Hi Donal. Welcome aboard. I'm based in Dublin and chairman of the Irish Hovercraft Club. We will be down along the Shannon during the last week of July. Before that we will have a small get together down in Tralee in 2 weeks time. As it happens, one of the lads, although based in Dublin, keeps his Vortex down in Mullingar. If I can be of any help, or you just want to chat, give me a call any evening after 6 on 0872507004, or any time over the weekend.
