i am walking around the Southampton boat show and bumped into ABC and got chatting as the lady sold the boat to the in-laws.
now I'm sure in the early 90s we hired from avelchurch boat company the boat was definatly in their colours but I am sure we started at evesham.
they day they weren't at evesham. so does anyone know who we would of hired from or am I mistaken?
thanks.

We hired from Alvechurch for most of the 80s and don't recall them having a base at Evesham then. Our last hiring with them was 1991 and no Avon base then.

My memories of the 80s is there was only the base at Alvechurch. Run by Colonel Fabricius and his wife. My in-laws got on well with them and likened to handover procedure to being marched in or out of Army hirings rather than the laizzie faire attitude of later hirings. Al Harris was technical manager.
In 1990 we hired from their base at Gayton for 3 weeks and cruised down to Limehouse and then up the Thames and back to Gayton. Can't recall who was running the Gayton base but not a patch on Alvechurch. Or when they took it over.
