Anyone who wants to drop there boat off the day before before proceeding to the Tosh houseparty is welcome to do so BUT will need to make contact with me so that I can let them onto the site as we lock the gate to keep anglers and other undesirables out.

Not so much a houseparty as a gentle soiree, playing backgammon and sipping perry?!

If it is to be a gentle 'soiree' why is a 'a ton of Neurofen' needed for the Sunday morning?????

Looks to be ideal weather (famous last words) so we expect to see everyone here.  All the sea shore sailors need to remember that they need to do a restricted event to qualify for the Silver Tiller and where better than Banbury.

I have a young crew for you if you need  it. My son Harry has crewed Merlins but has little experience but would at least get you on the water.

While you were having fun at Banbury, we were busy supporting Mark Fuller & Chris Gould doing rather well in the BUSA Fleet Inland National Champs, taking Chambulls to 2nd overall. More details on the link below.
