Glad it was a good day, would have liked to come down, but couldn't move other commitments.
Did get to see the rugby though. Good game and even better result 
I didn't realise yuo were trying to set a record for the number of people to get into a SR!
Well done to all

Thank you all. What a great day!

I personally think that there is a fine line between being responsible, having common sense and having fun safely.
I'm sorry if these comments upset or ruffle a few feathers but this is the way I looked at this particular situation

Home now and very tired 
What a fantastic day and thanks to everyone who came along, a special thanks to Lisa from Macmillan who gave up her Sunny Sunday with her family to support us
Thanks so much to all the build team, I think we all made except for Jumpin Jack who was on a shout, missed you dude but we'll catch up soon
The furthest traveled Ribnet member was from the Falklands 
Hats off to Matt h, AJ and Peter M who came straight from Calshot via the Needles, Ventnor and Bembridge
Thanks for all your messages and wishes of good luck
Skipper Marky, was a dude for giving up his day to run rib rides
Dry Run, you are awesome, you have been so great in having us today and thank you for arranging the Pig Roast. I really enjoyed seeing the boat lowered in off the folks.
It was an amazing turn out, must have seen about a 100 of you at different times of the day and thats without people passing by.
Took loads of pics but these five sums the day up quite well for me.
I would love to see your pics too
Thanks Again
Alex

I forgot to mention that the £600 raised today will have £150 Gift Aid added to it, so that's a total of £750
And thats a great result and I'm glad you got to see the boat too.
Christopher and his wife came along with the guys who fitted the tubes and their families too. I got them to sign the spare screen as they are all part of the build team and I have to say that they were honoured

Good to see everyone in fine form, the boat is looking great (everybody was drawn to stroking the tube material!), and a lovely location. The weather was a real bonus too!
Special mention to the Bridge Tavern for the hospitality, and Dry Run who was working hard on the day under close scrutiny of the watching crowds.
Photos to follow later.
