BLUEMOMENT

I received an email invitation for RYA Gold Card members (those entitled to blue ensigns, perhaps? ) for free canapes and a "whiskey" sampling session at a reception in Kip Marina. As the RYA would be too well focussed on sporting achievement to go splashing members' contributions on free oblivion, I presume that the whisky trade will be promoting their wares, which, incidentally, constitute such a vital part of our fine nation's revenues. It would be ungracious to suggest that the RYA intend that the admittedly fine products of other nations would have priority.

E lad, I don't know what you are getting at? E bye gum.

Well this RYA Gold Card member didn't get an invite.

Neither did this one, but I don't think that I have ever signed up for information via email. The magazine came through the letterbox recently but I didn't see an invite in amongst the advertising leaflets.

I got an invite too - and I'm not even a member!!!
