I forgot to tell you about " the green behind the gold" yesterday, we have a beautiful Hinterland here, a short drive from the coast, with rainforest and magnificent scenery.

Are you convinced yet to move here?, we would be delighted to show you and your lovely wife the sights if you move up here

Good morning all!!! What a great day we had yesterday,Well done on the pics Soapy,and the organising of yet another meet,your efforts dont go unnoticed mate.

I managed to put some more faces to names and it was nice to speak with a few people i hadnt met,like Bev,Sam, Jockstar and a few i havent seen since the Glasgow meet in November,also im glad to see Jacqui and Craig are settling in ok.

Theres a few others i met who's names i dont remember,maybe Soapy should have listened to Paulines nametag idea! lol.

It was a great meet and we cant wait for the next one.

thanks everyone

pauline did come up with the idea of stickers. but she left them at home. it wouldnt have mattered, she only had about 60
but i will do it the next time.
for all the people who cant remember who they were talking to..........


at least next time you will know faces and wont feel so strange.

it was that big. i spent the day just saying hello to people then moving on

brido and jockstar took photos, so i hope to see them soon.
im sure a few more took photos too


Everyone deserves a pat on the back for making it a fantastic day!

Pauline and I thank you very very much
