Well I played the double bass for a number of years but I don't own one anymore and even if I did, i think I'd struggle to fit it in the Bongo with all the other associated crap we tend to bring....can also tinker with violin and piano but not in public ;)

Change of plan also in that we are bringing our youngest two (nothing to do with needing an excuse to go see Derek and Sali Mali :oops: )

and in Bangor I can show you all the lovely tower I work in ;) Plus there's the Pier (£1 or so to park I think and the Pier is about 50p entrance), there's a nice pub there as well although might be full of students :lol: does a nice Stottie..mmmm.

We'll have to meet you somewhere as I'm sure we'll not be up at the crack of dawn :)

Wayne got some bongo drums for Christmas we could bring / bang :)
Have a look at this (you older ones may remember the series!)....it`ll give you some ideas about instruments you may be able to playat the meet,like maracas,twangers and plucking instruments..... :lol: and it shows you how to sing in harmony too!!! ........very funny.

I can bring a kazoo :?

Anyone remember the Temple City Kazoo Orchestra, I had their EP in multi-coloured vinyl :oops:

For anyone under 30, vinyl is a type of disc thing that spun around with a needle extracting the sound from it :roll:

We'll meet you for lunch somewhere after you've finished with the weather people..

Debs tour guides are fab, but be prepared to get a little lost... ;)

All joking aside the two Anglesey tours Debbie organised last year were stunning. :D

When is the potential Bangor tour then? - we're not likely to arrive until first thing Saturday due to kid's Friday activities and the joys of the M56 / A55 on a Friday evening. :(

:shock: apart from the Pier i dont know Bangor very well at all :oops: but hopefully there'll be enough parking at the Pier, but there's a free carpark on the front thats not too far away

I guess there's Penrhyn Castle too but it probably isn't open :(

I think Chris knows Bangor pretty well and I'm sure Debs does too :)

Whatever you decide..we'll come and meet you on the Saturday for lunch somewhere.

Can't wait to camp again in Wales... beautiful country !
I love cheese!
