great white

Looks good and should attract a lot of interest from outside the club One small point it mentions our open comp is usually in November next to the poster for it in June.

Happy Birthday Sam Look forward to coming out to the sticks to see you later, hope that you are having a good day

Sounds like a great day even at Arvor speed Nige Good luck with hour engine mate.

4.3 m Is that going to make it bridge lifts only? I am sure that will rapidly become a pain. Nice looking boat Martin, have you looked at the Port of Poole and Poole Quay options?

Talk about changing the tone of the thread From glass half full to half empty in a few words

I did my bit Full english breakfast in the hotel this morning before the first session at the BMF conferance.

I think its important to say that while this is a good idea, lets not get carried away Great to see a list of species that Members should be asked to treat as catch and release only. But as long as they are C&R, I would not like to see that extended to what can be recorded by Members for fish of the month or other Club species comps. Charlie

Ah the smell of styrene on a warm sunny day, memories (wish I could say fond ones) Remember to wear plenty of masks and drink plenty of milk Pushing on Adam, well done (Well done Rob as well, your first taste of GRP) Charlie

Welcome Nick Glad to see that you have sneaked out of the shadows

I think that you boys owe me a pint or a nice fat turbot. Even though I can not make it in May, [which I am gutted about, but have another Island to visit] I have just phoned my contact at Mainbrayce for concession on the water Taxi and Fuel. They have agreed to do both, you just need to let them know before fuelling or when calling the TAXI that you are with the PBSBAC Club They are aware that you may not all go over at the same time, in fact the offer will extend through the season. The fuel is a great deal, Diesel is usually £0.95 per ltr, you will get it at the fisherman's rate of £0.79/ltr. Hope that helps guys Charlie

As some of you may know I have a bit of a shoulder problem, constant aches and not as flexible as it should be. This winters maintenance has been more of a chore than usual, but the boys have been a great help Dans training has come in very usefull. With my Volvo D4 and drive leg He removed the leg for bellows changes, has sorted the trim and tilt motor out, removed and reinstalled the starter motor (not an easy task with the limited space around Alfresco, s engine) helped me clean out and replace the charge air and fuel coolers. Today he helped strip down the DPH drive in situ to replace all of the water and oil seals, before we replaced the oil and rebuilt the drive. If anyone needs a hand on maintenance tasks I am sure they could do worse than ask the boys for a price. Sam is saving for a deposit and Dan is busy doing up his first property, so they may welcome the income. Charlie

Be careful what you apply over it You may just trap the moisture in and make it worse
