    No worries Mike, I'll make sure we have a minutes silence for Jim and that he's got enough tissues for the tears. Maybe being a Wiganer he will bring some pies!
        Cheers guys n gals.

I'll be there! Not sure who or what with mind as I'm not in the Land Rover (gearbox decided it didn't want to play anymore in the middle lane of the M62 on Sunday gone)!

 See you all there.

    Hi John,
          From the Southport crew Jim,Steve and Faz thanks again for a great day with an extra thank you to girls in the kitchen for keeping us fed and watered. We all really enjoyed the day although I'm not sure about Jim when I had his boat sideways and listing heavily being dragged by the tow! he'll have to get a proper towing tug with a bit of power (well lots more really). Hopefully next meeting my Portgarth will ready and I won't have to scrounge Steves Norton cross again. Looking forward to next months regatta see you all then.
       Kind regards,
              Faz. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
