You should be OK. Parking is a bit of a problem because of severe building works all around the club at the moment. At least one of you may be able to park on the slip way if it's clear, but park well up if out at HT. Be prepared to possibly split the car / trailer (so take a wheel clamp & chocks).

Otherwise you'll have to find a space on the roads around - which should be OK.

You're lucky that there's no rowing events on that day! Then you have to work round them! & sometimes there are events in Island Gardens (like Walk for life last week!!)

BTW if you're planning to use the clubs toilets (or bar) then out of courtesy, you should email the club captain (john Roberts - top bloke) and ask him first.

Excellent pics. I havn't had chance to check ours yet.

Big thanks to Chris for all his effort, we had a top day. Couldnt stop grinning all day Also like to thank Chas Newens who were very helpfull when it came to launch and recover.

It was great to put some faces to names It was well worth the drive down from Mansfield. Hope to see you all again soon.

Thanks Chris.

Great day, hope lunch was good.

Horrified to see I have such a dirty bottom! That's going to be hard work when I eventually haul her out next month.

Hi to one and all!

Hope everybody had a good day out on The River.

Sorry to all who were expecting a table to be booked for lunch but I just didn't have the time or the correct numbers to book one. Will arrange one next time!!

I think that we should have some more digital photos later in the week so keep your eyes on the thread and I'll put a link up so you can get to them.

Chris

We are out nearly every other week so give me some dates and we can sort something.

Quick note to say thanks to all for a good day out. Its good to put faces to names and swap war stories.
Sorry if I missed anyone in the farewell's but I can report I did make it home in time -just.


Many thanks,
Tim and Adam.

Photo's

Just posted my pics from Saturday...click on Martins (Osprey Viper) link just above this post.

Meant to post them on this link but had too many windows open and got
confused..

I'll get the hang of this one day

Once again thanks to everyone for a great day..nice to see so many Ribs
in one place.

Fantastic experience..Chris I thought the Pub was great so no worries there
mate.

I recommend this trip to anyone..just look out for the waves under Blackfriars bridge....

Scott
