Is there a joining protocol?

[Athene V30]

Hi all

As you can see from my profile I live in Norfolk and keep my boat in Brightlingsea. I am involved with the East Coast Branch of the RNSA (as Sec 'cause no one else wants to! - not really) but want to join up with others at weekend and on trips as well.

Is there a protocol to being part of this forum?

Yep,

Be prepared to have fun, meet up with other forumites that also love all things nautical, cruise in company when you feel like it, and thats about it...

Welcome to the East Coast forum Peter.

I'm still seriously thinking of blasting over in May....knowing my luck i will arrive the wrong B/H weekend /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I did ask a certain very frequent posting forumite if they would like to crew....not sure i got a confirmation on that. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Shhh! If you have a blue ensign for God's sake keep quiet about it or they'll tear you to pieces! .

Should add, that one of the most popular East Coast get togethers is an annual run over to Oostende for the last Bank Holiday weekend in May.....

We also meet up fairly regularly throughout the summer, and many of us are regular visitors to Brightlingsea, West Mersea and the Blackwater.... keep an eye out on here for details....

I note your interest in a joining protocol.
Cascamite works well on Wood
Epoxy resin works well on Wood and GRP
Poylester Resin works well on GRP
Araldite works well on plastics and metals


But best of all Adnams, Duvel and Red Wine works for the East Coasters. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif


What amazed me about this post was that anyone could think it is some kind of private club.

This forum was setup as the very friendly East Coasters had started organising a few events on weekend and in weekday opubs, and this was a good place to spread the word.

We all met on the YBW forums in the last 2-3 years, and I believe its a runaway success. We all seem to do our own thing and are not tied to anything. If you turn up, good. If you dont, we will see you next time!

Hey, you dont even have to have a boat!

Awww shucks...there was me thinking I'd finally found a club that would have me as a member...

I'll have to shake out the red ensign from time to time! I'm told the blue matches my eyes better (on the way to meets anyway - perhaps the red is more suitable for the return legs!)

Look forward to a few jars once the spring is here.
