A Baby Ribster is born
May I make it official and offer my warmest congratulations to Becky and John (Kennett) on their new addition.

My thoughts are with you at this happy time and I hope all is well.

(as far as I know, and I could stand corrected, they had a baby boy on Tuesday at 11:00 - not sure if am or pm - weighing in at about 7 lbs. and they have called him Will)

John, sorry to get in there before you, but I gathered you were rather busy at the moment.

Well done, very happy for all of you and hope to meet the new arrival at the SOC send -off.

Take care, and hope to have news from Brighton soon.

(you practising the sleep deprivation as well then!)

If not then the dry bags look ideal, and complete with holding down straps

Hope you are ALL well (everyone always seems to leave out the doting father )

Of course not - I hope all three of you are fine.

(apparently this happens alot with people having babies - everyone concentrates on the baby and not on the mum or dad!)

I have been told this - not from experience!

Great News - congatulations to you and the family.

Not sure if Halfords will guarantee a fit for a baby seat to a RIB - but we could take up the challenge ourselves ......

Wow!
Congratulations John & Becky! He looks just lovely!

Ours is due in September...can't wait ! (but the doc said it would be better... )

A bit more effort from the rest and the new generation of ribsters is safe! (We rely on Nadia for the new generation of groupies... )
