| Hire a lake and bring a boat - water skiing, knee brding etc |
|
EDIT
CANCELLED
EDIT 24th June 2008
I was going to hire a lake in the cotswolds for a day - only weekdays left - and take the RIB.
Camp the night before, then knee board, water skii (if you have skis) or just hang on to an inflatable and travel at speeds up to 60mph  if you are brave (or stupid) enough.
guessing at abount £30 per vehicle, max 15 vehicles (or 30 people) - which will include camping , lake hire and boat fuel.

the lake is totaly private so we can take logs for a fire and skinny dip if thats what turns you on !!!!
Just assessing interest at this time 
If you have a boat, you are welcome to bring it along - perhaps we can have races  Duncan

 Don't Panic! Everything will be fine.... inflation is only 2.5% 3.0% 3.3% and the flying pigs are carbon neutral

If I get my RIB in time I will be coming along for a bit of fun. My other boat is being collected on Friday and then I will be straight out to buy a RIB.
But don't tell SWMBO as she thinks I have too many toys and I was just selling the other boat and not replacing it

looks like the only free date is Tuesday 24th June. I have it on hold for 48 hours but i need to confirm asap. Therefore I need commitments very quickly and deposits of £25 per vehicle. Once i know exact numbers I will confirm price. We can either do it by "per vehicle" or "per person". Fuel for boats will be reimbursed out of the proceeds.
we can arrive no earlier than 0730 the night before and need to leave no later than 1900 on the 24th. It is possible we could have the lake for the 25th also so please let me have your thoughts
I have changed the sign up to show a committed option. Once signed up I will PM you my Paypal account details or bank details Duncan
