Well done folks, and welcome to weblog-dom!
Are you planning a regular email newsletter - the plugin subscribe does this automagically, and I’d certainly sign up.
And, finally, thanks for the link!

Welcome to the UK Home Built Boat Rally
Formed in 2006 by Alec Jordan, UK-HBBR is a loose collection of like-minded individuals with a common interest in building boats at home. The aim is to organise several meetings around the country where home boat builders can get together to have a chat, see each others boats, sail in other boats, and talk about the trials, tribulations and rewards of building your own boat.
Details of meetings past and future will be posted on this blog, Keep an eye on the future events page. This year 2008 we have already had a successful meet at Barton Turf and are looking forward to Cobnor, Cotswolds and Ullswater. If you’ve built a boat, are planning to, or just want to come along to see what its all about, we’d love to see you.
There is no membership fee, formal organisation, or red tape. If you have read this far consider yourself a member. If you want to keep up with the gossip and chat between meetings, sign up for the forum. You’ll find a link somewhere around here.

Thanks Gavin.
The free WordPress server won’t host the Subscribe plugin (and other goodies) so we’ll have to find a different server first.
But an email newsletter sounds great!

Hi Folks
this looks good. I’d like to make it to Ullswater, but don’t know at this stage if it will work out.
You can offer email updates from WordPress - check out this FAQ:
http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/11/how-can-i-offer-email-updates/
I’ve done this on my blog here (tho’ it’s not been updated for a while), so I can’t remember the details. But I’m happy to help if needed.
I’ll be subscribing via RSS. (If anyone wants to know why to use RSS and how, check out:

Now I’ve discovered RSS, I’m avoiding email subscriptions wherever RSS is available!)
cheers

Hi everyone
I shall follow this one up at a later date. Got an ex RNLI lifeboat launch which still requires the final fit out so I will see you soon. I have got the plans for Joel Whites Haven 12 so this will be the winter project Trying to work out how to build it in strip planks but time will tell.

Howdy Alec and All,
I just received some pics of a Goat Island Skiff sailing on Barton Broad in the UK.
