Thanks for that,with close observation you well find a large number of people with wry smiles on their faces and a desperate wish to get it all over with and get inside for dinner

Am I missing something? Decorated boat - check. Sunny day - check. Best bib & tucker - check. I think it would be a shame if yet another tradition was ended, just to appease a minority (again). Each to your own - it doesn't particularly float my boat - geddit, but I would be delighted to see them chug past whilst I was fiddle-faddling about on the river and give them a smile & a wave.

And if they have worked hard for their club (probably mainly unthanked uncredited) and now command a bit of respect and a fancy title - hurrah to that! I am more than happy to show a bit of respect to club officials, more so than to a bunch of faux 'ladyships, sirs & lords' given titles for sweet FA, other than filling the coffers of the latest political charlatans!

I sometimes think there are a lot of miseries on this forum

Oldgit took monstrous liberties in cropping my original pic which shows what a superb location RCC have just below Rochester Castle.

I'm actually pleased that they are all in one place, If it could be arranged to have Morris Dancers there as well it would make it a worthwhile place to avoid.

Are they wearing old fender socks?
Or, perhaps, to get back to the OP, re-cycled blazers etc??
