Well what a great weekend =D> =D> =D> organised by Anna Jimmy & John it was our first proper mini meet--being newbies it's a bit concerning about mixing with people you do'nt know but there all mad :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ----------------------in a nice sort of way :D joking apart everyone made us welcome with people popping in for a drink & or a chat with Christine drinking a bottle of wine & ended up a bit the worse for wear :oops: :oops: but obviously i looked after her (thats the sort of bloke i am) like eating her fish & chips for her besides my pie & chips :lol: :lol: i told her the next morning how good they were =P~

Anna & Jimmy (amazing people must be well into their 50s) welcomed everyone on arrival & worked non stop all weekend especially with the barbie & Gary's 50th birthday cake which both were superb =D> =D> =D> =D>
Anyway were both looking forward to the next meet so see you all whenever =D> =D>
sorry for going on--but the pics are brilliant weve got seals- boats-bongo's-barbies- beach buggies (if thats the right word) & most of all the mad BONGO crowd. thanks to everyone for making it an enjoyable weekend for us both
Regards Ray & Christine

It's only easy when you know the answer!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the weather during the days was very pleasant, but perhaps a little bracing in the evenings :lol: :lol:
Many thanks to Anna and Jimmy for all their hard work, Technophobe for the home-brewed beer, Nevets for the cubby box and, of course, Manda for the mini roll :lol: :lol:
It was really good to meet up with old friends, after the long winter break, and to finally meet some whose photos I had seen so many times. Also several newbies there - hope we didn't put you off too much :lol: :lol:
Deepest sympathies to scanner - it must have been dreadful, having to put your foot out of the bed to turn the heating down in your "mansion" :lol: :lol:

What a fantastic weekend :!: :D :D . It was really good to meet other folks and put real names to forum names :shock: :shock: . The photos already posted tell it all and will be a reminder for a long time to come. Our special thanks to Anna and Jimmy =D> =D> =D> =D> who not only acted as reception but distributed the take-away on Friday #-o #-o and provided us all with a great BBQ on Saturday. :lol: 8). :lol: After being surrounded by Bongos their Eriba looked a little lonely when we left early on Monday. Thanks also to francophile for suggesting the site and meet.

I am thrilled to bits, that you all enjoyed the weekend as much as we did :D It was great to meet new and old friends and One newbie, brought a tear to my eye when he gave my a beautiful crystal butterfly as a gift with a lovely card when he was leaving. It was lovely young Robert from the Bexleyboy team. Thank you Robert :) They are lovely folks.
Thank you all for the unexpected and lovely gifts and the donations to the meet of food, that gorgeous Jellybean cake from Mikexgough , the wine, beer etc etc . Well! I could go on forever. Thankyou :D
Thank you for all your kind words and thanks. It really was ,my pleasure :D You are a terrific bunch and the way everyone helped each other was just great. :D I have so many people to thank , that it would take forever. There was so much a feeling of all being one ,which made for a great warmth between us all :D
Really sorry that I missed my buggy ride with Dreamwarrior :( saying goodbyes) but hope I can make it next time
The photos are great and I will be looking at them all evening probably.
Thankyou all =D> =D> =D>
