thought the fancy dress was superb,brill costumes,think everyone enjoyed themselves!
big thanks to everyone involved,its not just the person planning it,its the other people who stay in the background but offer there little bit towards the meet to make them complete,they all know who they are,thankyou.

I think the pictures tell the story really well,well done everyone give yourselves a pat on the back!

I must admit being woken at 1.30 on a stormy Saturday morning by Harry and being told the awnings gone, my heart sank, nothing we could do at that time in the morning.
The early hours daylight Saturday i was looking at the damage caused by hurricane Harry ,and thought well that's it ,and i felt like packing up and going home. Then granitetim came up to me looking at the damage and said here's the tenner i owe towards the marquee fund. I just looked at him and burst out laughing.
After we took the marquee down i had a good look and said we can still use it we will just be short about a third. and the rest as they say is history, I think i can get the damaged poles replaced ,if not its still a good size marquee.
Everyone helped with comments and ideas and we did it together, so thanks to you all for a great (muddy) weekend.

Hi All,

What a brill weekend, (except for the last 30 secs

)
Thanks Jetsta for organising , and thanks to all who helped push me out of my sticky situation, should be getting the damage sorted next weekend, curtesy of Wayne!!!Looks like we'll have a three tone instead of a two tone bongo for a short while.
Once again thanks to all,
