Inaugural RIBnet Conference
I have always found that in attempting to organise a cruise, meeting or whatever, you cannot please everyone ALL of the time. Based on already established cruises and other activities
(ie the calendar is very full) weather considerations and distances to travel my suggestion is as follows:
Date: 10 & 11 May 2003
Venue: Plymouth.
Specific Meeting place: Mayflower Marina
This would not be to be a ‘cruise’, but rather an informal get-together where like-minded people (virtual people is what we are currently) put faces to names, do some local trips, mess about in the boats, drink and drink again have a meal in the evening etc.
As we near the intended date, in conjunction with the 'locals' I will try and get discounted rates for hotels and restaurants.
I do not want to sound draconian, but many people will have other ideas, some good some bad - ultimately a view must be taken of all the issues and everyone who is interested should try and make the effort and join us on this week-end.
Your comments are always welcome.

Nice one Charles 
I think this is the only way to go -- just pick a date and go for it. Some won't be able to make it, but you'll never please everyone!

Absolutely. Have done the organisational thing this year I can echo those comments! Pick the date - it wont suit all but at least we have something to plan to. Its in my diary for next year. (I want to meet up with all the other Plymouth Poly/UoP alumni!)

No promises, but I wouldn't be surprised if one or two people came down to Land's End in their boats to meet you and escort you up to Plymouth........

Hi Charles
Count me in. I'll see if I can get Bill and his SIB to come as well.
How about a SIB race?

Just in case you wanted it somewhere central, then we do have a ski lake in Northampton, which is in the grounds of a hotel. Sounds ideal to me.
In the unlikely event you think this is unsuitable then I am prepared to travel and take passengers(as far as Milton Keynes where there is a nother ski lake)
Can't wait Phil

Northampton ski lake would be good for me as my parents live near there. Not much chance of waves mind you!

Fill and Nigel, I think you've missed the point. The decision has been taken. It's to be in Plymouth....

Hi folks
Can I make a suggestion please?
I'm happy to take a trip over to Northants sometime, in adittion to the mass meeting, if Phill or Nigel would like to arrange a date etc. We could start another 'cruising' thread.
Keith (have boat - will travel) Hart
