David Schweizer 550 Report post #1 Posted June 7 With the rally only two weeks away, no one has yet posted a list of boats which they know will be attending. Alan fincher usually does the honours, but nothing has appeared so far. does anyone have a list which they are willing to post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty40s 1,649 Report post #2 Posted June 7 I think the list of boats will be longer than the list of cars in the car park at £20 a shot. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll be travelling up with Cyprus - so that's two. I see the car parking tickets are limited to one per boat this year.🙁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob-M 177 Report post #4 Posted June 7 Good job we are not attending this year then as we normally have two or three volunteers on the boat per day each with their own car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan fincher usually does the honours, but nothing has appeared so far. does anyone have a list which they are willing to post I'm not exactly sure how I would do tat David, as I have little more idea what boats may be there than anybody else! I have never known the organisers post a list of those booked in, so it is very much a case of turn up and see who is there. We hope to have both ours there, and I noted Chertsey has moved up there, so for starters it seems we have Badger Chertsey Cyprus Flamingo Hampton Sickle However the organisers are claiming over 80 "historics", so the list is still missing at least 74!

I think Jules and Richard were on their way back to Stoke Bruerne, but it would be unusual for them not to be at Braunston, I agree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what Facebook sems to say, so if Towcester was also towing I'm not sure which butty that would have had. It does appear, as stated, they are off to load, rather than heading direrctly for the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
