Toy Car Competition
Thanks go out to both Ian and Roger who have spent time in putting together the car kits for each car with all items being prepared and drilled ready for the exhausts and wheels to be mounted, all of which were included within three boxes for the teams.
The room was set up with three lathes being set out in a row for this competition with each team made up of three club members, there are three lathe masters who will be offering individual guidance to the team members as they progress through the project. The lathe masters for the evening were Paul, Roger and Steve. Each team had the same pattern to follow.
At the end of the challenge event the teams will have two car bodies which would need to be split apart, the idea of this being to have a balanced system within the lathe speed, when complete the teams will need to concentrate on one car to complete, and this must be able to run along the floor.
Different members took part in this process and all gained some additional experience and knowledge to upgrade their individual skill level.
For this evening, Rob took over the role of looking after the raffle, whilst Steve was looking after one of the lathes.
