Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

Is there any possibility of seeing K7 on the water this year? Covid permitting of course. No chance this year, one of the big difficulties is getting enough of the team together but there's still lots of work to do on the boat to get it finished. The good news is that soon as we're allowed we're go...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

For now all I see we can do is just crack on, should the museum reach out to any of us then happy days, if they don’t...nothing has changed nothing has been lost or gained and we all remain in the same stalemate. Absolutely - except for one small detail. If we withdraw our offer there's not even a ...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

Otherwise, unless some sort of miraculous change occurs, it can only be - to say sod the RM - and the BBP does its own thing...? Not sure how this would pan out - given that the RM do appear to own the original parts of K7....? It's not that complex - yes they say they won't deal with me, well ther...

Re: What have forum members been up to?

That looks amazing. Are the aluminium panels scratch built? Always wanted to do that.
It looks to be shaping up as a top piece of work.

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

At present, both Gina & the RM have stepped firmly away from their previous positions. They have both changed - whereas (IMHO) the BBP have been consistent - and stayed where they were. That's about the size of it - our goals have never changed, until now at least. We now accept that the RM isn...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

Yep . Gina has zero credibility after her last episode . Sadly, I can't really argue with that. I speak to a LOT of people about Bluebird stuff and that is the general consensus. There's the occasional one who remain adamant that she can do no wrong and that's their opinion but it's not widely held...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

I doubt we will get an answer, any time soon. Another abrupt U-turn, would really make her look silly. As if her first U-turn has not already done so. Bit of a conundrum, is that. Is it sillier to obstinately stay in the huff than it is to say, oops - got that wrong, sorry everyone, won't be making...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

No doubt the questions will be filtered. The question I get asked most days is how did Gina get from lapping up the adulation on Bute and the 'she's too young to sit in a crusty old museum' thing to the 4th January 2020 suicide speech. That's one hell of a turnaround. Would be interesting to hear t...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

Ruskin doing a Q&A with Gina.... got to be something we’re all dying to ask her. ;) I doubt very much that the really juicy questions will make it as far as getting an answer but you never know. if anyone fancies a Q&A with us or a Zoom meeting or something just ask - we'd be up for that.

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

However.... I hope that the door will not be closed, on the RM - and that at some point, a dialogue may happen, which resolves the issues between the RM & the BBP, such that K7 can at least visit Coniston, at some point in the future. Never say never. The door is very much open. It's not open t...
