Sorry, that was badly worded....for all I know I am still on the waiting list for umpteen BW barge size moorings up North and I do not have a BW licence anymore. Anyone will be able to bid for the mooring, but once you have "won" (to use E-Bay speak) you will not be able to pass it on if you sell the boat, or want to move somewhere else. I presume (and only presume) that if you are stuffed with the mooring for three years, that you have obtained by this method, then you have to stay there for three years. Rather a long time if you don't get on with your neighbours, or the whole area goes down the pan / subject to vandalisim. Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - Shannon Reg 7410...here in spirit...
