Graham Price has
received the following request
"We have a student from Exeter who
is very keen to hear the instant we get
our next red tide in Kingsbridge. I am
asking if you would please keep an eye on
the water as you pass Kingsbridge Creek
or over the Newbridge at Bowcombe Creek
and let me know as soon as the water
starts turning that opaque burgundy red
colour? It's happened for the last 7
years on the trot, so I do expect our
next any time now! Nigel Mortimer

The Boatwatch
Co-ordinator has received
the following message from the local
police "Between 190508 and 300508 a
15hp Suzuki black outboard was stolen
from South Sands- no serial number. Fuel
tank and fuel stolen from Tacket Wood are
between 27th and 30th May. Unfortunately
with the cost of fuel rising the theft of
it is going to increase considerably,
unless we can educate boat owners to
remove them. During a similar period we
have had 5 cars with their fuel tanks
drilled and emptied." Members
are urged to either remove visible fuel
tanks or lock them securely by cable or
chain. |

From Madeline
Moore. Between 15 and 20 people
turned up at our monthly get-together at
The Crabshell last Wednesday (16 April
2008). Some members took the opportunity
to renew their membership, and a new
member joined. We had a great evening
with some good chat, including
discussions on a new design by Neil White
for a club t-shirt [watch this space!]
and ideas for planting the KEBC boat for
the Kingsbridge in Bloom competition, and
a couple of people brought some bits and
pieces to sell. The next get-together is
on Wednesday 21st May starting at
7.30. Weather permitting we hope
to erect our new gazebo outside. So come
and join us for a drink and a chat and
bring anything you want to sell or swap. |

9 April 2008. From Bob
Burnside. The naming ceremony
for Salcombe's new Tamar lifeboat will be

up) or on land. It all starts at the
above time in front of the Salcombe Yacht
Club. For more information ring me on
853351 and I'll try to help |

From Madeline Moore,
KEBC Secretary. We thought it
would be a good idea for members to
keep in touch with each other
by continuing our monthly informal
get-togethers throughout the spring and
summer. We won’t be having any
talks, but hope people will come
along to meet in the downstairs
bar/outside the Crabshell on the third
Wednesday of each month from 7.30 onwards
to have a drink and a chat, starting on
Wednesday 16th
April. If anybody has any boat-y
bits they want to sell, give away, swap,
whatever, bring them along. |
