"Steaming Up" - Issue 18 - May 2008
From the Editor
Another year passes and hopefully a more successful one than last year is to follow.
I am determined to do my bit in revamping “Steaming up” and “195” and
as the new editor it has been suggested that I include other “articles” of
interest within its pages besides the all important President, Kildare & F.O.P.
matters that make up “Steaming up”
There are to be (as you will see from this issue), many other snippets of interest
such as the events & progress at BCLM, Back Cabin Recipes, Quiz and the ‘What’s
This Then’ competition where lucky? winners with the correct answers at next
years AGM meeting may win a very small prize but only if you are there.
To make “Steaming up” of even greater interest to a wider range of members
we NEED YOU to help in its production by sending in articles of interest, not only
the valued trip reports, but also other interesting stuff you may know of – funny
or serious. Pics of the boats or crew to be included in a rogues gallery in the
next “195” perhaps.
I look forward to being inundated with stuff
News
The 2008/9 AGM was held at the BCLM on Sat 5th April and was reasonably well attended
and all FOP Officials were returned for another year. Following a buffet lunch a
forum was held to discuss things events & happenings for 2009 and President’s
centenary.
Much useful information came out of the four groups and it will be collated into
what is going to be a great year – watch this space.
Anyone with any ideas please let any committee member know
