Just got out of the pool, the stars were out and sky was clear over my place, hopefully a good sign for tomorrow.

If it can't be run tomorrow then we could always run the whole lot on the sunday and turn the lights on if it gets dark.

Weather at Meakin Park
Hi Guys,
I just got up and it it drizzling pretty well at my place and i am 10 minutes from the track.
Get out your hovercrafts for some interesting racing
Then again they ran the world titles in the rain a few times so get out your balloons and cover your receivers and servos and you'll be fine...unlike the weather.

Club website
This is my first post here, only found about this forum today when I was told by a fellow club member that this is where the club comittee posts all the big news that you think would be posted on their website www.lcrccc.com. Not to bitch or anything but when told on saturday at the track that racing would be held on sunday for this years summer cup as it was too wet on saturday (understandable) I naturally turned up first thing sunday morn with quite a few other racers and club members only to find out that there was "something" posted about it on this forum!!!! I notice that there is a post here but is it even by club comittee?? and its not very detailed anyway is it? but the real point of my once off post and bitch is that Logan City radio control car club has a website so please USE IT!!! so that future frustrations and travel expenses may be avoided!!!!
p.s alot of spectators arrived around the time I left (10am sunday) after talking to a few of them relised they were potential new memebers who had read about the meet on your website

summer cup
It was announced on the summer cup thread, this is the best place we have found to get the word accross. Sorry if you feel let down. The web site was not accessible at the time. Short of ringing everyone, which was not an option, rc tech was the best alternative. It was posted on the correct thread.
I had one call all morning, so i gather most people had the news, and from what i can tell alot of guys went down for some practice.

Im with nova on this one.....i didn't realise that it was the duty of the committee to make up excuses, and considering that i tried to call u twice, brad, i don't think it's good enough. Im not trying to point the finger at anyone here, but u guys stuffed this one up well and truly this time, and as a dedicated racer that travels a considerable distance to your continually inconsistent meets (mainly due to light issues), i think you all should acknowledge it.
p.s. Ill make sure to tell all my mates that want to get into r/c racing that you now need a computer as part of your tool kit.

Firstly i am not on the committee, i am one of the few people that trys to help. But if you want to post crap about me, then you need to get your facts straight buddy. I can defend my self. Shane thought it would be nice to tell everyone that i didn't answer my phone. As mentioned i received one call, and i have checked my phone and there was no unanswered calls. So i can and will defend myself.
As far as a computer in your pit bag, well thats up to you. or, you can get on this forum, and check from time to time what people are saying.
Again there are no excuses being made, it rained you fool, it was decided in the end that it would be in the best interests of safety not to run it on the sunday due to the amount of mud and water that was present.
The only stuff up here buddy was mother nature, go back to your rock.

fair enough
ok i think weve all made our heated points here. Look, at the end of the day I think it is understood that the rain is the cause of the meet not going ahead.However, maybe the un educated few of us who didnt know about rctech need a link or just a coment on the www.lcrccc.com website about the info on rctech? just that as mentioned it wanst just members that didnt know about it , it was also FUTURE members that came to watch.(example= a bloke from ipswich wanting to race for the first time seen the dates on the website) Apologies Brad (not relising you were not on the comittee)

of course safety will always be in your best interest, but it would have been the right thing to do to put a sign on the fence at meakin park for those who don't know anything about www.rctech.net.
p.s. Please understand that i am not trying to cause problems or arguments-all i wanted to do was get my point across.....
