Maverick Martin

Charlie all the dates are in "club Talk" and pinned at the top of the page Martin

Yep I'll second you Terry Martin

Even better Terry after such a long cold winter (apart from you and your Cuba trip) I am looking forward to however many nights we have Martin

Both it's so obvious you havent been before Graham It's all good honest fun though Martin

and rolling back down the hill half cut and lost for those that kip on the boat Whatever Dean and I will eat and drink anywhere.............well he will at least So Friday Maris Hall Saturday Harbour lights Sorted Martin

Graham The other list is indeed a hotel/restaurant booking. Not sure you need to take a dingy and outboard as several of the larger boats will have that facility available but if you would rather the independence thats ok. Mainbrace do have a water taxi that is not overly expensive. I believe it used to be around

Dave I don't know the hp of the outboards as Wendy forgot to show them to me today, I will try and find out for you I will also pick up the chop saw for you to look at. Martin

Alun I will collect the gear from Wendy and you can come over have a look and decide on what if anything to offer From memory the chain is not overly large 6-8mm not sure of length but will find out. Martin

Adam just googled it at Machine Mart, they are around

Wendy Horne is about to move and has several items to dispose of. Wendy hasn't put prices on any of the gear but she isn't looking for a fortune and does need it gone within the next week or so. If not sold hear we will get a dealer in to take it all on. So offers please. I can arrange for viewing either at Wendy's or my place just let me know what you might be interested in

We are also aiming to take a small inflatable with outboard that others are welcome to use if needed. Martin

Graham with good forecast you will have no problem. If the forecast is less than favourable then I guess none of us will be going. For myself I would prefer less than a full on F4 but would also take into consideration the direction and outlook for the period of the trip. A F5 for me would be a no no. No choice if it catches you unawares for the return leg but planning is everything. We still have 1 space available on Awol although we will keep this space as a last resort so it can't be banked on. Awol is a fairly large boat but is slightly restricted for cockpit space. She will fish 3 on the drift at a push but I am a greedy boy and like loads of room Other boats look to have space but maybe the skippers haven't yet updated their crew list? It would be appreciated I'm sure if those that are taking their boats would please update crew status to help those like Graham who may be looking for a ride. Martin

Or push the ctrl button and use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out Only problem with zooming out is those of us with bad eyes can then see the pictures ok but then can't read the postings Martin

Stuart It's not worth playing with what we have as hopefully in the not to distant future we will have completely new forum software. We just have to decide on what program and then when Paul has spare time. Martin

It's because people post pictures that are to large for the forum making it necessary for users to pan right to see the whole screen. If it becomes a major issue ie disrupts our home page I will delete the offending pictures. Martin

Poole is desperately short of pontoon berths and facilities, thats why it's so bloomin expensive so, I for one think it's a brilliant idea certainly better than the new twin fails bridge idea. Martin BTW I wonder if there is anyway a local angling club or association could become involved in this development?

Red rag seen M B I can always loose a few lbs, but you try turning time back............ Shall we stop this before I have a coronary with mirth.......... besides we're off topic............. Fish catching & then quality me thinks Agread on all counts Martin

He who laughs first also laughs last as he is taking the pith, those that laugh second are always trying to catch up Martin

What a beauty, nice and fat, nicely protected from the sun and the fish aint arf bad either Sorry Trev couldn't resist Martin

Thanks guys Martin

Happy birthday Mark, have a goodun Martin

Thanks all for your birthday wishes. Wifee took me out for a meal at the cow which I paid for also had a lovely and very expensive bottle of wine paid for by......you guessed it Boys and grand children came around with chocolates and bottles of wine Uuumm a bit of a theme forming here with the wine Now sat at the pc with an Irish coffee and a whole bar of Toblerone. As for the others Mark I'll see you later Chris Yes Jim no chance but I will see you at the bar on Thursday Only jesting thanks all Martin
