Time to dust off those subs, ships, and transmitters! We'll be at the Shrewsbury, PA YMCA this Sunday, Feb 12.
We meet at 10:00, run boats until 1:00, then repair to a local sub shop to converse, solve the world's problems, and generally enjoy each other's company.
We had a fantastic turnout last month, let's keep the momentum going!
A few basics for the new folks, or as a reminder to the rest of the gang:
1. SCALE electric power only. No steam, gas, etc.
2. NO FAST ELECTRICS. If your boat cannot be operated in a safe manner among possibly 10 other ships plus submerged submarines, please leave it at home.
3. The cost of the pool rental is split among the captains. This usually works out to between $7 and $10 each. Spectators are always free.
4. Beginners are not only welcomed, but encouraged. We love nothing more than being able to mentor someone just starting out in the hobby.
5. Bring your kids / grandkids! A number of our group have kid friendly boats that they are most willing to allow the youngsters to run.
The Shrewsbury YMCA address is:
100 Constitution Ave
Shrewsbury, PA
17361
There is a small parking lot on the left as you enter the drive, just past the Post Office. That's the best place to park, as it's directly across the drive from the pool entrance door. Be aware that it does fill quickly, as many members of the church which uses the building park there, especially in bad weather. If that lot is full, just continue on to the main lot.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all Sunday!
