Morning All ..... First things First..... A solar system sized THANK YOU to Gary for organizing the first "B n N" of the season... GREAT NIGHT........ It was great to catch up with old and new faces alike...lots of boat nattering and assisting Gary with his "getting OFF the wagon" gently !!!!...somebody let it out of the bag that it was my "getting nearer to a bus pass day", and therefore received a chorus of happy birthday and gift of a new THANKS MUM EMERGENCY GRAB BAG !!!!! consisting of, portable vhf, flares, rations, compass and gold foil to keep warm ......(I must quash rumors here and now, that the bag contained alcoholic beverage and sweeties)...the card signed by one and all there was touching... THANKS TO ONE AND ALL..... again thanks for a great night, calm seas and a good season ahead for everybody however your method of playing on the wet stuff ... regards Steve............... ........ (I hope I don't break THIS computer as well !!!!!)

Thanks for organising the evening Gary.

Without doubt our best gathering to date, it speaks volumes that I didn't actually get to speak to everyone, looked at my watch and it was 11.30pm !

Good to see some regulars and a few new faces. Alan & Colin - all I can say is you lucky b'stards. What a superb day to cross from Brixham. Glad to see you both in one piece.

I did end up coming home with a strange paperweight though ?


Until next time, for which I have a cunning plan........

Hi Gary, sorry I missed you this morning I think you were soaking up the booze with Bacon and eggs.

Well done for getting so many folks together last night, was really nice to meet all that attended and put some faces to names.

Steve please don't eat all of the sweeties in 1 go lol, hoped you enjoyed the evening, the cake was lovely.

To all the others who I didn't get a chance to speak to we hope to see you over the coming months.

Many thanks

Andy and Alison Archie and Willow

Steve, Henry, Andy, glad you enjoyed it. Here's shot of those that tucked into some food, the hard core stayed at the bar to look after the pooches but pleased to say they Happy smiley faces, what it's all about

this is the sort of thing that happens when 'the hardcore' venture away from the bar later in the night

Have to agree with all above, very nice evening and always nice to meet and put so many faces to names.

Good job on arranging the meet Gary and also, what a great venue?

The food and menu was absolutely right and staff at the 'Old ship' pub really looked after us well and were particularly relaxed about us taking little Hattie into the back of the restaurant which was nice too.

Have a great summer everyone.

Hi Gary, a slightly delayed BIG THANK YOU for laying on the evening. It was great to actually put a few faces to names. It was a pleasure to meet everybody, especially Steve who got a bit older at the right time, without that we would have missed the brilliant cake.
Note to Gary,please ensure another Birthday is timed right for the next meet.:encouragement:
Best wishes to all, crack on with the jobs ready for the season.
