Welcome Maver, your half way to belonging to a proper club and also half way to having a proper name Maverick aka Martin

Thanks for the report Richard Good to know whiting and cod are about. As soon as this weather lets us out at a weekend I will aim to fish the iow grounds Martin

I very rarely miss meetings and when I do I had to (or ere indoors did) pick one with a topic I would really like to learn more about Sorry I had to miss it Martin

Just like to echo the others, welcome back Martyn Martin

Happy Birthday Pete Martin

I would agree with the following: Use a braided strap and not wire. Wire will give no warning before breaking and if it does break the whiplash effect can cause serious injury. Braided straps are easier to see when fraying etc and will just fail without the whiplash effect with less chance of personal injury. Creating a towing point as described by Mike would be useful with as large a backing plate as large as you can get in to spread the weight/stress. Backing plate can be made of 6mm plus thick stainless/aluminium or as a last resort hardwood. 1 tip is to wipe off excess sealant with Acetone when still wet. Martin

Terry you lucky bl@@dy boy Have a good holiday and speak soon Martin

Glad to hear you are safe and well Reg. Martin

Rob The slate beds are a large area with a few features on it ie holes and the like. You will struggle to accurately find any mark more than a couple of miles off shore without a gps/plotter. I will happily give you a couple of marks there when you are kitted out, not a lot of point otherwise Martin

Thanks Charlie we will have to make sure we are out early doors then Why do they have to pick a week-end? Martin

Yes Ben 5th November Martin

Tom If you had a gas fired central heating system with trv's on all radiators (except by pass rad) and a wall mounted thermostat in either the hall or lounge our advice would be: so boiler doesn't constantly click on and off turn the wall mounted thermostat up to full. If you don't do this your boiler will stop supplying heating as soon as the room with the thermostat is up to temperature meaning other areas of the house maybe left cold. You then rely on your trv's to regulate individual room temperatures. . If you do this you must remember to keep doors closed or you will be heating all areas at the temperature you have set on your highest set trv. Your boiler once up to temperature is only topping up the heat loss in the water temperature. Once the rooms are up to temperature the boiler will cut in and out keeping your central heating water heat topped up. There maybe a temperature setting on the boiler that you may be able to turn down slightly Also remember your boiler if heating up your hot water supply you might just as well heat up your radiators as this will take very little extra energy I guess an oil fired system works in a similar way If you need anything clarifying give us a call Martin

Thought you'd been a little quite lately.....totally unlike you Martin

Done Martin
