Well, here we are on the last day of 2022. I've been looking back to my first post in September 2018. Back then I was a new owner whose only experience of boating was the occasional hour on the rowing boats on the pool at Walsall Arboretum - and I'd just bought a Norman 23. Looking back over the last four years of ownership, I'll be forever grateful to the help I got from this forum at a time when I knew absolutely nothing. There was serious kindness and friendship for a newbie who was asking the most basic of questions and received the most helpful of answers.
I want to wish all members a happy and successful New Year. And I want to express the sincere hope that the forum continues, when I can see that it seems to be fading away. The knowledge and help I received in my early days made me the confident, experienced Norman enthusiast that I am today.
There seem to be plenty on members still on the books. Please do what you can to keep this valuable pool of information going.
Tom
