Hi Steve, Hope the tugs coming on OK ready for Wicksteed, Looks like there is only E/Port and Balne Moor
going to the tug towing finals, Stand a good chance of getting a place this year. If it's only second If E/Port
Don't enter twice. Ha Ha.

Which 'finals' is that at Wicksteed John?....The Nationals?
Or is it the thing that was formeryl arranged for Balne Moor later in September?

Hi there fellow tug operatives,
Just incase you thought we might miss out, we three from Wirral will be there.
After the course at Wirral should be a chance to have a sail.

The one with the big hat and small beard, should I bring the sun screen?

Good Idea Mike,You could have it as a mascot again if it rains, ( COME ON THE WIRRAL )

Cheers

John.

I don't know if there will be any free sailing afterwards - check with Steve Jones.

Martin,
If you hurry Steve Jones may be able to get you into the open navigation class.
PM me if you need a number or see propwash for mpba members.
