River Ouse Rally

Post by Scandal »

Had a brilliant couple of days on this lovely river going through the centre of York seeing all the great old buildings from the water and on through gentle countryside all in glorious sunshine. Very easy to use slipway, exclusive pontoons, over twenty sat down together for dinner on Saturday night at a very picturesque riverside pub.

Thanks very much to Paul who set it all up and took care of everything, it was great. :thumbsup:

Al, It was a pleasure to see you and everyone on the water, two days of glorious sunshine to boot.
We certainly gave a good show to the other river folk, even the odd fisherman gave us a wave :D

Big thanks to Gary for his recovery skills, your the man.

Hope we can do this again in 2014.

All the best, Paul.

Big thanks to Paul for organising sat , was really good to see old and new faces enjoying my home city your all very welcome, nursed my old girl after 2 year sleep in the shed she drank quite a bit of water, but the engine ran like a sewing machine, her thirst was beginning to quenched after a couple of hours . those of you who partook of the laughing water at the kings arms may recall a very nice Fairline squadron 57 moored just behind us all well shock ,horror it burned and sank on sat night, nothing to do with us of course, see York press for details .
all the best to everyone who made the journey to York hope to see you and more next time
regards David :drink: :drink: :drink: :wot: :help:

Where would we be without bilge pumps heh David?

I Must just say a big thank you to Chris Harris who pushed my request for a york meet and for supporting "up north" events.

Yes we had a look over what was left of the Fairline on Sunday, I just hope he had it well insured because there was not much left.
