Club Auction

Club Auction on Wednesday 15 November

The next club meeting is the Grand SCSA auction. This will be held on Wednesday 15 November at The Bear, Rodbourgh, start time 8:00 pm. This is always a popular night with many bargains to be had. Clear out the workshop and sell those models, radios, spares and modelling equipment you no longer need. 10% of the sale value goes to club funds.

The December meeting is the club AGM ( Wed 20th December. TBC? ). Membership for next year will be taken at this meeting. We will also need to elect three new club officers, Chairman (Andy Westgate), Treasurer (Michael Pearce) and Secretary (Mike Skitt) all wish to stand down. Please consider volunteering for these posts.

Sunday 29 October - Selsey
The morning started off with a N - NNE breeze, but unfortunately this veered round to NE by 1100.
Lots of pillow cases, but after take off these immediately descended into the valley below, so there was no contention for the same piece of sky.

And finally ....

A SCSA Club Meeting is in progress when a mobile phone rings from a table at the back of the room. One SCSA Member walks over, engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else at the meeting stops to listen.

SCSA MEMBER: "Hello"

WOMAN CALLING ON PHONE: "Honey, it's me. Are you at the Bear?"

SCSA MEMBER: "Yes"

WOMAN: "I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only £1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?"

SCSA MEMBER: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2007 models. I saw one I really liked."

SCSA MEMBER: "How much?"

WOMAN: "£60,000"

SCSA MEMBER: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing ... the house we wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking £950,000."

SCSA MEMBER: "Well, then go ahead and give them an offer, but just offer £900,000."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you!"

SCSA MEMBER: "Bye, I love you, too."

The SCSA Member hangs up. The other members at the meeting are looking at him in astonishment.

Then he asks: "Anyone know who this phone belongs to?"
