Message from Andy GD1MIP

Wanted people for a trip to a UK rally. I have a 7 seter minibus and intend to take a trip to a UK rally in eaarly 2010.
The intention is to travel by boat and stay a night in a hotel then get the boat home after the rally. Blackpool on 11th April 2010 springs to mind, unless people suggest a better one. www.g1gyc.demon.co.uk/narsa/index.html

reply please to Andy GD1MIP@manx.net or 412711

First come first served etc. Places will need to be booked by paying up front (as I will have to pay the boat up front)
