Okay, I'll give it til the end of the week and if there's no objections
I'll do the necessary on the web site.

I think we'd be in safe hands, they'll probably issue you a bouyancy aid
if you really wanted one though! :)

I think it could be a good opportunity to get together with another LUG,
so no objections from me.

I'll wait for a couple more replies before heading to Pock to find out
the details, but I think it would be very pleasant.  For those that
don't know, the Pocklington Canal is all SSSI and full of and surrounded
by loads of wildlife.  We regularly paddle it in the canoe with the trip
from Melbourne to Gardham Lock for a picnic a favourite of the boys.

Toodle pip,

Al
