Sorry Martin but we will not be able to make this rally now.
We are on our way back from Spain and have some major problems to sort out on our return.
We were really looking forward to meeting you both again but hopefully will do one day.

Good morning Martin,

I hope that you are both well, unfortunately somethings cropped up, that means I have to be at home the week of the 'vintage' rally, so I have to cancel my much looked forward to visit to Shrewsbury,

As you know since first visiting Shrewsbury for your ' messing about on the river ' rally, its become one of my favourite places so i'll really miss it,

Best regards,

Ken.

Oh NO Ken I feel your pain

Maybe you could promote this meet as having easy access to the river for canoes and paddle boards martin

Absolutely Mitzimad

You have done it for me now

Just crossing the channel on way back home and waiting for a reply from a company that offers Canoe, Kayak and SUP hire and tuition from the Showground, hopefully they will do a canoe trip like we have done before, if not I and sure the guys we used last time will do it but you are right we need some more volunteers

We are going to be parked in and around the Arena so that Robin meanders can set up his sound gear so we will be a little further away from the water than previously but yes anybody who wants to bring their own craft can do so and we can have a bit of a come and try it session.

 

[Miggs]

We would be interested in a spot with hookup if any left. Might not be able to do every day though if that is OK.
Doug & Karen.

Hi Miggs

That is fine I will put you on the list, have you seen post #182 about payment,

And are you up for a bit of canoeing?

 

[funflair]

I have had a reply from the watersports people re the Canoeing from Shrewsbury, they are offering a trip from the showground downstream which is different to previous years when we have done Montford Bridge and finished at the showground.

The first part is a loop around the town so you see Shrewsbury from a different angle, then the weir oh they say we have to get out and walk around it the guys from the hire place will be there to assist and get everybody around safely, we then make our own way downstream through the meanders of the river Severn as it travels through fields and countryside, we will have a choice of pick up points at either 9.5 miles or 12.5 miles, don't worry it's all downhill so easy enough.

I don't know about minimum numbers yet but need to see if we can get any more takers

 

[tonka]

FYI..

All paid up... Jan just called me...

 

[Beemobile]

Is there still room on this one or would it be the reserve list, please.

 

[funflair]

Loads of room “come on down” do you want to come canoeing?

Martin

When considering numbers, Hilary and I will not take up the canoeing offer. One of us is not a competent swimmer and doesn't like the water, and the other has terrible balance.

A short river cruise on a larger vessel is about as far as we would get.

Well Robin and Hilary, being a swimmer is not a pre requisite of the canoeing trip, people don’t get wet on my trips,

Usually.

You mention a larger vessel and of course there is the Sabrina boat if anybody fancies a more sedate river experience, we could try for a block booking or people could just do their own thing, what does everyone think ?

Day Trips

IMPORTANT NOTICES: Same day online bookings can only be made for 1 hours in advance. If you would like to sail sooner, please call the office to reserve your seats on 01743 369 741 or you can turn up to the boat and pay onboard if they still have availability once

Up for that too - either in addition to kayak or as an alternative.
How long is the kayak excursion? Thinking about Kerry...

We have a choice of 9.5 miles or 12.5 miles, personally I think 9.5 will be enough and I guess we would be out about 4 hours, is Kerry coming or are you looking for a dog sitter?

I think if Kerry came, I'd be lucky to do 9.5 feet .
So, yes I'd need someone to take her for a quick toilet break.
Perhaps I should opt out.
