Sun shines on Ownashare

Lovely September sunshine was an added bonus for Ownashare's show at Fradley Junction this weekend - at least on the Saturday.  It was a welcome contrast to the snow and fog that blighted the company's show earlier in the year.

When Pippa and I were there, there was a steady stream of visitors looking at the new boats and enjoying the activity at Fradley.

“The weather smiled on Fradley Junction this weekend and helped us to deliver one of our best open events to date with lots of interest and sales. Only a handful of shares now remain in our latest boats Minuet and Forget Me Knot,” said Phil Capp, Ownashare's MD.

Ownashare also took the opportunity of the show to announce their new packages and prices for 2013.

There are again several options, but the full management package with all the options works out at £4,800 (including VAT ) on a 12-share boat.

The idea of breaking up the total management package into a number of options has much to commend it, but the options remain as additions to the core package.  

I wonder whether there are any self-managed syndicates that would welcome these options being offered as 'stand-alones' - particularly the pre winter maintenance inspection and report and the supervision of the winter works.  Please let us know what you think, either by emailing us or posting a comment.
