Hi Keith, I'm up for the relay race and the three peaks! If Roger can do it, so can I (;>))

Re: Cowes
Yes, come on Nessa, give us all an update on Aggie
Re: Cowes
David, I will probably be taking the I14 down to Bosham as the jolly is in need of a bit of tlc before it gets another Roadford type thrashing...

Re: Shearwater 19th July
Thanks to all at Shearwater for a really great day! Must have been the most hilarious and wettest race ever, I finally had to retire because the Firefly was in danger of sinking from all the rainwater inside!!
