Northwest RIBsters second meeting

Ian · 11 June 2003, 18:37

August 23/24 has been suggested for the next meeting for the Northwest RIBsters in the Conwy area. Details not confirmed, other than the dates at this stage, but numbers attending would be useful to arrange a room to meet in on the Saturday.
RIBs welcome for some fun on the water over the weekend, and B&B can be arranged in the lacal area.
No specific topic arranged so ideas or a general social get together.
Please post to this thread or PM me or Kevin Goulding with numbers and any ideas you have. We had a good turn out at the resurected first meeting so let's keep the regional flag flying!

Which one, second in North Wales or third in Blackpool/Fleetwood? And are you up for the IOM trip at the end of this month?

Mellow · 12 June 2003, 13:06

Ah....sorry Ian.....

I was replying to this thread....re; August trip....however....having just given up motorsports which I have been doing for the last 18 years I've decided to go back to Ribbing and enjoy water instead of tarmac

I'm up for any meets/trips, whenever/wherever....plenty of seating always available

I'm off to the States next Wednesday though until 3td July so presume I'll miss your next one

All the best

Hi folks

Have to count me out on the August one, already on holiday with the RIB down south wales at Milford Haven.

May consider coming up for the day depending on weather though, but would need to be have good conditions as its 150 miles each way.

Regards Gary

North West RIBsters meeting and cruising
AUGUST 23/24 2003

Preliminary agenda:
Friday evening/Saturday morning arrival at Conway
Saturday morning departure for Anglesey circumnavigation
Saturday evening social
Sunday morning Conwy estuary cruise, anchor for lunch and return
Sunday afternoon Llandudno/Colwyn Bay trip

Monday August 25 is a Bank Holiday therefore the weekend could be extended to include a cruise through the Menai Straights and along the Llyn Peninsula to Bardsey Island or something similar.

B&B and camping details will be advised later.

This is open to anyone from anywhere, if you are interested please post to this thread.

Ian · 30 June 2003, 21:47

OK, that's the first NWR Cruise completed with some success and some pain, 7 of us departed but only 6 returned!
Time to start planning the next. Conwy as a base with various options available. Already posted a possible agenda but open to ideas. Anything that avoids Puffin Island would be more than appreciated, honest!
Book the dates in your diary now so no clashes occur, August 23/24 and poss. 25.
If it turns out anything like the weekend just gone you're in for a great time.

GED · 30 June 2003, 22:14

TOP WEEKEND
Nice to meet you all, what a good trip. Big thanks to Ian and family for feeding us and sorting out digs at 10pm on a Saturday night. As for Puffing Island dont be put off, it just goes to show how the weather forcast can be right at some point.
Looking forward to meeting again in August .

Might have someone else interested for when we finally get round to doing the Isle of Man run. Was chatting with one of the blokes at the dive club tonight who has his own RIB, and he said it's a run he's wanted to do for years, but for obvious reasons didn't fancy it alone.

Ian · 03 July 2003, 23:46

Get him involved in the NWR. Just like diving, you spend as much time underwater as above, if you're with me anyway.

Ian,
I may be tempting fate here (regarding job) but I'm planning to make the Angelsey 'do'. Not sure on crew yet, I'll contact you later.
Regards,
Dave

Ian · 07 July 2003, 12:43

Look forward to meeting you there Dave, fingers crossed.
