Fancy a FREE trip on a Tall Ship? With the Tall Ship Sailing Trust

[AlJones]

I am being naughty, put this on the lounge earlier and then read the comment about JST being pulled and put on here instead, never thought of putting this on here! The Wombat that I am!!!!! ( No need to agree /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Sorry if your reading it for the seconed time!

I must state at the start

I HAVE NO COMMERCIAL INTEREST IN THIS

I received an e-mail today from a very good friend who has alot to do with the Tall Ship Trust, and this is a genuine offer.

And I quote:

Due to a small crew we are in danger of cancelling a voyage next week:

This is aboard the British Tall Ship 'Stavros S Niarhos'
SSN258

From Majorca to Majorca
Departing: SUN 29th Oct 2006
Returning: SUN 5th Nov 2006
Age group: 18-75

THATS THIS SUNDAY TO NEXT SUNDAY

This has never happened before and to prevent it happening we are offering FREE BERTHS to anyone who can get out there THIS SUNDAY!!!!!

So all you will need to pay for are flights to Majorca and insurance.

PM me for contact details.

I say again, I have no commercial interest in this company, only that a close friend is part of the charity.

PS: I've just been asked, why contact me? It's because I cannot place, and will not place a phone number on here.

By the way it is the Tall Ships Youth (not Sailing) Trust (just to be pedantic).

They mention this special offer on their website www.tallships.org, on the message board at http://www.tallships.org/messages2.asp?id=2628,
but they also say that you have to sign up by 'close of play' (their words) today (Thursday) - hence probably a bit too late now (as it is just gone 2000 hrs BST in UK).

But they also have other good offers for later voyages - I have sailed with them a few times in the Caribbean, and had an excellent time! (Hope this is not considered to be blatant advertising!)

Well put Sir!

My e-mail that I received states by close of play Friday morning at the latest. Chinese whispers eh?

This is a free trip, so I think it's just asking if anyone wants to go sailing!

This is a bit close to the mark, bit delicate at the moment.
