Saving Old Seagulls

G'day all Just a short note to advise that planning for the Oct/Nov 2013 "Summit to Sea" marathon in Australia has begun in earnest, with the first UPDATE sent out to those who have evinced an interest in participating. So if you thought you had evinced an interest to us, and didn't reciev...

Does anyone have any artwork or magazine ads that feature the illustrations by Robert E Groves? Seeking high-res digital files or original art or magazine ads. Please don't point to anything on the web - am specifically seeking originals or scans of same. Am in touch with Groves' descendents and the...

They're all struck dumb....lathes are like engineering porn.....

You can probably almost feel them going green with envy....

Saw Larry's trailer on the original Brisbane Meet back in April. Amazing. Have just had to put my trailer with its newly-rebuilt galvanised steel chassis over the pits (inspected by an AUVIS Inspector for a 'blue slip') and learned to my chagrin that the old hand-made mudguards (that had been on the...

Charles , don't girls like bright sparkly things ? Hence I'm polishing my bits . Women, I have heard they make more noise than a seagull and very hard to silence . I'll get an imaginary one and we could go on a double date. If you're polishing your bits yourself, you probably don't need a girlffrie...

Email from David stated 9th...check with him or committee..

Well, since the Essex meet got cancelled by weather, how about a few more of you Pommie buggers extracting a digit?

Do we want H-A to earn himself a 'Perpetual Trophy'....??????

How's the leg, Charles???

Have just been advised by the RLYS Commodore, David Vipond, that this year's Lerryn race will be held earlier than usual, on the 9th December, due to it being the only weekend with suitable tides. So if you're planning to attend, better get your skates on..!! More to follow once I have further info....

G'day all Just a quick update on what's been happening Down Under......we now officially have 100 members on the Oz Seagull Group emailing list. A proper Oz 'Century'.... ;) At the Grafton Jacaranda Festival Wooden Boat Regatta where we held a stall last weekend, we got loads of interest from the ge...

It's definitely a sort of cultural thing....we have similar issues getting bods to events here in Oz, although we are batting from the bottom of the board anyway, seeing we only formed the Oz owners group a bit over 12 months ago..... But the "tyranny of distance" applies here too. I live ...

Earplugs? What was that you said? lol

Sit far enough forward and you don't need them, really, especially with a 102 or Kingie....

BUMP........ This is just a reminder to those from outside Oz that we are now only 12 months out from the Greatest Ever Seagull Event [ ;) ] so if you had any vague thoughts about attending either the whole trip - 2500kms over five weeks - or even a partial trip, say one to two weeks - you will need...

The Oz Seagull owners group has been officially invited by the organisers of this large and popular festival to take part in next year's event. As we have quite a few members in Sydney and around the Newcastle / Lake Macquarie area, I thought this would be a good event for a Gathering. Details not y...

We'll be taking the Seagull Owners group stand to the Grafton Festival again this year, on the first weekend in November, so anyone from SE QLD or northern NSW, it's not that far to drive and is a good weekend with loads of fun stuff to do.

See attached poster or PM me for more details.

Well, as predicted, the set-up day was foul - howling wind and pouring rain. And that blighter Murphy dictated that no sooner had we finished erecting the stand and got the roof on it - the rain stopped. Grrrrrr.... But we had a good time over the weekend as it was fine and sunny both days, with a g...
