The wooden keel that surfaced on Ian Hutchinson's mooring some weeks ago has moved. It is now on my mooring (no 11). There are 4 x 25l cans attached to attempt to lift it, but THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE AT HIGH WATER. Anyone sailing around the outer mooring trot, beware!

There are some photos of St Andrew's move out of the dock last Friday here.

I could use the regulator Mick. E-mail sent.

I would not like to restrict the forum to members only. quite a few potential members join the forum before they join the club We could ask that non-members e-mail one of us if they wished to register, and then assign them a temporary user name; if necessary we could change this when/if they join t...

Hi Derek, I was thinking about David's banning @gmail.com a long time ago. You're right of course about not knowing good from bad names if we followed my suggestion, but I should have thought that the number of non-legitimate registrations conforming to the pattern would be v. small. David might hav...

I've decided to put my Devon Scaffie "Half Moon" up for sale. http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff26/SailormanJohn/Copyofhalfmoon-2.jpg Details: Easily trailed and sailed standing lugsail rigged boat. Built late 2003. LOA 4.5m, beam 1.75m, draft 0.37m. British Racing Green hull. Oars. Two...

You did try banning @gmail.com addresses before. It doesn't affect existing users (mine is a gmail address), but I don't think it materially affected the number of unwanted registrations. Suggestion: allow only restricted user names, eg. <given name><family name><GSC number>. Then John Smith number ...

Relaxed transat.

OK by me to both.

Dave?

It might be a help, but phpbb users suggest it won't stop unwanted registrations, just unwanted posts.

Definitely worth a try!

It's not that likely that blocking an IP address would affect another of our members. If it did that person would no doubt complain and we could unblock it. It seems a lot of hassle going down the whois route.

I've been banning IP addresses of dodgy posters, as well as deleting the user name.

I've been getting rid of them all weekend!

Does phpbb allow an invitation only registration?

EDIT

It seems others would like this too:

This is an interesting yarn about a voyage in a 21' Shetland Fourareen type boat in the '70's.

Dave the Draper (David Nichols) used to look after buying and selling of Club regalia, but I think he no longer does. As far as I'm aware, we do still have some items (hats, shirts, sweat shirts) in a box in the store room. You could perhaps ask Frank (Bar) or Hazel (Soc. Sec.). Your size/preferred ...

This rather oddly trimmed vessel left Glasson Dock last Saturday (10th).

It was drawing an indicated 4.2m at the bow.

I've created a new Forum for NM and other topics relevant to local pilotage and navigation. Everyone: you don't have to wait for me to post these! If you are aware of local pilotage info. please feel free to post it there.


Derek: I've made you Moderator, hope that's OK.
