I will go through the thread and provide location details to all those who have confirmed they are coming. If anyone needs any info before I get round to sending it drop me a PM . :D

Well that was an excellent day, I haven’t laughed so much in ages.

A massive thanks to @Paradox for organising it and to @Bigjobs for making it work!

It was an impressive turnout and good to meet a fair few people too.

I managed to take a few unflattering photos and I even remember a few names.
I apologise if I haven’t put the two together correctly or if I’ve forgotten yours.
If anyone can help, I'll edit them

Next time I might even get my feet off the ground!

Finally I’ll leave you to guess which one of them said what –

“Hee Hee Hee. You just said Uranus”
“It’s a planet!”
“No it’s not, it’s a bum!”
“Sigh”

Thanks @Bigjobs and @Paradox for arranging this, and thanks bigjobs for getting Old no.7 sorted with the ropes, he had a whale of a time :thumb

Thanks to everyone that turned up and made it such a great day, especially TLR, AndyJ, SubOffender for all their help, and of course Jack, what a guy.

Police turned up and were very understanding, First time I've ever been called in by a ship.

I feel slightly wrong today at work. May have been something to do with that bottle of JD I consumed Saturday night. :/

Thanks to all involved, was a cracking weekend. :D
