How many people are going to want a meal Thursday night ?

If it's most people then I'll try and arrange a table, I'm going over myself tonight to see if I can get a menu to post here.

The meal was excellent and it's pricing was good value. Er, if you are a wine buff though, stick to beer!

I personally will eat before I go.

Went and had another look yesterday, if you bring the lorry use the entrance nearest the garage as it has much less slope. Don't use the entrance next to the railway bridge.

Look forward to meeting you all

We'll be coming with the trailer as it's on that at Paul Tilleys having the tubes fitted and we're picking it up on the way over from Dartmouth.

By the way if anyone wants Burgees, stickers, polos or fleeces I can bring whatever you want over with me PM, email or call on 01548 856078 or 07836 268747 and save the postage!

Couple of photos loading the hull onto the trailer and the engine and set back bracket and engine.

Sorry I can't make it . Would have loved to meet up with old and new friends and, of course, seen the new boat! Hope to catch up with some of you over the Christmas/New Year break. Have a good night!

Cookee's boat is looking the business love the touches of bling! Just wish I had a bigger wallet. Thanks for taking the trouble of showing her to us, hope you were in time for the last ferry.
