Petrolhead 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Right folks, after a large gap the Reading Bashes are back in action with Reading Bash 8 - RB8 - on Sunday 12th October. It's been quite a while since we've all met up and given our cars a good thrash and this is the ideal time and place to do just that. It's a good chance for TCers to meet, chat and drive with fellow R/C enthusiasts. We're all a very friendly bunch, and really enjoy meeting new members. You can bring any cars / parts you have for trade or sale aswell. So where is it? Well, along Caversham Park Road, Reading (Postcode RG4) there are Caversham Park Village Tennis courts with a car park. The turning into the car park is a few hundred yards away from the tuning (on the other side of the road) into Fraser Avenue. If you put Fraser avenue into something such as http://maps.google.co.uk/, you will see Caversham Park road and using the satellite feature you can see the tennis courts/car park. We'll be meeting in the car park at 12, but should you turn up later, here's a quick map of how to get to where we'll be running our cars: You walk through the car park, past the skate park along a narrow dirt track. Keep going past the first line of bushes, until you reach the woods. We'll be right infront of you on the edge of the woods, by a big bowl. For more info/pics of previous bashes, see the Reading Bashers SIG here: http://tamiyaclub.com/sig_member.asp?id=21 There's already a good few atendees confirmed, and I'll start a list going up asap. If you are coming, are thinking of coming or just fancy typing something, say so in this thread so I can get an idea of who's likely to come. Hope to see you all there. Here's the list of people who are attending RB8 (I will keep updating as more people say they can make it): Dunkman S.Williamson Rad22Rad rally-man + Son Ryanbored jagsxr Sibeseven + Friend ... from Yorkshire!! Bin^jammin^ Olly_Lunchbox + Son Andersop + Daughter Nitromike MFrV1 grahamg The Hobbymaster Bag of Badgers + Little Lady Rizzo Rat (Possible) Stevo309 (Possible) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petrolhead 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Awesome, we're quickly racking up the numbers here. I won't have many cars with me either, sold a few off lately. Got a something Blaze (can't remember what it's called exactly, cba to go into cold garage to look) twin motor truck which eats a pack in a 4 minutes, so that'll be my main runner.

Olly_Lunchbox 28 Posted September 27, 2008 I'd really like to come to this. I only have Tamiya electrics but I do also have an enthusiastic 8 year old who loves nothing better than running around righting upturned cars (bribed with McDonalds) Are kids allowed or should I leave him at home to paint the garden fence?

Cheers Ryck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petrolhead 0 Posted September 27, 2008 Olly, feel free to bring your kid along, the earlier you start them in the world of Tamiyas the better! Ryck, we're normally there for a few hours, by which time most people have run out of batteries and / or broken all their cars, so down to you whether or not you can make it, would be a shame if you couldn't.
