It is a small price to pay for our combined happiness

By the time you've got through the brewery, the buffet, the new toys, and exchange of views on saturday, the BBQ, all those great guys and girls you've exchanged views with on this site*, and chilling out, Sunday A.M., you won't even notice you've missed the old tug - Oops, sorry I can't think who it is I mean.

*I remember last year, at the bar in the Campanile, Jim(Hogan) smiling at me, and holding out his hand to say: "I know who you are, you talk just the way you write". That was when all the inhibitions went and I knew that it was all going to be great, all weekend - blast, but favourite nieces come first!!! - But plenty of new people and old friends, I'm dying to see this time round.



Let me be the first to say; what a programme, what an organiser Rob is, can't fail to be the high point of our year again.
