I refer to the thread above. A few of the Crouchers are meeting at the pub at Fambridge (I think it's called The Ferryboat) on Saturday evening.

There was some confusion over the date - hence this clarification!

See you there.

I should be on the pontoon at the Yacht Station from about 5pm onwards if anybody would like to stop by and say 'hello'.

 

[D&T]

We will also be there, probably nearer 6.30 - 7.00pm

 

[Ianqv]

See you all there!!

Indeed. Only trouble is... I can't remember the names and I'll probably mix up the faces!

Ianqv (French Connection) was there but said he didn't meet anyone cos he didn't know anyone. If he can't spot you lot there's no hope for him

what shame! especially as there have been recent photos of me and Bruce on the forum. Also in attendance: Bru's mate Rik, Simon14b, the Tomahawks, Mardi-gras and one half of D&T. It was good.

We were first sitting at a table in front of the bar right by the front door, but the pub was packed and by 8ish we'd moved to a table at the back of the restaurant. Oh well, next time we'll be better organised!

Getting lost

Perhaps we need some sort of ECMF burgee..?

 

[MoodySabre]

There are YBW burgees

Hi All,

Yes we were there.... sorry if we didn't see anyone. As for remembering the pics from a couple of weeks back - I could just about remember my own name by the end of the night!!!

P.S Many thanks Roger for not mentioning our mooring up attempt yesterday!!!

Fab idea!!!! I propose a pic of Rogers deep water bouy on it!!
That's great for boat spotting - We could also have some "pin on" badges to spot individuals!! (on the reverse it could say, if to drunk please return to.... )

It reminded me of the old joke about the station announcer:

"The train now arriving on platforms 3,4 and 5 is coming in sideways"

It took many hours of training to do all that without a bow thruster!!!

heather and i went but didnt recognise anyone, there was about 15 of us from the marina... we were the drunk ones in the conservatory with ian and sarah.
if we arrange it again maybe a rose behind the ear would be an idea...lol

 

[Tomahawk]

Coments like .. not able to get drunk in a pub come to mind!!!

I heard of the meeting on Sat PM... but didn't think I could make it.. When it came clear tat we could get along I called the Ferryboat and asked about the meeting.. they said they had a group of 15 arriving at 7:00 ..

When we got there I recognised Chatting Lil and Brigantia from their photo but we couldn't find the big group of 15... so eight if us went into the restaurant ..

sober or what?

 

[Bru]

So ... am I right in thinking that the party the staff were expecting to take up most of the conservatory was actually the West Wick contingent of the Crouch Posse?

Confused of Fambridge

looks like it, but noone told us outsiders!

no wonder we were all so confused - including the woman at the bar! We were saying "no not us guv".

 

[Bru]

It does rather look as though we're incapable of organising a piss up in a pub!
