Scuttlebutt to Scuttlebutt

[PeteCooper]

I e-mailed the National Water Sports Centre to check that they were happy for us to arrive on Friday the 25th of April and here is the response:

Peter

We welcome your visit on Friday 25th April and shall make sure the Scuttlebutt Bar is open and stocked!!

Regards

So there shouldn't be any problems there.
Should I ask them to make sure that they have plenty orange juice and tea or coffee? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Decaf would be great thanks.... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Sans Bateau]

Sugar free decaf Coke?

 

[FullCircle]

A little water to hand would be good.


I have a cask strength Malt that benefits from a little dilution.

 

[Spyro]

Nice one Pete. Do they do food as well?

 

[PeteCooper]

I don't think that they do food, but I have a vague idea that the Indian takeaway in Millport will deliver there.

 

[Gordonmc]

Is there a master plan somewhere I could glean some info from.
I am torn between coming down to Cumbrae or waiting for youz lot to come North. Have you fixed on Tarbert?
Is NWSC pontoons/moorings/hook?

 

[PeteCooper]

I'm guessing that NWSC means National Water Sports Centre, in which case I can say that it is a free pontoon mooring. Tarbert is the preferred choice for Saturday, with Portavadie as a backup if Tarbert is too full.

 

[FullCircle]

As a robust eater, whats the Friday evening plan Pete?

 

[PeteCooper]

The Friday plan is to collect you assorted sassenachs from Glasgow airport. We will then call at Kip to deposit bags and any other gear on Capricious and Amaranthe. We then head to chateau Cooper where my staff, or more likely me, will have prepared a buffet fit for kings(or queens). Having gorged ourselves so that we can hardly walk we then head back to Kip, it's only 5 mins away, and cast off for distant lands.

 

[Billjratt]

OK, so there's a group from Kip. Have the Ardrossan/Troon/Largs peeps published any arrangements, or is there no need. Largs may be a good meeting place as it's nearest to the bar.

FC told you I starved him, didn't he?

 

[Sgeir]

Is his boat called FC, or is that just his nickname?

 

[machurley22]

There's no need for that kind of talk.

 

[FullCircle]

<<<<FC told you I starved him, didn't he?>>>


Certainly not Dave, just ensuring that the plan involves keeping the fuel levels. No need to be paranoid, or even parahandy!

It must be said, you provided the finest Lorne sausage i have ever tasted....even at 1 in the morning.

 

[AntarcticPilot]

I hope that staff bit doesn't mean me!

 

[Alistairr]

Pete, Thanks for the very kind offer of me joining you for the weekend, I'd love to join you, but then SWMBO reminded me that we actually fly out to Lanzarote the day before for our first family holiday!! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Cheers

Al.
