I had an appointment with my bike and some big hills in the Cotswolds (plus a few pubs, of course). Even more sorry that the platform lift at LSC was totally knackered. I am pleased to announce that LSC is now in the process of building an extension to the Club with a proper lift to get Sailability members up to the 1st floor Clubroom. I will let you know when we are finished and hope you can come along and try it out. Also, if your Wet Wheels is ever stuck for a crew member, let me know. Like most retired people, I am busier now than ever, but I can usually find time for boating if given enough notice.
