Be careful with it mate, as you know it cost me an awful amount of money.

I’ll probably be there as I’m in Santa Ponsa from 23 September – 3 October (on my own this time as sis going away with her daughter).

TBH, I’m a bit apprehensive ……. so it’s a trade-off between feeling out of my comfort zone and wanting to meet you all!!

I’m sorry that I wont get to meet my fellow-Taffy, Yozef, & disappointed that DB and Mrs DB aren’t going as it looks like I may be the only “oldie” there!!

Yay Jen, it will be great to meet you, we will all look after you I promise & put you safely in a taxi home.

Looking forward to meeting you, too, Deb.

Don't worry Jen, as Debs says we will all look after you.

I think Micks older than you Jen

at Mark.

ramblinman how to drink bo

the rest how to play golf

Gotta say that i'm gutted as well mate

Come on Yozef










you know you want to

i know mark,poxy shutdowns.

trouble is they are my bread n butter,i must make hay while the sun shines,could be on 38 hrs for a while after this one,so it's gonna be head down and @rse up for about 8-10 weeks.

plus side is it may be my last one and i will book a nice break some where when it's all done.

already booked the sol m/t for next may,perhaps some mf crew will be about then

thing is deb officially i'm supposed to be lodging in bridgewater,hinkley point power station being about 10-15 miles past there and what with working 26 x hour shifts at a time it is deemed to far to travel safety wise.

but there are 3 drivers and 3 cars so we take it turn about,if you aint driving you get a kip.

we also only get one weekend off a month so i would be very lucky if my weekend fell on the same time as the meet

whatever happens i'm booking a week next year,come hell or high water

We will most def have plenty of drinks for you Ian & Jan.

Look forward to next years meet then

Just won't be the same without you both mate. Couldn't you work & send Jan out to us.

Well I know how it is Ian, sometimes you've just gotta gnash your teeth. The chances of all of us being able to make it on the same dates year after year are remote anyway I'd say, they'll always be some that can't make it.

I like the idea that Jan comes as your emissary though

....................A gots a great idea!!

change meet to first week in november!!!!!

How about we do both dates Davie?

Mark thatd be brilliant!
But D canny get time off work
till november.
Pain

Does anyone know if moocher will be there?

Who's that then?

He is hoping to be Deb's, but he is back now, so hopefully he will let us all know.

Oh well, two weeks today we'll have the cases packed and will be ready to go, we'll try and have an early night as we have the dreaded 6 am flight, so we leave here at about 3.15 am, Gatwick is 45 mins or so for us, park the car and get in the terminal takes another 30 mins, so that's about 90 mins before departure, with having already pre booked the seats that's not cutting it too fine.

Jan will be nudging me to leave from 2 am onwards though

Guessing game for us as to how long it will take to Gatwick from here Like you we have prebooked seats so not too worried & car park is 2 min bus ride to terminal.
