Someone overtook me on the A34 that morning towing a blue rib as well. Coincidence?

Right then you lot!

If we can break £8k on this thread I will do everything I can to move this onto £10k and you have my word on that as I have an idea

And it is a great idea!

Yeah, I always wanted one of those big cardboard cheques

All the cheques were sent to Macmillan last week with a covering letter that explains what we have done and how we did it. Unfortunately our Macmillan fund-raising Manager left her job to go on a long sailing trip just before our event and she has not been replaced as yet.

I've been in contact with Macmillan just to make sure that our Justgiving page and our cheques all get counted in the same pot at the Macmillan end.

I also had £10 from Landlord's Mother-in-law so have have put the tenner in my pocket and paid the £10 into our Justgiving account.

So I reckon we are all square, just waiting for a few more donations (it can be quite hard collecting the money) but things look just about wrapped up...

Just waiting to hear back from Macmillan Cancer Support to make sure everything went in there end ok

Great news Don't let them get away

[Jizm]

I have had a long conversation with Simon Everett who is trying to write an article for a magazine regarding the round IOW. He needs full names (first and Surnames) for this as it will look a bit silly saying things like 'here is Bob on his boat' etc. Here is a list of the the boats and people he has pictures of so please PM me or email me the info to help the article go ahead. Even if your boat is not below or there is no pic on Page 80 of this thread he would still like to hear from you. Boat type, name, crew and skipper full names and maybe an extra line to two would be great.
PM or email.
