Pauline, this thread runs to 14 pages already! There's obviously sufficient interest to proceed so please open a specific Event column.
Also confirm the date plus berthing arrangements (cost?), dining arrangements (price?), request deposits (yes!) and start a new list.
What peeps wear is irrelevant if mooring, eating and drinking is chaos - you could lean on Scuttlebutt Cherbourg organisers for tips about what went wrong on the night.
I recall that The Waters Edge restaurant in the marina seats about 50 at most.

Malaprop,
i don't think i've ever spoken to you before but can I just say that I find your post very officious and offensive, especially as you haven't even put your name down as an interested party.
I take it that by now, you've read Brendan's reply to your post and are up to speed with how this meet is usually organised and how things will be panning out.
You are very welcome to attend, as is everyone, but as helpful as you think it may be, Brendan is in no need of your organisational skills.
And may I just add that you obviously don't know me, or you would have realised that my comments re a what to wear forum were very tongue in cheek.
I hope that this clears up matters as far as organisational interference is concerned and hope that this can now be put behind us.
If you wish to attend this meeting, which on past occasions has been huge fun, please cut and paste the latest list, add your name, number of guests and update the running total.
If you wish to continue this conversation, might I suggest you do so via PM.
well said Pauline, I also find it offensive that there is a reference to Scuttlebutt in Cherbourg going wrong on the night, by somebody who has only attended once.

The only major dissaster was last year when someone ate my specialy ordered starter! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
