Firth of Forth

To celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Bongo Fury owners club, Sunday 24th February 2013 has been designated as National Bongo Day. What we have in mind is a series of events in various locations across the UK & Ireland where Bongonauts can get to meet each other and perhaps have a Sunday lunch.

That would be absolutely fine, I am sure they will be able to squeeze in a couple more, If not I will bring some soup and a roll just in case.

My daughter in law's father works for a breakdown company near the bridge. She was suggesting we have one at each end "Just in case" :lol: :roll:
The photo opportunity can hardly be missed - 19 bongos and one on a flatbed cross the FRB. :lol: :lol: =D> =D>
