Thanks, and look forward to meeting anybody concerned

Form recieved, with thanks!

Now, a small issue perhaps you could advise me on...

I have to work on Saturdays, to help fund my Boating habit. This means I can't get to the boat before about 17:00 hrs, and adding an hour and a half or so to get to Henley means I'll not be there until 19:00 hrs.

Where do I moor? Will there be a space, or will I have to raft up* to some poor sod



*i.e. imbed by bows into another, hopefully not Steel, vessel...

Rafting up is pretty much the norm (sometimes 3 abreast) I'm afraid but if you are booked in there will be a space for you whatever time you get there.

Don't worry though, rafting is a good way to meet other boaters and check out their beer stocks

Hope to see you there,

Darren.

As Darren has said, space will be allocated for you. Probably best to make contact when you leave T&K or once you are through Marsh lock and we can give you more detailed instructions.

Right-ho....

The booking form and chaeque are ready to post

We are going to try to leave T&K by around 4PM (Earlier if I can get somebody to cover for me) and I would imagine around 2 hours to the rally site.

We're in for both the Hog and Chicken meals, so will have lots of liquid refreshment on board

Carli and crew are planning to attend. I have not been on the internet since Sunday when someone dug through the local BT cable so no phone and no internet.

Currently at my Mums where I am using my brothers connection!

BT have so far sent my 7 text messages assuring me they are working on it!!


Happy days........

A quick trip to John Lewis today has procured a new Blazer, White shirt and natty tie for myself, and a new Dress for Mrs 'NR' for Sunday evening.

Knowing how exacting the Boating fraternity is about dress code, I trust this will pass muster

I now have coverage at work on Saturday, so should be leaving T&K by 3PM

I can't imagine having power at the moorings, but will a Honda suitcase genny be acceptable at reasonable times?
