The EA are dropping their backslapping glossy magazine to save money.
Now I wonder where they got a cracking idea like that from... ?

Thats a shame always looked forward to my copy :)
Neat little article in todays edition, a step by step guide for freshwater adventurers to encourage them round to the salty bit at Southend and up to Teddington to take advantage of the " free" river licence .
Something more relevant to me were the details about the new facilities down in Rye ,making it worth thinking about as an alternative to Ramsgate.It also contains info on all the improvements on the Medway reagrding new moorings etc which will be useful to non interweb boaters.
Our version will be missed down here !

Seeing that it's of interest to the Less Fortunate, I wonder if EA could / would prepare an electronic replacement??

Come to think of it, Howard would be an excellent persion to maintain a sort of river Blog to while away the midnight hour.

PDFs of the various versions of the mag were available on the EA website,problem is that during my very rigorous interrogations of boaters at various locks......

100 % of them were over the age of 95 and 101% of them did not know what the hell a computor was,but however 500% could actually read and were perfectly happy with that medium:)

Ha ha.....brilliant!!!!!!!

If you lot consider yourselves my friends I am indeed grateful that you are not my enemies :D

I have yet to be persuaded to attend the TVR ....... I may even feel obliged to invite No Regrets to join me at some alternative venue........hmmmmm....maybe not.....

PS Have you noticed that Hog Roast is off the menu?
 
Oh, you can't miss the TVR. Yes, I spotted the Hog roast has gone and wondered why.
Alex will not be there, he has a Duke of Edinburgh award practice expedition that weekend, but Marian & I are hoping to attend and Sarah-Jane may come too if she can spare the time.

If you don't turn up I will have to burn diesel to get back home!

Ha, bloody cheek, I know what a computer (note correct spelling here!) was.

I've still got my school one.

Now, you slide 6 beads along the wire on the first line............
3 along on the second.............
5 on the third..........
and......errr.....
Oh bugger, I've forgotten what the question was

You've got to bring No Regrets to the TVR, we want to see him WIN something.

No Hog Roast this year, run out of pigs!
 
We're aiming for the top this year!

Failing a win at the boat handling, I'm going to win the light show.

A gallon of patrol and a match should secure a victory!

Think I may have something to say about that, last I heard there were two skippers looking for me to crew for them, obviously no good crew around this year!

Must have a word with the mooring marshall and make sure I'm nowhere near No Regrets
