A real Hum-Dinger of a bash! Standing Ovation due to DW for a perfect weekend. Round of applause to the rest of you that were there.


Legendary stuff!!

Can't add much to the reams of cracking pics already here but will chuck on a few anyway.

Image

Image

The Ghost Hunt.

Lead around the houses by a Victorian Undertaker with a twitch, boggley eyes & something of a booming speach impediment. Despite the hoards of stag/hen do's barrelling down the streets, he was a true professional.

Image

At one point an uncouth lout shouted abuse. He paused, looked over his shoulder slowly & bellowed back "Sir, I am working here. How would you like it if I were to come to McDonalds tomorrow"

Shot him dead.

Priceless.

Image

Face hurting from laughter from the walk turned to bellylaughs back at the site up to about 2am. One of the highlights being an X rated Shadow Puppet Show (no publishable names, but you weren't watching DVDs from where we were sitting - best leave the light off next time!!)



Mini convoy out of York for sunday lunch at Acaster Malbis.

Image


Looking forward to your next "do" Mike.

What a cracking weekend,started off Friday with a SPOT of rain :shock: ,but things then just got better and better and better as the weekend went on.

Great big thanks to Mike and Jo for doing us all proud with this one,well done both for your efforts,also thanks to Gillian as usual for the entertainment,not only for the children,but also for the big children who Im sure thoroughly enjoyed playing with balloons and toy aeroplanes.It was a joy to see the smiles on Neils,Waynes,Petes and Plattys faces as they ran about trying to see who could throw their glider the furthest or do the most loop de loops
(thanks there to ex Wing Commander Keith for his skill in glider wing adjustment) :wink:

Mike,love the photo "UNKNOWN BONGO RITUAL",but you cant see the face,wonder who it could be?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was nice to see all the regular faces again and nice to meet and get to know new ones,ie,Heather and Garry,Mr n Mrs GraniteTim,The Munkees,Hotpot (properly this time,and love the conversion),John and Sharon (The Handymen) and Chris (Gunga)...Chris you should`ve kept shtum about Muz`s photo of our Neils Bongo behind mine. Couldve had a few going about me having a proper rear facing AFT convertion :lol: :lol:

Once again thanks Mike for your time and effort,your a star.

I`ll add some photos when Ive put some on photobucket,theres about 6 dozen to sort through

by the way,how tall was that Ghost walk Guide?? was he on stilts??

Brian n Jean

Thanks Mike and Jo for a brill meet. Had such a good weekend haven't laughed so much in ages, my sides are still aching! Really good to put faces to names and catch up with all the familiar faces, everybody so friendly. It was a blast. Not much more can say that hasn't already been said, but that ghost walk guy was priceless. Put us down for the next meet please! Also enjoyed very much mini convoy to Acaster Malbis for cracking Sunday lunch with Mr Munkey clan and Dabs. Great pics guys, sorry didn't get my camera out was too busy enjoying it all! You peeps all are the best, keep the photos coming :D
love Mutley ;)
