Originally posted by ASCPFC Did you ever go to Gay Meadow? There was a guy with a coracle (wicker boat) to collect the balls that went in the river. Was about the only interesting thing about the place. Never benn to the New Meadow. Not as catchy a name anyhow. I did go to Gay Meadow back in the 80’s needless to say we lost both times because they were our bogey team back then. I remember that dude in the boat, if I remember right you could actually see him from the ground waiting patiently to spring into action

Seen on the BBS that someone has heard of a third boat, but the poster does not have a link or details... no idea as to where people are hearing about these boats and where to buy tickets. Still really want to buy 2 if there are any going spare. It won't feel like Fulham away without going on the boat party before! [Link]

Due to ill health there are two spaces left on the boat. Get in quick if you want them. Contact Grant on facebook. Posted on a number of the groups. Edited by The groover (18 May 2023 9.28am)
