Looks like i might not be able to do the Friday as work have just said i can't have the day off as a few colleagues are off that day/week as well. So, i'll be there either Friday night (doubtful) or probably Saturday (more likely). gutted.

Andy,

No wories mate, see you Sat. :)

Might be able to make it up Friday now, but i won't know till the Wednesday before and it's all dependant on how busy my section is with the quantity of jobs coming in on the day. Fingers crossed i may well be able to book off half a day.

wooo! its ok! strange flavour. might get better with time.......

good strange or bad strange? not that it really matters, i'm quite partial to the swift half of something strange, and if it doesn't get better with time you can rest assured that it'll get better with quantity, it's all good by the second gallon!

cheers!

no problem at all mate, bringing non-members is covered in the OP. i recently took a friend who was a non-memeber to the rough close meet, i got him to read through that thread before we went (especially decorum's OP) just so he had a good idea of what to expect and what would be expected of him, it made me more comfortable if nothing else.

cheers

Nothing wrong with shiny, it all starts out that way. My new hammock sleeve is shiny, lol.
