Just a few cables from Boulters Lock

When Byron and I first mooted the get together at his gaff on 1st Feb, we sort of thought it would be an opportunity for Thames based boaters to get together for a natter etc. In the event, the vast majority of those coming can hardly be called Thames boaters. most coming from farther afield and with boats on the East and South coasts, Severn etc.
So where are the Thames Boaters? Are they just unsociable? A dying breed?
We know theres lots of folks here with boats on the Thames so what do we need to do to flush them out?

We're Thames and we're in...

B1 are you still on for your audio visual presentation "Greenhouses on the Thames" and is Byron still going to do his song and dance routine and remineses of ebay on line auctions through the years ?

Looking forword to it all

Nick

One day I might just buy a dingy.....

They are probably tucked in the Club House sipping G & T's.

A bit of sun or the offer of alchohol would flush me out, but like most Thames boaters at this time of year, the boat is sitting high and dry in my garden at the moment.

.....And mines on the Hamble. Bringing a boat is optional. Just go by car.

I will be a Thames boater from mid February/March. Being transferred from sunny Devon to the big city. Looking for moorings. Nowt at St Kats, ditto South Dock, and Lime BAsin. Might get lucky at Gallions Point... Anyone can suggest anywhere else for 44 foot rag-pot, feel free to drop me a line!

Might see you at next year's.

Regards,

Nick
