Shall be picking up 3413 from P&B next week so we will definately be there.  Had to miss Salcombe and Aldburgh (sorry Antony) thanks to windy Bristol, but new mast and boom (repaired) in and ready to go soon!
One important question...will the bar be open Friday night if we make the trek up after work?

Team Custard will be there for a rumble in the crumble8)

[Jane Wade]

Hello
Kevin and I will be there in 3512 along with my support team - Dave, Imogen and Harriet.  Any idea on where we can all stay?

There's a separate vintage thread already going and so far 4 vintage boats (us, Chadders, Tim Gatti and Paul Turner) are coming to play.
We will be arriving, hot foot from the Lake District, on the Friday night.  Looking forward to it!
Out of interest, what's the entry fee?

[Steve (Guest)]

Thanks for the responses.
Simon, the bar will be open on Friday evening. We are planning to open the club by 7pm unless anyone lets us know they will be arriving earlier.
Angus, not to sure what you're going on about, must be some northern fighting talk, but we're looking forward to seeing you anyway.
Jane, Kevin had already pointed out a shortage of an accommodation list with the NOR. Below is copied an initial list of accommodation. A full list will be posted in the next day or so. The list is ordered in approximate distance from the club. Prices cover the whole range.
Roly Mo, Good to see the support from the Vintage wing. There is a lone vintage 12 at North Lincs SC who visited us last season for an even. I will try to make contact to see if he'll come. The entry fee will be £20 per boat. Jenny has already mentioned the early arrival straight from holiday. If it's before 7pm let us know.
Regards,
Steve

The accommodation list didn't paste too well from Word.  Here it is again hopefully more readable.

[THG]

Is camping allowed at the club? Or can you recommend any local sites?

[Steve (Guest)]

THG, Camping is allowed in the club grounds Friday and Saturday nights if you wish.

Hello Steve
I am contemplating doing this one in N443 or 1719 then going on to the Naburn Paddle meeting.  I really do not want to tow back to Colchester so wonder if any of your members would let me park a boat on their front lawn and I can then pick it up on the way to Naburn.  Also, and this is the big one, have you any spare crews knocking around?
 
Jonathan

[Steve (Guest)]

Johnathan,
There may be a couple of options. One might be to leave the boat at the club and pick it up from there the following Saturday. Another could be to leave it at my house. On the way up to Naburn there probably isn't that much difference in journey time, but on your way home after Hykeham it would add a bit to the journey as we are about 20 minutes in the wrong direction. However I could probably bring it here for you to save you the journey. What time of day would you be passing through on the Saturday on your way to Naburn, it's abour 2 hours from here to Naburn?
On the crew front we have a few possibilities. I will put the feelers out.

Sorry that was me trying to be clever again, maybe I should give it up. Rumble is a slang term for a fight, and where would you find custard but in a crumble, and way back in days of yore a little known boxer called Mohammed Ali  fought either Joe foreman or Joe frazier in African and the Journalists coined the phrase rumble in the jungle. you'll just have to humour me:

[Steve (Guest)]

Angus,
I guessed the bit about the rumble in the jungle, which I believe was Ali vs George Foreman, but where does the crumble and custard come into it.

Regards,

Steve

 You key piece of info you are missing is the sight of Angus and Rohan's newly refurbished boat and team T-shirts.  The boat is yellow with big teeth and is called Killer Custard!  Beware if your boat looks like rhubarb, apple or anything else that goes with crumble or sponge.
Looking forward to Hykeham.
Mark

We'll be bringing N2531, and are planning to camp.
