Well, Chilly, Reg and I moved onto Wraysbury in 1997 and one weekend we arranged to meet Dave there, for Reg's birthday I seem to recall. Anyway, boats were not allowed at the time, but that rule seemed to have passed us by. The short story is, we got caught and got banned. There's even a swim named after us, where the 'captures' took place - The Banned." (Keith Jenkins - publisher and editor). Keith, Chilly, Reg and Daves' stories can be found in the new, extra 80 pages. A "brief history of the first two decades of Horton Church Lake." Contributors include; Johnny Moult, Stuart Rothwell, Martin Gardener, Darren Ward, Chris Pearson, Alan South, Robbie Stoddard, Steve Mogford, Tony Badham, Peter Bond, Simon Lavin, Garry Bond, Del Smith, Garth Ecclestone, Ben Musselwhite, Matt Eaton, Martin Pick, Dennis de Wilde, Barry Meeuwissen, Kevin Winter, John Beacher, Dave Slowen. Hundreds of pictures. The cover (matt laminated boards) represents a facsimile of an old leather-bound journal, complete with disintegrating spine. Only 1,000 copies of this edition were printed and the publisher sold out long ago.
