Home page photo nominations

Have you got a photo that you reckon deserves to be on the home page? Post it here and maybe you'll be lucky!

If there's a picture posted by someone in another thread that you want to nominate, then post a link.

I've started off with a dozen or so fairly recent pictures, but it makes me realise just how many good pictures we've got here.

John

JK,

I would have thought that some of the pics on here http://rib.net/forum/showthread.php?t=17705 were worthy especially the 45 degrees turning on the tube one...

(unless you don't want it to look like the "Parker Baltic Owners Club!!!").

John

I’d like to nominate these shots taken by Sir Jackeen on the Folly Cruise in December.

Gratuitous self-admiration of us in my tatty old boat it might be, but they capture the spirit of a family day out.

Sir Jackeen may have slightly bigger versions as these were posted before you upped the size limit.

Yeah I know Fuller must be so happy. gArfie doesn't need a knife cos he cuts things with his Razor sharp wit!

But to get back on topic The ones with Flikka in will always do it for me, I am quite fond of the Searider as well

Just putting the record straight

A couple of my faves (I might get around to adding some flying rib pics later):

Ah, OK. You posted them so they got credited to your user name!
