More medway stuff going on than you can wave a stick at.

Have you heard anything about the Maidstone river festival this year Fred?

All sorts of rumours going around but the Maidstone River Festival Website remains firmly un-updated.
Am increasingly suspecting that it will be just a bunch of us going up over that weekend as per last year.Still managed to get 50 odd boats up there.

I've heard it's on but as you say nothing official seems to have been announced. We'll be there whatever and if its not on it will still be as enjoyable as last year.
 
Ooo......... look its the nice yellow/orange flag given to those who took the time and trouble and went to the considerable expence and effort to attend the practice for the "national" celebration AKA The Queens Jubilee which took place on the Thames.

Shame then that I was not in one of the of the upper Thames clubs which completely monopolised all the available slots and then distributed them among themselves to the exclusion of everyone outside the area.
To date no one has stood up and said " it was me that picked em",just a sotto voice mumble.....It was somebody else mate.Honest..... :)
 
I've only got them for the last 7 years or so (including the ones we made ourselves the year the tight buggers decided on charging for them, but omitting to tell anybody until the festival had finished)! Sadly the burgees from the years we attended prior to that were still on the boat when we sold her.

Interestingly enough we had the 2013 skippers guide delivered today, with the river festival advertised in it....
