Due to the hack I have been unable to message people ref paypal payment. Now we are restored I will send a pm this week to all ref payment.

No probs Reg, I have a few spares matey

A bit late here, not being upto date I am afraid, real life has not been good past few months. But read and donated. I would love to keep the sails going but understand how difficult this is. I dont oost as regular as I used to and even on the sails I dont have much to say at this time. But my love of both games and especially sails is undiminished.

Yes there till end, but sorry aint got an undersheet, gave the one I had back to its original owner and not yet replaced

Belated congrats Darryl, with pleasure I will join you if still able, a large Port if you dont mind

Malta actually is my place of birth thanks to dad being in the RN. My suggestion was to assist you by just opening up said organs without dirtying a knife or other such instrument

I will be able to attend Dave, do you need me to bring anything ? Also anyone who ordered Donny badges and are going to Newbury, let me know and I will bring on the day

At last back on, I can only concur with your comments although I would give them a free flight to Malta via a Hercules and then let them off there…. Without landing of course

Badges have arrived and look fine, to me anyway. In the next few days I will contact all the people who ordered a badge re payment. Please answer this pm with your preference, cash on the day or paypal

Apologies to all as I thought I had already sent this info, I blame the lack of info on my retired senility. The Sails this year will be a representation of the First Battle of Algeciras 1801. A repesentation as although I have files for the correct ships for the battle, my desktop is us and I have lost all my files for Sails and Wings. Trying to recover to no avail at this time so cant make the correct ship mats and logs, however I can get the correct types to make a game, Room will be for max 9(10) players, 6 x British and 3 possibly 4 French. So please if you are wanting to play send your names and which nation you want to play.

There may be a couple of spares for on the day…. Just in case

Badges ordered as we had 31 price will be £7 each

Pleasure to meet you and your other half at Devizes Suzie hope to see you both again. I will try and get to Beachead next year with the Sails game to show you.

Welcome to you Simon, glad you enjoyed the game and are joining us here.
