Hi Malcolm, is that the 1st or the last bank holiday in August...cheers mate............I have a sneaky suspicion that a certain gentleman from the prairie provinces might be in some need of sunshine after the winter he has had, and maybe paying a visit after what he said to me on the phone last night........I hope so!! very much.


any more shows guys............when is New Brighton sail this year...any members know.


cheers, neil.
