what to do with your new canoe...

A friend recently bought a canadian canoe/kayak very cheap from a warehouse discount-type shop thingie. One of those random impulse purchases, I'm still not sure if he knows why he bought it? Anyway, he wants to use it on public canals and lakes etc when he goes camping but wasnt sure about the legalities of it?

After a bit of digging around I found that he can use it at quite a few local stretches of water all he needs to do is make sure he has third party boat insurance as a minimum, to cover him again any accidents where damage is done to another vessel or to inanimate objects, like bridges and banks etc

Heathfieldz Chat Room Added

Finally figured out the basics of PHP and MySQL so that I could install the open source bulletin board PHPBB for the Heathfieldz Festival....

Heathfieldz Chat Room

Took some getting used to - mainly due to the Administrator Interface which I found to be very confusing until I was able to understand the structure and layout.

It is an amazingly detailed piece of software and (when I manage to get some free time) I'll start to learn the finer points of editing the template and making it look part of the main website.
