Words from the Chairman
Dear Friends,
I would like to apologise for the delay in getting this issue to you. This has been due to a number of circumstances, which would prove to be too long and boring to go through here. In the future it is our plan to produce three editions of ‘Steaming Up’ during 2005 and one bumper edition of ‘195’ at the end of each season. We all welcome back Keith Rogers and Malcolm Nixon who will be producing ‘195’ and Nigel Wood will continue the ‘Steaming Up’ news sheet. Neither publication can work without your contributions so get writing and swamp them in paper or emails.
The boats have had a very successful year and I would like to congratulate all the crews for their hard work and dedication. With this issue you will receive a copy of the outline boating programme for 2005. Richard needs your names as soon as possible to ensure that we can fulfil this programme – you are welcome and I am sure you will enjoy it.
Happy Christmas and a good road to you all for 2005.
David Powell Chairman
Boating Programme 2005 - see schedule here
As you will see from this years crewing sheet we have an interesting and exciting programme planned for next year. There are few things worth a few more words. We have been asked to carry the replica castings of the Crystal Palace from the Black Country down to London where they are to be erected on the site of the original Crystal Palace in South London . They were first seen on the BBC ‘What the Victorians Did For Us’. We will then be running ‘Fly’ back to the Blisworth Tunnel celebrations arriving at midday on the Saturday. With the ‘National’ being at Preston Brook we are taking the opportunity to visit Northwich and President’s rescue site via the Anderton Lift! Please let Richard Thomas have your completed forms back urgently.
