Aquarius, fails her M.O.T.
As you may or may not know our trusty rescue boat HMS Aquarius, failed her annual (and first) MOT. We are advised that she needs extensive modifications to her fuel system.
No problem I here you say (unfortunately she also needs a new engine. If anybody's got a suitable Stuart Turner inboard (or equivalent) lying around in the garden shed, or knows the whereabouts of one at a reasonable price, The Committee urgently needs to hear from you.
In the meantime the old Hawker SC rescue boat (HMS Styrofoam) has been pressed into standby service. No, don't laugh. She may not be pretty but she's fast, solid and like the inimitable Molly Brown, unsinkable !


BOAT BERTHS
Vegetation is growing very fast and members with boat berths are reminded that it is their responsibility to keep them tidy.
Also boats must be tied down at all times
