Well done Duncan & Amanda for booking top weather and what a turnout!

Great to meet up with some of the regulars we hadn't seen since, erm, yesterday, and good to meet some new faces as well - especially SeventiesBoy & Mrs SeventiesBoy. And the SeventiesBoy Jrs :wink:

Thanks also to Harry & Trish for the chicken lunch :wink:

Don't worry Ray, we did take some pics, we were in super-stealth mode, most taken from Cheshire :lol:

Thank you, thank you, thank you =D> =D> =D>

We turned up late due to Jnr Seventiesboy having rugby training but turn up we did, and what an excellent decision that was :P

Superb weather

Superb venue

But MOST importantly superb company.

It was so good to meet people that I have "spoken" to on these boards over the last few weeks.

Thank you ALL for being so welcoming =D> =D> =D>

Top day :P

Looking forward to the next meet already \:D/
Why?...........Because somebody might wave back.
