Just had this email:

I am looking to find someone who has the time (and inclination) to strip and epoxy my Vintage Rocket number 1028. With a young family I simply don't have the hours in the day. I will take off all the parts, drop off and collect the rocket to anyone who is willing. The fee is negotiable as is the time scale (although having it for the summer months would be great) and either doing the work now or in the Autumn would be preferred. It is a clinker built ply wood construction with no significant alterations from the original so some TLC would be preferred.

Many thanks

Reading that suggests he's after a keen amateur rather than a professional to do the work, especially since the grapevine at Thames SC should suggest the usual professional alternatives.
