Cheers Mate,

Don't tell anyone but we've got plenty of spare charcoal so don't panic! I'll put it in the bongo now so I don't forget!

We're just in Morrison's in a futile attempt to find the last bag of charcoal in the land :?
Just go round the back and grab some pallets they're cheaper.

Hi Guys.
Thanks for a great weekend. Weather was fantastic and so was the company. Special thanks to Jamie and Sharon for the recommendation for the site and also Christine and Ray for the multiple use of their hot water. Here are a few pics:

hi all,
just wanted to say thanks to all who turned up for this weekend.i was a bit worried that the basic facilities at the site would be a bit too basic for some,but everyone seemed to have a great time.i knew that the site would never be full,so i thought it was ideal for a meet if we didn`t know how many would turn up,and of course,there`s no need to book,so it made it better for anyone just turning up at short notice,as a few people did.
one annoying thing was the variation in prices that everyone was charged.i think we paid the most at £14.50 per night,when we`re normally charged £10 or £12,depending on who you get!i think some people were charged for the bongo,plus a car,and a tent!how does that work then? :lol:
we saw some old friends,and made a lot of new ones.i`m sorry if i didn`t manage to get everyone`s forum name,but a huge thanks to everyone who came to say hello.
from my terrible memory..........:

muz and family(oooh,how`s the sunburn alison?)
mike and family
dobby and family
bulwell bongoleers and son :lol: (thanks for the pig and birthday card!!!)
nevets and family(thankyou so much for keeping our kids amused)
triple r(i`m just about to post pics of the famous ten second erection!!!)
mikeonb4c(nice hat,sorry about my randy dog!)
regor(nice bongo!!)
diamond
scanner
Merlot
eliza(thankyou so much for making yourself known to me.i`m glad you came along and had fun checking out all the other bongos.i hope yours arrives soon so that you can join us all at future meets.)

and i`m sure i will add more when i remember more forum names.just uploading pics to photobucket,and will add them later.
bye for now
jamie,sharon and family
