North West RIBsters
Hi Gary
I don't have a list of attendees but I have been contacted for details from people from Blackpool, North Wales and Wolverhampton who tell me they wish to attend. The event is proceeding as planned. Hope we see you there.

North West Ribsters
A big thanks to Kevin for arranging last nights get together.
Great slide show and commentary on a fascinating cruise/expedition.
Nice to meet fellow minded folk (even though they have bigger, newer and faster ribs than mine!)
There seems to be a good number of interested people in the area who want to get out and about in the North West so this summer should provide opportunities for some good cruises and social events.
I look forward to the next meeting wherever it is.
North West Ribsters are back on the map.
Cheers
Ian

Yep North West ribsteres are back on the Map for sure.
It was a great Talk and Thanks Kevin, I can tell its going to be a good laugh.
I cant wait till the next one.
Thanks very much and a big hello to all who were there,I made the fatal mistake of talking Cabin Ribs so all sence went out the window.
So Next time nobody mention the word Cabin Ribs to me, and you may get some sence out of me.There again maybe not?
Thanks to all for a great night

Thanks
Thank you for travelling so far:
Blackpool
Preston
Great Harwood
Bury
Stockport
Woverhampton
West Midlands
Apologies fra': IOM
Would have posted sooner but, but only just found the 'space'!
Thanks to all you guys and of course your 'gals'.
Perhaps have a photo competition next, from your RIB trips. With a couple of catagories - and with a prize for each. What do you think?
Kevin

Many thanks to Kevin for a great night.
It was nice to put names to faces and meet a few new ones.
Lets hope this is the start of making the north the place to be and not the south coast (we I can hope).
A few ideas on possible ways forward.
a) A North West Ribsters web site
b) A e-mail list of people so we can send round planned trips etc
c) Compile a list of events/trips people are doing and are happy for others to join them, either on the web ,e-mail or even news letter.
For me (once I get my RIB ) the next step is to get people out on the water toghther. Its nice to talk about things but lets get doing some.
Whats other peoples thoughts ?.
Regards Gary

Thanks for your comments and ideas. Some which I think will be worth following thro. We have already a NW RIBsters logo and I will set-up a website for the group at: www.NWribsters.co.uk
I can publish NW Events and contact emails and also provide a news letter submit system. Will email when I have something to view.
Kind Regards

If you want I'd be happy to set up a separate NW Ribsters forum here. It would only take a few minutes -- you could even have your own moderators.

I feel it better to keep away from a seperate forum as it will keep the group and the messages open to everyone if it isn't regionalised. It could end up with forums for different regions which would marginalise some people instead of 'spreading the word'. Better to keep it on an open forum basis as now, which by the way is brilliant.
The title of the 'Thread' alone can indicate to all if it is North West related.
Just my thoughts
Ian

nw ribsters group
firstly belated apologies to Kevin for not being there thurs night (we had spent most of that very nice sunny day on the mersey doing a boat test on a twin engined rib - tuff job but someone has to do it! and then had a NW training group meeting at night). Please put me on the list for a NW group but I would prefer the forum to remain open - after all I tow the boats down to the solent (just to go for a meal at the Folly!!), wales, scotland etc and I wouldn't like to feel excluded from cruises/events in those locations - in the same way I would hope those from elsewhere would feel welcome to join a NW group event if they wanted to tow oop north!
United we stand divided we fall etc etc
Dave

NWR
We discussed IOM at last weeks meeting also possible Eire, Anglesey and Cardigan Bay cruises. May even get some meetings arranged in North Wales.
Keep an eye out for details or let Kevin have your e-mail and he will advise the next happening.
Cheers
Ian

As the next meeting is scheduled for June, I think now is the time to plan a cruise! North West Ribsters (+ anyone else who fancies it) to Isle of Man to meet up with like minded people from the island.
Never having arranged a cruise before I am looking for someone to take up the challenge. Failing that I'll give it a go.
June 28/29 doesn't clash with anything that I know of. Let me know if you are interested. The departure point etc. can be determined when it's known who is going.
WhitingIOM (sorry don't know your name), I am sure a return visit to the mainland can be arranged.
Ged, are you game?
Cheers
Ian

Sounds great idea,
If we can bum a ride,there are two of us and we will pay half the ex,s if there are any seats going.
You could keep your trailers on our bit of spare land if you want,if your launching from Nott end 20mins away or Skipool 3mins or Wardleys 8mins away.
This facility is open to who evere wants to use it.
Theres enough space for maybe 8 trailers,or of your leaving your boat for a wk prior,then maybe 4/5 boats.

Iom Trip
28 & 29 June is perfect.
That's the date of Douglas Bay YC regatta, so there will definitely be a band and food on in the club on Saturday night.
Pontoon berths may be at a premium, but I'm sure that it will be possible to raft up in the Inner Harbour.
Can't guarantee the weather, but I could look into B & B for you if you like?

High water Douglas is 11:20am BST on Sat 28 June, so you can get in and out of inner harbour from 9:30am (approx) to 1:30pm.
Nice lie in on Sunday 29 June - HW is midday so you could leave any time after 10am up until 2pm.
If some of you wanted to go for it on Friday night, HW is 23:40 so you could probably get in at about 10pm (still light in these Northern latitudes at that time of year), and have time for a few sherbets in the YC!
Jon
