okey dokey.. choose from the following dates... sat 6th dec... sat 13th dec... sat 20th dec? reply with preferred date only...ie "6th" in the subject line with no message.. and we'll go from there. i'll check with PHC for berths but i forsee no problems as there's usually loads of room, i may also be able to arrange overnight parking if you're going to kip on someones boat. |

How about a practice on the 6th if the weather looks good anyway (for Forbie's walllets sake!) and then take it from there. Got to include the 20th for Hoo/Hoo2. Really pleased that Barry has decided to stay overnight on his boat rather than head back at 0200 as last year - have you fitted heating Barry????????? |

as organisor you are suppored to be available for any of the dates you put forward! |
||||||||

i am.. but i want to make sure the origional "team" are there... thus 20th is now my preferred choice... hoo won't be back on terra firma till the 17th. and forbsie's got another do on the 6th. as for me... i'm clear of weekends untill xmas... when i'm working all thu'...horay...not! why fancy meeting for a pint and a kebab on the 6th as well? |

Fer gawds sake!! When is it then?????? Cols Picture Album |

20th then. happy with that? Hoo, forbsie, dancan, et all... say 12:00 on the quay... unless it's raining then in the pub! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
as long as this guy all can make it, as well as Col, then the 20th looks great and I will start the logistical exercise of getting it in the family diary prior to that actual date. Assume we will use Dolphin Haven as a base and plan an itererary around the actual weather on the day as per last year - with hopefully a flat calm crisp day that has us in Swanage or the Banks early on and back to the Quay for the evening. Note Barry prefers this trip to be made in the dark! |
||||||||

|||||||

got a PM from barry, he can't make it.. which quite frankly, is a bit of a bugger! but yep, same MO as last one. everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. now about that mulled wine.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
If 20th ain't good for everyone, revert to 6th. I know that means George won't make it, a real bugger, but you can't please all. The 20th is a bit near Christmas with trees to buy and decorate that weekend etc. etc. Can't remember where that leaves Forbsie, except 125 quid involved somewhere. And come on....it's got to take at least 200 posts before we finalise a date! Old Chinese proverb 'Man who sail boat into rice field, soon get into paddy' |

Huddy blell, just read the other thread. Seems 20th it is, then, shame about Barry, looks like Jake may make up for the loss. As long as Col can make it with the mulled. Perhaps we should each bring a fermos to the party (reminds me of the David Beckham joke, you've all heard that one, David Beckham and the fermos, havn't you?).

I want to see BOTH my mates, George and Barry!!! B*gger the lunch! I haven't had any income since June so would much rather party wiv me mates. My Project |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
just a sugestion (don't attack my spelling, as iv'e just got in from the pub!) why don't we arrange a weekend to decend on barry? go on you know he'll approve... in the end! whadda ya fink? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
right-eeeho ho ho, 20th it is, what time d'ya wanna meet, early.... mid day.... i finked about 11-12:00 maybe, PBO's RIB is coming (i think) so it may get a bit damp! how many are bringing boats? how many require off road parking? who's staying where? PS.. this has potential to become a long thread (again) steve. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
timing doesn't worry me have boat have caravan parking? off road parking?????????? ps still think we ought to do the 6th as well if Barry can make it and the weather look good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
If weathers good, will bring boat. If weather bad, will bring car Not sure where I'm staying - where's recommended locally |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
there's plenty of hotels etc all around the quay area. nearest is the quay thistle hotel, i'm not sure what else is along the quay, and there's a holiday inn express within walking distance (i'll probably use that one, as it's cheap and i'm a tight wad) i'll have a look about when i'm down there next week and see if i can't do a deal of some decription. see ya there. steve. |

Theresa's disgusted that you never mentioned her!!!....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

You know, I was thinking that when I typed it and I knew she'd give me grief. It goes without saying that I couldn't imagine one wivout the other. Sorry, Theresa. I won't do it again. My Project |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
She said she was going to go to tcm's with you and CCScott as chaperones. One on each arm so to speak. She said she would be quite safe with TWO hairy arsed drunken Scotsmen to protect her............ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
the only thing they might try to protect her from would be the bar! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Well if you are going also, then the lady will be well looked after. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|

Daughter is having her football Xmas party on 20th That is just about the only date I can't make. Is this date now finalised or is there an alternative. Cols Picture Album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
6th is the alternative apparantly.............. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Can't make the 20th. but 6th ok see previous post Julie , IMOSHO of course, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
6th is starting to look best for majority.. the only exception being george (Hoo) as he's working.. but i think he has a bit of a problem on the 20th too, as he's in london or sumfink.. i'd go for either! but 6th is as good.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Have a bow tie do in St. James's on the 19th but could have made it to Poole the next day. However, it now looks like the 20th is inconvenient for most, so guys just go ahead and we will give it a miss this time. At least it made us get off our butts and do our Xmas shopping this past weekend...... George |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
with regards to a few changes, the date that best suits the majority is the 6th december. Itinery remains the same (i.e. there ain't one, just a few ideas... al dependent on the weather) got a good idea who will make it, and nearer the time we'll have a count up to book some berths at Dolphin Haven. I hope this doesn't cause anyone any additional problems, and look forward to meeting you all again. regards, steve. |

Not heard much about this of late. I think the 6th was settled on, it's only two weeks away, I'm booked in the Thistle Hotel for the night (too damp & miserable to stay afloat). Who's coming, did you manage to book Dolphin Haven, Steve? Old Chinese proverb 'Man who sail boat into rice field, soon get into paddy' |

Just not responding to you Geoff! I am assuming that all the people that said they were going, and especially those that got the thing shifted bact to the 6th - are still going. In no particular order that's Me BarryH You Col Forbsie Powerskipper (evening for some reason?) BrendanS Rumtigger er and Aztec who is organising.................. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
|
Can't make 6th unfortunately Hope everyone has a cracking time, and see you at the next one Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo |

CREW WANTED. Would like to join you but partner has a course that day. Don't fancy singlehanded sailing so subject to finding crew would leave Saturday (at time to suit tide) from Hamble return Sunday. Boat is AWB 38foot charter coded with all safety gear takes 8 if you are talking to your partner 4 if not! I am yachtmaster. If anyone would like to join me it would be my pleasure. Any level of experience welcome - I have often gone out with completely inexperienced crews. Anyone out there interested? |
||||||||

||||||||

Just about to set off from Oxfordshire. By the time I get the boat in the water and fuelled up, it'll probably be about 11:30 by the time I get round to Dolphin Haven. I mean it is 400yds! See you all later. Old Chinese proverb 'Man who sail boat into rice field, soon get into paddy' |
