Room for one more - please!

[Tina Way]

Unfortunately and disappointingly, i'm afraid I can no longer come along.
Hope everybody enjoys.

[Les Goodall]

It transpires that I am now available for this row and would very much like to be considered for a place.

The forecast for Saturday is grey but dry with light winds so it looks as though we will have a great row.
The list is now:
Me
Miles
Alison B
Mark S
Rachel
Lesley
Michael
Matt
Andrew B
Alan
Bobby
Nigel
Mo
Heather
Tom
Sue
Peter
Dave
Jenny
Marilyn
Jacky
Diane
Barry
Les
Which I make 24 people, so we can take ALL the boats. The oars for Gladys are being worked on at the moment but will be ready by the end of the week, apparently. We will need to get the Claydons out of the water earlier in the week, possibly after the mid-week row.
We need three or four tow cars - who can do this?
The provisional itinerary is:
0800 Meet boat park
0930 Depart Langstone
1100 Arrive Newhaven Marina, launch boats
1500 Depart Newhaven
1700 Arrive Langstone

Chris,  I appreciate that you might be maxed out now on numbers,  but Frances and I would like top attend this.  Happy to be told to go away,  but we're can accommodate two passengers in each clayton.

[Sue Loveridge]

Peter could tow if needed. Sue

OK to tow Gladys. (That saves me having to make up trailer lighting board mounts!)(and extension leads ).

That means I have 3 seats available in the Volvo, if anyone needs a lift.

Note:- with the recent weather (wind, swell, rain) and spring tides (HW at Newhaven 1346, 7.0m, range 6.5m) I would advise bringing (and using) pfd's. There may well be more debris in the water than usual so, even though there are no current EA flood warnings, better safe than sorry. The swell generated in the last few days may well dictate how far out of the harbour we can safely go to see the cliffs of Beachy Head.

[Chris Partridge]

That’s fine Mark. Happy to have you and Frances along.

[Alison b]

Hi Chris
Would it be ok if Heather and I go direct to Newhaven Marina for 11am to help launch the boats please  ?
Thanks
Alison

[Rachel]

Hi all, I have room for 6 passengers in the van if anyone would like a lift. Going to reserve 2 spaces for Marilyn and Jacky so that leaves 4 more ....
Rachel

[Chris Partridge]

That’s fine, Alison, though you may have to buy the organiser beer for the privilege...

[Chris Partridge]

Michele at NGRC has been in touch to say we will be mooring at Lewes Rowing Club and going to the Snowdrop Inn close by. Independently run, lots of good ale, veggie options available (according to their website, anyway.)

[Alison b]

Oh of course....that goes without saying  !
So I'm guessing it's a pub lunch then at the Snowdrop  ?
Not a picnic...which sounds fabulous   !

[michael]

Rachel,

Yes please for a lift for Lesley and I if you have room, thanks Michael

Rachel. Yes please for a lift. Tom

[Rachel]

Hi Chris. Do you need Peter to tow please?

[Rachel]

Hi all, so far for lifts I have Marilyn,Jackie,Tom,Sue and Peter ( emailed at 11.25am ) if Peter isn't needed to tow and Steve if anyone drops out of the row so he can squeeze in. There are only 6 seats so Michael and Lesley you are first reserves at the moment.

[Rachel]

Chris, Matt has asked me to post to say he can't make it so could Steve have his space please?
Rachel

[Chris Partridge]

Haven’t heard from Matt, but that seems OK. Miles can’t come either.

[Rachel]

Thanks Chris. Could you confitm who the towers are please so that I know if Sue and Peter are coming in the van
Thanks
