Hi Nick,
Mine also arrived, superb quality.
Stick on the Paypal button and let us know the diferrence even though I'll have to eat
. for the rest of the month. Only joking, much prefer corned beef but there was no smilie for that.
Thanks for persevering through the pound plummetting and the ink travails, the end result is extremely impressive.
Cheers
Charlie

Mine seems to have arrived yesterday as well (package was hiding under my bike) and I share the general delight at the quality.
So much so that I propose a gathering or muster of FirthofForth based vessels flying the BMB (BlueMomentBurgee). Something like the first Saturday in May, Inchcolm anchorage?

This is a seriously impressive item - far superior to the rag for hanging on a wall from TOP.
Nick - it was worth the wait, the debate and the money. BTW do we owe you more?
So what's the next idea that we can have a debate about?

Does anyone else prefer A&B Roll?
(No smilie for that either.)

9th/10th May is good for me. Saturday 9th is Springs, HW 1559 local time at Rosyth, which makes me tend towards an overnight stop somewhere down East.

Sounds good to me: I'm sure I would be up for that. I'll put it in the diary now.
Got anywhere in mind for the overnight, asssuming benign weather ?

after an extended net absence, I can now confirm safe arrival and I'm impressed by the quality.
Let me know the balance due please.

Mine arrived this morning thanks. What a bit of kit! This is surely the standard by which all burgees will henceforth be judged.
Many thanks to Ockle for the design and Nick for the tortuous procurement.

I feel a tad embarrassed posting this- but mine hasn't.. not entirely surprising since you don't know my address!
I am happy to send a paypal payment, Nick (as I know the funds may not cover the costs?) - although (cough cough) i was... err....offered a free one for being the 500th member...
