Also would have been helpful if OARA did not decide every so often to stop working, but that might be too much to expect. Andrew |

Our "advertiser's copy" arrived at the weekend. But we were lucky to get it. The post had mangled the envelope to hell, & then strapped it back together with an elastic band.

Keep a stout heart, everybody [in the UK] Paid for my 2008 BRA by direct debit ?end March; received it AND a Rules booklet, in separate envelopes each franked Friday 2nd May, today 6th May. [the two envelopes could actually have blown across Hammersmith Bridge from the Emerald City slightly quicker, but that's a special case] Due to umpire my third and fourth regattas 10th and 11th. Heigh ho. After last year's criticism of minimalist cover design, they've stuck with minimal. We're getting there - as British Rail used to say before it was broken up [we didn't know when we were well off, did we?] Richard |
