Lets hope for some good weather!

Graham

OK the room is now yours but don't thank me pls thank Bogi cos it was his

Andre

slightly of topic,
any of you guys go out for the littlehampton power boat racing? we are doing the fire work display again this year, very spectacular of course, be a nice sight from the water, and it could benefit me and others if a friendly rib was on hand to assist at some point setting up. if we do not get things sorted pretty quick, July 29-30 display pm sat 29

Bruce suggested CH77

anyway the weather does not seem to be very good the www.metoffice.co.uk says that around Bognar Regis 30 knot winds if this is the case then for sure one should not attempt to come by rib. The alternative would be to tow to LA have a good party saturday night cos all has been reserved and the next day as the weather will be better cruise to Brighton ect
Pls check the weather forcast and see the thread this evening so we all know whats happening

Hi Andre

That bl.... weather I was so looking forward to our cruise. If its too bad to go we will drive over to LA for the evening do and stay over in our booked room. We havn't got a trailer etc to be able to tow the boat over, its a huge monster anyway. It'd be good to meet everyone for future cruises.

Cheers
Rosie and Iain

Many thanks for your support. We will have some ribs here and if the weather is better on the Sunday we will most probably be able to accomodate everybody

I visited the Arun View this afternoon and confirmed to Paul that I expect 25 persons so the tables will be reserved. The best seats in the house so we can expect to have a good meal and a good party and perhaps some ribbing as well. Anyway I am sure we will all have a good weekend

Hi Andre,

Have decided to come via road! Will trail my boat in the hope of getting some time to play. No doubt there will be room for some boatless souls. With a bit of luck Sunday looks OK to go up the Aurn river.
