I have been a little remiss here. Maybe I should tell you what Brighton Model World is for those that dont know.
At the beginning of each year a lot of Sussex model clubs, ranging from boats, cars, trucks trains and planes invite clubs from all over the country and hire the Brighton International Centre for 3 glorious days. For the last 5 years they have asked robots from Robot Wars to attend their event. Last year Robot Show was asked to hold the event for them and this year details have just been finalised for next years event.
As you all know, spaces are limited as are expences ( nothing changes does it ) so please book early.
This is a Friday, Saturday and Sunday event. Saturday and Sunday being the most important public days. Good fun is had by all and on Saturday night a resturant is booked for us all to have a good eat and drink.
Cheers.
Brighton IS glorious but the centre? UGH! Youd be better off on the West Pier although I dont recommend being anywhere near West Street on a Saturday night!
As I already knew about this event Ive had a thought about the flyer(s) but its not legal or even moral and will definately upset the model railway buffs and lovers of certain childrens books!
Karoline
Anyway - Friday 13th? Ill bring my Theramin
Karoline
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ,a Theramin.. wanna have... for Babs
Babeth wants play a theramin!
(is it an old style wardrobe sized,or a modern laptop sized one?)
Theramin... THERAMIN... maammmaaaa !!! (wail, sob)
Mike, you will not have to nag us into coming to th t event if Karoline brings that Theramin. Ill do the job myself. Mario will not have a quiet night from now on until then.
Its a bugger trying to park in central Brighton and Ill never get the wardrobe sized Theramin on the bus - anyway I havent actually got a Theramin.... I just stand in a corner and make funny noises. Anyone that knows me will testify to that
Any suggestion about shoving ME inside a large wardrobe will be met with even more Theramin type noises
now, I must be either too old or just plain stupid. What on Earth is a Theramin? Or dont I want to know?
Parking is not too bad for competitors. We have our own private car park at Black Rock with a mini bus to shuttle us back and forth.
Mike.
A Theramin or Theremin is an electronic instrument played by waving your hands near a couple of antennae. It detects a capacitance effect between one antenna and hand to control volume, and between the other antenna and hand to control pitch. An early synthesiser.
Think of the incidental music from The Forbidden Planet if you want to know what it sounds like.

go down to the Listen to samples section and click on the play links.
it is used in many scifi movies as a sound effect for flying saucers.
