Ribex 2006

DJL · 27 April 2006, 15:49

So who’s going? On which days? There doesn’t seem to be much in the way of RIBnet organisation this year?

Friday

Is anything happening?

If not does anyone fancy a BBQ on the beach in the evening if the weathers good or food and drinks at the Folly if the weathers not too good? Will those at work be tempted to join us after work?

Saturday

Any plans for a round IOW?

Who’s going to the Indian in the evening? Tim, has anywhere been booked/notified etc?

Sunday

Bruce, Cookee, Kitten & co are gathering at the Fountain after the show and then moving onto the Union Inn.

I am there Sunday only but am hoping for some beers after the close of the show. Also happy to meet up with anyone at bevvy time at 1.30pm (in case we all get bored

)

I will be there Friday lunchtime till sunday morning. Want to spend as much time on the water or in the pub as possible, please count me in.

Yep,
I am going on Friday. Hope to make an early start from Lymington, but having one or two sherberts on Thursday night, so I may not be all that early

Zippy · 28 April 2006, 19:55

Friday after work sounds like a great idea.

If the weather is nice then round the island on saturday also!

Want to have a look around the show this year. have missed all the others and very keen for a close look at that Ribcraft 750 sport!

Cookee · 28 April 2006, 20:24

We might be tempted to cruise up to the Folly after work on Friday - I'm sure we could give a couple of people a lift!

Tim M · 28 April 2006, 23:02

I will probably be at the show all three days. A BBQ sounds like a really good idea

roycruse · 29 April 2006, 09:02

Im driving up from cornwall on friday morning.

Launching near Drivers Wharf on the friday afternoon.

Im then playing around friday afternoon.

Ill be going round the isle of white on the saturday or sunday and going to the show the other day.

Im leaving deciding which day to do which to the weather.

Ill also be there most of the day monday - possibly wakeboarding etc.

I quite fancy a couple of beach bbqs etc...

Downhilldai · 29 April 2006, 23:05

My plan is similar to Roycruse's, but leaving on Sunday, to get back for work on Monday. Would be nice to do a lap of the Island in company, if anyone fancies it.

Zippy · 01 May 2006, 19:36

Hadnt realised quite how soon Ribex was!!!

Weather permitting Friday night and Saturday sound like a plan. Apparently im busy on the sunday though.

Hope to be able to take Andree up on his kind offer about a ride on his searafting designed Parker too!

roycruse · 01 May 2006, 19:58

There seems to be talk of beach BBQs on several threads - Just to make sure we don't all end up having completely separate BBQs in separate locations. Can someone local take the reigns and pick a location, day and time.

Current long range predictions are light northerlies - light cloud and dry (but this prediction could change).

Tides are low (about 1m) between 5pm and 7pm as the weekend progresses.

I reckon if we all turn up mid afternoon at priory bay we can all beach our boats and have the BBQ over low tide on the Friday or the Saturday.

I have looked but it is not obvious, does anyone know which Avon Dealer is going to be at the show?

Millermob · 02 May 2006, 20:53

BHG have been the main ones for the last couple of years that I've been, though I am sure Pacer marine and the likes will have someone there.

We'll be there on Friday & Saturday doing demos again. If the weather holds we could be on for a dash to Cherbourg for dinner on Saturday evening, then cheap hotel (or kip on the boat) & back to IOW for Sunday morning. Bring your passport if you fancy a fast trip to & from the land of decent food

Cheers

Ian
