NO. 407 FEBRUARY 2016 Diana Francis - Honorary Life Time President Contents The Magnet Midget! Events...................................2 ince the start of the New Year, I have been taking Ciaran to the Diary Dates..........................5 SCroydon Scalextric Club, after he attended on the odd occasion Messages From Margate......7 last year during school holidays etc. OK I know it is a late night for Chairman’s Chat...............14 him on a school night, but as he messes about in his bedroom for at Carrera Corner..................16 least an hour or so after we put him to bed I thought what the hell, Forza Slot.it........................19 he may as well come out and race! Swindon Swapmeet...........32 Firstly I would like to thank all those who go to the club for Bits & Pieces.......................37 making him feel welcome and for putting up with “his enthusiasm”, Obituary.............................43 especially Peter, Dave, Mick, Chris and Brian who he appears to have Ebay Watch........................44 latched on to, and considers them all as some sort of slot legends and that he can seek further advice from to improve his skills. Of course as he is new to this racing lark, I had to invest in his prospective ability and buy cars for each class we race, a new DS controller and of course a pit box to put it all in, a not inconsiderable investment it has to be said, when I also have to part with the equivalent money spent on him on the other two girls! Due to his inexperience and age, he is permitted to run with magnets in his cars and Chris this week christened him with the title above, as in just a few weeks he is beginning to grasp the concept of car control and at times can keep up with some of us running with no magnets until his concentration lapses.
