Thank you all very much for your help I really do appreciate it. 🙂 Thinking more & more about shifting it I'm now looking at a less bulky machine. I need to check the actual size and weight but with Brian's hoist and my trailer I may just about be able to shift it myself ( with help of course) It is the same machining size but a desktop version. I'm hoping it will squeeze into my trailer. 🙂 More like this:

Thanks all I really appreciate the feedback. Thinking of buying a bigger CNC router. Very expensive over here. Still expensive but less so if I go direct. Still researching which brand / company to buy from. No wheels and about 350kg once out of the packaging. I have a trailer but a bit small. Needs to be something that can lift it onto my drive. I have a trolley that I'm hoping will take the weight to move it to my garage. Still looking at options and this is one of them. This sort of thing.

Ah! The joys of retirement eh Brian. Why do people think they need to find things to keep us occupied ? ? ? ?

Hi all, Before I go down the route of searching the internet . . . . . I'm thinking of importing something from China. I can get it delivered to Southampton Docks but then I need it delivered to my house. It will be a crate 1,600mm X 1,300mm x 1,700mm high and weighing 400kg. I'm not after a freebie but wondered if anyone knew someone with experience of this who could do the job at a fair price without ripping me off! Anyone know anybody please? ? ? Ta. Jim

Lovely grin there Steve. She's really enjoying that!

Last I remember Graham: After selling your boat you bought a Kayak you could stand up in and talking about adding an engine I think?

Welcome Back Graham. My Dad had a boat at Redcliffe for years and as you say: It's a bit of a Jaunt. As long as you're OK for time it's very pleasant too. We usually manage a trip up to Wareham in Tiddler at least once a year. We tend to go under the bridge and up as far as the bypass too. Don't go at low tide though. Jim

I needed to know mine so I used this: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/online-services/find-nhs-number/ You will need to answer a few questions first.

Only until the beam trawlers plough it over again.

We had one in the club for a while but I don't think he had any influence with the weather! Back to the "Earwig in a matchbox" then. 🤪

A great weekend had by all. I was nursing a combination of a cold and Hay fever so did B****r all ! Not much of a treat for Jackie's Birthday ! You really had the weather for it though.

Glad you & Blake had a good day but bad news on the engine. Hope it's not too expensive Chris.

I'm guessing you mean: I will put a reminder again WC 28. 6 ( June ) .21 So in two weeks you'll reminds us!

Hi Neil, This is supposed to be Apple format. Give it a try. Porgy-1.m4v

Jerry asked me to post this: It's a mate of his yesterday 8th June I expect Rob will nip out after work ! Porbeagle.mp4

Sorry. Can't make it and the weather looks great too. Jackie's Birthday ! Tight lines all. Jim

Happy Birthday Charlie. 48 You're too old for Beer & Cake so I'll have yours!

Thanks Steve. We looked at some Russel pups the other day and fell in love but maybe looking at a rescue dog rather than feeding the pockets of puppy producers. We didn't buy dogs when I was young. People were always looking to home their pups. And yes my favourite dogs are Heinz 57 Not after a freebie. I know it'll cost but just weighing up the odds before leaping in and regretting it later.

Thanks all for the advice. That's exactly what we thought. My days of chasing around like an idiot are long gone! I can do the idiot bit OK but the chasing around I'm gonna struggle with. 🤪

Thanks Rob. I'll speak to the boss later.

Nah! We've been on about getting a dog when I retire for years. We've had a few in the family over the years but perhaps it's time I had my own now! I could train it to nick your fish while you're cleaning the boats down !

Jackie and I are thinking about getting a doggy. Before we contact the rehoming people. Are there any available within the club that we could consider? Small to medium size preferred, not too old as we need the exercise too!

Happy Birthday Dave.
