Customer Comments
Dear John,Peter and I would like to thank all the members of the club for the friendly welcome and all the helpful advice we have received during our stay, both in the wet dock and out on the slipway. New friendships have been made with an exchange of phone numbers and e-mail addresses so as our time with you has now come to an end we wish you all a fond farewell but hope to see you all again soon. We not only take away with us a very smart boat with lovely new graphics (thanks to you John) but also lots of happy memories of all you lovely people who have popped in to say hello and see how things were progressing - so thank you again.
