Well well! what an eventfull meeting. Cheers Stu and (especially) adam for your efforts. I think it went very smoothly and was throughly enjoyable.

As for the meeting itself, I have far too much to say, so i'll keep it short as i think much would be lost in the translation.
People i've met before; the gang, it was as ever a 'right old laugh' to see you again. Throughly fun packed three days!! hehehe

Suddy, Brasco, Chriskay, coyote1980, Stu Chacks, welshdragon, Ianmart, 480beancounter, red480gt...and possibly more, have i forgotten? It was really cool to meet you all.....Chris and Brasco even let me in their cars

Hope to see you all again at future meetings!

(&btw@ sally whom said i should post, no results yet, turned out just to be a list of people who had passed the 3rd year (which i am on!). Hopefully get the numbers on monday.)

@Adam & Stu - Great planning, thanks for booking the weather (I'm peeling now!)

@Sally - Top woman for attending. The feet washing in Portmeirion must be a mid-thirties thing

.

@John - sliding into Gaz's T4 - yes it's on video.

@John & Lee - scaling the marquee - pure You've Been Framed material (again on video).

@Everyone else - nice to see you all & thanks for making it so enjoyable.

ps Video will be available as soon as Mr Owl has a spare few mins.

Yay! Back home as well now

Arrived last night around midnight, had a wonderful time with all of you, was great fun!! Finally I can put some pictures with everybodies name, that helps!

Will be burning my photos on CD and sent them to Gaz who kindly volunteered as the media-managing-man

Will also pick a few nice shots and put them on photobucket!

What a smooth drive back, except around Antwerp thanx to the missus

My PDA and TomTom were shouting "go left go left" on the motorway, and Ireen said "no no no, we have to take the Liefkenshoek-tunnel, we must go right", and then a big sign said "Liefkenshoektunnel - left", and I said shouldn't we go left now? And she was like no no no, take right... And after the exit I was like "why not follow the sign to Liefkenshoek-tunnel??" And she said "o bugger, take the first exit and turn"... But once there we couldn't get back on the motorway and got nicely stuck in the city center

Last time I listen to here now

But for the rest it was a nice smooth journey back home

A big thanx to everyone at the meeting and Adam for organising it, was a really wonderful week for both of us!

PS: Wayne, did you see me waving when you were heading back to the campsite Thursdays?

Please may I add my thanks to Adam, Sarah and Stu for organising such an enjoyable meet.

Again it must be said it was a joy to see so many people, both old and new faces. I was especially delighted to meet Daniel and Ireen and it was a pleasant surprise to see SallySal again, even if I didn't get to say good-bye!

Re: 'J-T and the front spoiler' - we also have it on video, as well as the 'J-T and Lee tent-scaling exercise'!

(There's a common-denominator there somewhere!)

Methinks Mr Dragon will be organising some sort of collection of photies, so feel free to chuck some his way!

Thanks again and hope to see all of you later in the year.

Yeah sorry about that - I should have said my goodbyes the night before! I left earlier than I planned simply because I woke up so darn early.......those blasted midges start their days' work of biting the innocent so early. Camp 480 was asleep, apart from a very groggy Lee, so I bade my farewell by note.

That J-T is such a troublesome young maayn!..............give him a few stones and he'll play quietly building a nice dam, but when there's mischief to be had - watch out!.......................

No sign of the camera.............I'm managing to look at a few photos at a time, then I lose internet connection...........methinks it's time to look into getting broadband! Looking forward to seeing the Dragon Disc.

Sx

Gosh quite a reputation for mischief i seem to be developing. I blame Lee for leading me astray. He'll have me accepting sweets from stangers next.

Mind theres others out there seem to encourage such things (I'm talking about you owls and dragons!)

If left well alone i merely read books, knit jumpers, and sometimes read books about knitting jumpers.

I agree absolutely Ad!
especially when the person accused is an 'upstanding member of the law enforcement community'

we know you're a rascal John no matter how much you try to hide behind those knitting patterns!

Yes, but he was nice and quiet paddling and building his dam. Until Lee and Dragon turned up that is, so maybe he IS just easily led astray as he claims!

Thanks all for a cool meet

I will be trying to arrange a collective set of photos and movies onto a DVD disc so they can be rememberecd. Just need to order a bleedin capture card so a) I can put some clips online and b) do some editting

Can't say this process will be fast, but it will be done.

Can all those with pictures please burn them to a CD and send them to me - that's the easiest way for me to manage it. The address will follow shortly...

I have a question, on this picture (which ad took), why is sally worshiping gaz?

Big Brother · Post by **Big Brother** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 10:21 pm

Never noticed that

JohnTurbo · Post by **JohnTurbo** » Mon Jun 20, 2005 10:26 pm

Gaz seems very pleased...perhaps he will not ruin Sally's crops this season.
