Once again many thanks for all the Names and data being posted here, it is Enlightening to see that so many are willing to add their Names etc. At the moment i am a wee bit busy , but will get down in a few days to update my lists. I have been thinking about these lists in the near past, and am pondering on an idea as to what can be done eventually with them. Thinking possibly like our old Flags that were made by Mike and myself a ways back, and sent to Southampton to the Juniper Berry, where i did actually see then on a visit some time back. May be there some place that i could send these to, a Maritime Establishment of course , that had an interest in this sort of thing? Wondering if anyone on here may just have any ideas as well ????? Will take in any that may come forward! Thanks Lads Cheers

I'm from the Sluice, my dad never had the inclination or privilege to join the ranks of us that went on the ocean. Went to Whitley grammar if that's any help.

The pub right opposite the Sluice had. The biggest fish I have ever seen with their fish and chips . When ordering by size had to be careful and not get a small, shark. Even by Australian standards were big fish and chips JS
Thank you, Doc, it's an honor to be placed among the many. Gratefully Yours, Rodney Mills

AS to the flags Vernon, I have heard there is some sort of maritime museum in Southampton. Maybe a place to put them!!

Yes John When i was there the last time, i did some research and there is a place that i feel may take a Flag or three! LOL But at this stage i have not even started a new one, not sure if i will tackle another but who knows! I would like to try and do one similar to the one that Mike did a ways back, when we sent our Flags to the Juniper Berry. I dont know whats happened to those as the last time i spoke with George, if correct they have been taken down, so not sure as to what happened to them. George was supposed to get back to me , once he had been back to the JB and spoken with the Landlord who is there now!?? May have to send him another Email and ask again! Pity that as Mike and me did a lot of Work on the Flags! Each in our own way! Cheers
