Rye Maritime Industries Confederation

In discussions last year with Carl Bagwell on
a possible involvement with D&M...an Edinburgh-based
publisher of port guides...and more recently in discussions with
Steve Kemp, it has become clear that there is an urgent need
for a Rye Maritime Gazette.
This could be published by an existing organisation such as HORAC, RHBOA, RHSC, The Environment Agency's Harbour Office or one of the fishing organizations, but I believe it would be better coming from a new organization, operating on a 'for-profit' basis, entitled the Rye Maritime Industries Confederation.
Membership of RMIC would be open to any commercial organization whose livelihood depends on maritime activity in and around the ancient ports, harbours and waterways of Rye and Romney Marsh. Annual fees should be around the £ 250 mark...with member services to match.
