When this is published I shall be at our boat's owners' meeting in Birmingham. This is where we decide on the level of maintenance, repainting etc. we want. It's also when we get to meet the other owners of our boat: when we take Shadow out for a cruise the previous users have already left; when we return it we're gone before the next owners arrive. We also decide whether or not we want OwnerShips to continue doing the admin for us. Nearly all boats' owners want this to be the case as that's why we're in the OwnerShips scheme in the first place.
We're combining this meeting with a visit to our daughter and son-in-law who live, conveniently, in Birmingham.
We had an excellent meal out yesterday evening, at Sweet Chillies, which describes itself as a "Contemporary Bangla restaurant". The nearest canal is the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal: 7 minutes' walk from Bridge 5 (I think: it's Yardley Wood Road, anyway). Just go to the road from the towpath and walk north from the bridge (i.e. don't cross it). We have a favourite Indian restaurant in Norwich: Sweet Chillies was better.

I hope the meeting went well Halfie. Do you ever have any conflict over suggestions and plans for maintenance etc. Sharing ownership must carry some risks, even about times when you can have the boat!
VallyP, yes, the meeting went well, thanks. We come to amicable agreements over any issues, solved if necessary by a simple majority vote. We decided to stay put at Tattenhall Marina next year, and that was the closest vote.
The booking chart is administered by OwnerShips - we pay them to do it - and our pecking order of the weeks we want on the boat rotates from year to year.
