That boat would be fine for ths Mixon as it's only a few miles from Selsey - it's up for sale though (http://www.findafishingboat.com/detail.php?aid=18025) so may not actually be operating by the time we get round to the trip. Other than the venues you mention you could also use the RIBs from Wittering Divers.

Hi All,

The only boat operating out of Selsey seems to be a fishing boat but they
shore launch and it looks quite small taking max 8 - just chatted to the
skipper and apparently all the kit is put in a 'dory' whatever that is and
then transferred to the bigger vessel.  He is also putting a lift in for
2009 but it looks a bit cramped

http://www.selsey-fish-trips.com/dive-trips.html


The other option is going out of Littlehampton or Portsmouth where the
range of boats increases - we allready have some part charters on Voyager
but that would require the agreement of the other club but will ask anyway

On doing a weekend trip I would really like to do a Weymouth or Lundy trip
but have to rustle up the numbers to make it worthwhile

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that - I seem to remember Margie got a lot of amorous attention
from the seals didnt she?

Would see be up for it also?

Anybody else interested in either location?

Dear All,

Steve has emailed me the list of the dates we have with him and along with
Voyager and the weekend and Scapa trips the dive list dates are finalised

The only decision we need to make is what dives do people want to do?

So does anyone have any particular favourites or dives they wish to do?  No
doubt the usual suspects of the Fortuna, TR Thompson, City of Wateford,
Ashford and Moldavia will be represented but is there any other hidden gems
that people would like to do?

I am also thinking of running a one day trip to the Mixon Hole which some
of the old-timers in the club (aka Paul Carvall) have told me is an
excellent dive; its unusual in that it is a scenic dive of Selsey which is
beleived to be an old roman quarry with lots of life and fossilised shark
teeth

Chris Vanstone has expressed a wish to go play with seals - a trip he did
with his other club on Lundy Island - if we get sufficient interest I can
look to run one of these trips either in the Farnes or Lundy if anyone is
interested

I am off myself a week Friday to the red sea so will try to sort it out
before then or more likely by the end of the year

We'll I was overwhelmed with the responses received.

One wishing me well with the post of Chair (thanks a lot for that) and
another suggesting we should have "new blood with fresh ideas"...no
prizes for guessing the author of that one!.

Whilst sifting these responses from my in tray to a more suitable
storage area (taking at least 2 nano-seconds) at no time did I come
across any mention of volunteers!.

As such I'm assuming post of Chair (on a "temporary" basis).  If anybody
wants it at any stage please please do let me know

In the mean time however.....  May whoever or whatever God/s you have,
have mercy upon your souls.

This is the word of the Chairman

Dear all,

Official minutes of AGM are pending.

You should be aware that the posts of Chair and "Dry" Officer are still
vacant and as of this moment (not surprisingly) there have been no
volunteers.  Some members have suggested that perhaps I should take the
post of Chair (as well as DO).

I propose to take this on temporarily, until some other mug can be
found.  If anybody has any objections or comments, please mail me back
or call.

If I don't receive any responses by e.o.b Friday 30th, I'll assume
"tacit" acceptance of this proposal and will take the post of Chair

Hi All,

Message from Chris Vanstone

For those of you currently training with club kit can you please email the
club list confirming the make of your regs; jacket and cylinder you have

Reason why is it seems some of the 10l cylinders are out with recent
trainees; current trainees and have not been returned.

Alan,
You might be able to liase with Chris V with this since you have seen them
go through your hands as TO; at least in terms of names to chase

I know Alan Lawrence is not on the mailing list but it seems as if no
records were kept up to date re: reg testing etc or who was lent what so
Chris is struggling to reconcile things
