Jim Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hiya Shane, Welcome to our great club. Come along to the meetings, meet the members and join in. Lots of help from the more experienced members and Banter from Me. Did I tell you about the " Buy Jim Beer and Cakes " rule for new members ?

Shanew Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 hi mike,jim I live in bedfordshire and boat is on a trailer at the moment. Ive completed my vhf short range cert and ive done a seamanship and navigation course , class based. Been spending the last couple months getting her ready for sailing. Buying safety gear etc. Was looking at sailing her in the crouch, blackwater. Then came across this club and after reading many posts my mind was made up and here i am. .

Coddy Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi Shane Welcome to the best club & site on the South coast. I use to live in Bedfordshire 6+yrs ago so I know how far it is from the sea!! There is always plenty of help and advice offered to those who ask (and sometimes those who don't ask!) Safety is paramount in the club and there are many people who will help you when ever you need it. Enjoy your stay & the more you contribute the more you will get out of the club. Oh, you will also need a good sence of humour as well Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanew Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks to all your welcomes guys. Yes coddy safety comes first, i have booked a week staying at rockley park from 3rd sept to 10sept and have aranged a pontoon for the week so hope to get out as much as i can. If anybody else is going out and wouldnt mind some company it would be welcome. It is a trek from bedfordshire so may have to look for a mooring somewhere. The boat goes into priory marina on monday to get electrics all checked. Looking Forward to maiden voyage. Hope it floats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Welcome Shane and please join in and use the offers of advice. Your shetland is a very capable boat and I hope you get lots of fun on her The time at Rockley coincides with the Club open boat comp so maybe we will see you taking part or at least have a chance to meet many of the members.

Jim Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi Shane, Reduce the file size to less than 128 K and it'll go on. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman1055 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Welcome to the Club Shane I used to have a Shetland as well and had many years of fun with her. Several of the members, myself included, keep our boats at Rockley and I am sure you will be able to buddy up with someone for a few trips while you are down in Dorset. Make the most of the club and ensure that you access the knowledge and skills that are available in club members. They are all friendly so do not hesitate to chat to them. There is also a monthly meeting held on the first Thursday of the month at Parkstone Trades and Labour club 7:30 for 8 if you are down this way. This is a good place to get to meet and chat to people . Best wshes Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi and welcome! Yes, please fish the Open, the more the merrier!!! Question: is that radar in your craft? If so, is it broadband? If not, it looks a little low to be safe! Could give you a headache or much worse! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanew Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 HI thanks for changing that yes its a radar and that was one question i was going to ask. Would it need to be fitted higher,heard not too good for the brain cells dont have many left and want to keep what ive got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaicemat Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi Shane, you're not the only 'out of town' member, I'm in Oxfordshire. I notice you are only listed as a forum member so, if you have joined the club, that will need to be changed so you can access the full site. Catch you on the wet side sometime soon. Terry.

Stuie Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Werlcome Shane. Can't fault your reasoning for joining the club. Best move I made in a long time was to join a few months ago. The help, support and friendship is second to none. It's so reassuring when your at sea to know there are friends nearby or at the other end of the radio. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanew Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi bill , terry Yes i am a club member so i will have to change that. Be good to meet you both some time. shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi Shane I deal with some of the forum admin. As yet I have not had confirmation of your joining from the membership sec or our treasurer however as you will discover the club is run on trust so I have updated your status accordingly. Enjoy the rest of the site. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Martin Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi martin thanks for that, i recieved a email from paul as i had double paid using paypall.he said i should recieve a membership pack by post. Cheers Shane Sorry Shane we can only accept you as one member. No benefits for you joining twice so if it's alright with you I'll have a pint of Carling extra cold out of the second payment Martin BTW membership pack will arrive via email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
