Here's a Bridlington rowing boat for you

The Southern Front for the Appreciation of the Bridlington rowing boat. (or TSFFTAOTBRB for short)

There are two founding members of this new and not very exciting club......

Colin Henwood - who has a Bridlington rowing boat called 'Karen'. (He used to have another one called 'Ringo', but we don't talk about that.)

Graeme Ratten - a real Yorkshireman who believe it or not was born in Bridlington. What are the chances of that. He also has a Bridlington rowing boat called 'Victoria'.

Colin has had his boat for yonks. Graeme has had his for 2 years. Both boats can be seen on the River Thames at Henley.

'Victoria of Bridlington'

Was given this rather grand name since The Environment Agency require all craft to be registered and licensed, and of course they have to have a name approved and painted front and back. Victoria was her original name in the Bridlington hire boat fleet, however this name was long ago claimed by another boat on the Thames.

Our mission, although only 50% of us are signed up to it, is to hail as many Thames skiffs as possible with a friendly Yerkshire greeting such as 'now then flower!' or occasionally 'eh up cock!'
