Spammer .

Why?

Not sure I understand?
Why would something with reference to ATYC be deemed Spam?

Just 60 places for motorboats and 300 for rowers. Am I reading this right?

I think, to be fair, it would be better if the 60 were identified as 'cruisers' rather than 'motor boats'. After all, NB's, Barges and most of the historics are also motor boats as well.

Yes, mostly traditional rowing craft like this one:

Numbers seem sensible to me,in that about 20 or so more boats in the "Tupperware" fleet than on the practice,would appear to pretty managable........
SarahT is keeping her bollards crossed
Do we know when the lucky dip is to take place ?

Do we know when the lucky dip is to take place ?

The Pageant Coordinator will advise all vessels whether they have been selected or not by 31st Dec.

[Captain Coochie]

Thats called a double spammy

Out of interest by pure chance I've just worked on 2 boats that are invited to the parade, a 1958 staniland and a broom 50, all sounds very interesting I hope to find the time to be there to see all.

 

[oldgit]

Paul,presume they have actually got stuff in writing err.. (email ?) as have several contacts who have yet more chums awaiting a verdict and no sign of any info anywhere from anyone as yet ?
Would have also expected the "thanks but no thanks" communications to have gone out at same time.

 

[volvopaul]

The Staniland has invite for sure as he is busy fitting all the safety gear and has had to add the services of a skipper thats familiar with the tidal Thames.

The broom 50 im told has been asked to drive martin broom and some lord leutenant about.

 

[oldgit]

Makes sense,as the officers will no doubt get their orders long before us "other ranks" in the Tupperware fleet .?
