Which b&b have you booked Marc? Always good to know which ones are close to the Ibis/main drinking area

You'll have to give us a review after you've stayed there. The Ibis is getting too expensive these days, once a couple of people have booked for the set date, so always good to know which alternatives are close by

Shame you won't be coming out with us afterwards, although may be a wise move

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this guys, Mrs Ed is due her op on the 12th involving at least one night's stay depending on whether keyhole works.

So unfortunately for her I'm going to be unleashed on the kitchen

It'll be a special occasion for all you guys anyway and it'll be a grand evening

Sorry you and Ben can't make it this year

I hope everything goes well with Mrs. Ed's op though and wish her luck

looks like i won't be able to make this meet now so removed myself off the list .

sorry Ed for leaving you on the list .

No worries Ian, it's looking like even transport would have been a problem

If anyone's still looking for cheap rooms I just released two singles at the Corner House where me and my lad stayed last year - friendly and including brekky

Only 5 mins walk max.

Hi Theresa and everyone!
Unfortunatley I'm having to cancel, grr...okay the good news is the mrs is pregnant and we have to go into south tees for first scan that day sooooo....mrs comes first, even before the coupe..;-)
Cumbria Park Hotel (B&B) had booked was 40 odd quid bed and breakfast and had vg reviews...
Apologies to you and Rob...next time for sure!!

best

marc

That's great news about your family expansion Marc, like me this year's event will have to take second place to the needs of the missus

Diary for next year!

Sorry to see that you can't make it Marc, but congratulations to you and your Mrs on the pregnancy
You'd better sort yourselves out a babysitter for next year

Thanks for the info on the hotel, will look into that one.

Again sorry you can't make this Marc and also congratulations to you both

Janice had a new knee put in last thursday, they kept her in for eight days due to some complications. I'm still planning on going, by that I mean I've paid for the hotel and train and really, really hope to make this.

Pity you can't make it Nismo

Give my best wishes to Janice Ronnie, a few weeks and it'll be chocks away!

Shame Marc was looking forward to a catch up.

Hope you'll be there too sparky.

..the boys are back in town !

looking forward to meeting you all....is there a plan about where/when?

all the best richard

Where are you staying Richard? The meal is usually around 8-8.30pm and Rob usually texts me to tell me how things are going on the day.

You'll find most of us in the Ibis hotel on and off from around 5pm, regardless of where we may be staying overnight ;D

I'll pm you my mobile number so you have at least one contact to let you know what's happening

fab....I live just outside carlisle and so will just catch the bus in so that I can join in with a few drinks. I'll see people at the Ibis

all the best richard

Rob's got the babycham in the chiller for you guys

Hope to see you there

Showing your age Ronzie old boy.

Oh and tone down the happy banter a bit so I don't feel so miserable about not going

babycham, it doesn't get much better than that ! see you Saturday sparkyman..I would bring the black LE but I don't want to get her dirty !

Hi everyone, just wishing y'all a great time at Rob's tonight
Safe driving in the forecast high winds..

Disappointed, as is Ben, not to be able to make it this year, especially under the circumstances, but on the bright side Mrs Ed is now back home and amazingly perky after her successful keyhole op the previous day

11/10 again for the things the NHS does so well.

I'm glad Mrs Ed is back home and that the op was successful

Shame none of you can make it this year, but will hopefully see you there next year

Are you sure the forecasted high winds isn't just sparkyman and steamer on Sunday morning

LOL


Storm Force

Sorry guys won't be there,please give my best to Rob and Sophia,
Cheers
Paul

have a good one guys and gals gutted i can't be there

Some pics would be good!

I'd like to say a huge thankyou from all of us at la mezzaluna, it's always a pleasure having you lot over.

It was really good to see and catch up with all who made it this year, and those who never were missed!

Sofia has asked me to say a really big thankyou, to all for your kind words, and generosity. she couldn't beleive it when she opened her card this morning and was completely lost for words. You lot are truly an amazing bunch.

I did get 1 picture simon

Sorry Ronnie...



Gota give the guy his due! Goes out, gets plastered, then turns up for breakfast fresh a daisy and has 2 pints with his brekkie ....perks of public transport ey Ron?

Thanks again, to all who made it, specially those who traveled really far, hope you all get home safe. Hopefully we'll get a better turn out next year. Look forwards to seing you all again soon.

Now roll on Torino

Haha, how did you sleep with that buried in your heid?

Thanks for the update Angelo, great it was a success as ever. Maybe someone else has pics?
