Hi All. I need to get a few things off my chest about the weekend and Im afraid some of you are not going to like it
Well, those of you that didnt come
It was FANBLOOMINTASTIC and you missed a great weekend. It was favoured by all the Gods of nature, the land was mostly dry, the trees were positioned just right, the weather was wonderful, to sum up where we were
It was just right.
I was asked many times how I felt over the weekend and in many ways I didnt know how to answer, I was so busy thinking about things that needed to be done, talking to people, making sure this and that were going to plan that I found it hard to collect my thoughts. But, Sunday rolled around and a feeling of contentment settled upon me, I realised that the weekend was going exactly how I had envisioned it. We all paint pictures in our imaginations and we have expectations and hopes all thrown in together. I had the rare but pleasurable experience of having it all come true, a wonderful experience.
I have to say though that visions and dreams dont make reality. Its the guys and girls on bcuk that have done that. True, those that did not come have not fully experienced it, there is no doubt however that you should still be included in the thanks and gratitude I extend to you all for helping make bcuk a great place. The meet up was a resounding success because of you all. :notworthy Nearly everyone that frequents this site is willing to spend time and effort helping others and thats what its about, thats what the meet ups are about and thats why it was a success.
Descriptions of what went on have already been posted, those of you that did not go have a good idea of what we got up to and what you missed. Well see you at the next one and the one after that Ive got about 300 photos to go through and Ill get some of them up for people to see. If there are any photo that people have I would appreciate a copy of them. John aka; e11even is writing a perspective summary of the weekend which will go up soon and then be transferred to the main site when its all running smoothly, it will be good reading Im sure. Any other bloggs or general thoughts posted would be great, to have a record of it in the years to come will be a great thing to look back on.
Now The Knife Its famous already and I think it should stay that way. Peter did a fantastic job on the knife and it really does represent the ethos and nature of the bcuk meet up. So, Ive decided that it will not be raffled off, given as a prize and such things but it will be a type of bcuk Meet Up mascot and it will come to all future meet up for all to see.
Im really happy that everyone likes the T-shirts. It was a nightmare getting them in time for the meet, but it was well worth it. It was great to see them on people and they will be great for helping identify bcuk members at the smaller regional meets that you organise for yourselves. Ill get some pics up and get them in the shop ASAP.
It was a great weekend, spent with great people at a great location. So, to sum up my little epistle Thanks guys and girls for helping me feel content, it was a wonderful experience.
