Firth of Forth

To celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Bongo Fury owners club, Sunday 24th February 2013 has been designated as National Bongo Day. What we have in mind is a series of events in various locations across the UK & Ireland where Bongonauts can get to meet each other and perhaps have a Sunday lunch.

We want pictures or video if it all comes off, including the bit where Matt spouts steam ;-)

Seriously hope not, Matt spouting steam that is!

Yes, we're definitely coming, snow or no snow. Getting ridiculously excited at the thought of such a special occasion being the Bongo's first 2013 excursion. What time do we need to get there - and (with apologies for being a fortnight behind the times) are we too late to book some soup?

If the 2 Bridges is closed we might be able to use their Car Park as an overflow if required. Provided that they don't block it off.

It looks like I am going to lower the tone then. My hair is a mess after a wee puff of wind and I am not due for a shave for another month or so. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
