As you may have noticed I haven't really managed to get out on the water much over the last few months as I am trying to make sure I pass the year. So as soon as I finish exams to plan to get a lot of boating done. If you are free any of the dates below and fancy a paddle just post below. I dont care what sort of paddling as long as it is in some sort of boat and involves beer after. I will even do some swift water teaching if you want! so the dates are
sat 19th (late start as its suzie's 21st before hand) sun 20th mon21st tues 22nd wed 23rd tues 29th (poss) wed 30th thur 1st fri 2nd sat 3rd and sun4th
there is a possibility to book my services for overnighters depending on price and location!
any questions?

We have our first client. I dont need exact dates your committing to yet. And if anyone is keen I am spending a day in the store recatalouging every bit of gear and doing a bit of spring cleaning and shift around. Preferably someone who is good at wood work and has access to cheap wood!

Germany! Thats an nice place i guess? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) You see Ross, im still very curious about that boat because it is just a few days old and back in germany there is no class 2-3 river around the corner to try boats on. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It's not to important anyway. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Lets get back to "Book a Wood"

I have a couple of Jig saws, a power drill, and im good friends with the guy who runs the timber workshop in the achitecture building (lyle for those of you who know). This gives me access to all tools timber related, plus, i should imagine a good source of timber. Will speak to you when im back (around the 12th April).

Well knowing this, Alex, it seems that Rich already knew who his victim was? ;D

cool that all sounds great. I think last night we mentioned that either the 3rd or 4th would suit most. I think if we can get a crowd together then we can get loads done, here is roughly the list of things need doing. - Cataloging all the gear by age and number.
- Pictures of the boats at the top to sell them. (at last!)
- Removing selected beams from the rack so we can fit 4 boats on the side in each cubby hole.
- units for upstairs (I am not even going to try and describe it on here, I will show you in the pub one night, suzie did a pretty good scrible of it)
- mass clear out of any unwanted crap.
- drinking a reasonable quanity of beer whilst doing this (apart from power tool users!).
How is that sounding for a plan. The more people who can spare the time, the quicker it will be and the better it will look. No skill required, just a love of the smell of hard work sweat. ok?

Anna (sports union) has asked if she can be told about upcoming trips cause she wants to go on one. could you e-mail her with her options if you can fit her on one of your busily scheduled trips? not sure how such things work best but figured rich would be the man to know ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) :D heh heh layders man!
