Just arrived back home in Cumbria Uncle-dropped Dom off on the way.

what a fantastic afternoon and evening-(although if truth be known I have been feeling the effects of such conviviality all day)-the ties not mine -btw-although what use the wool tie I was wearing will ever be again - god only knows-it has quite an array of drink and food on it -I can definately recognise-the sharaz stain the rest are unrecognisable- gives me a great idea for Mr.Eric Glennie to pursue though- a spill and stain proof -drinkers tie ( run with it Eric -it`s a stupendously good idea).

So good to meet yourself-Tom and VT - after so many online conversations. I second Uncles thoughts- with a Big thankyou for FNB and Jeeves for allowing repbrobates like us to meet - via the Big mans website.

speaking with Dom on the way back -I understand you and he have cooked up quite a scheme-for the festive season -as a gift -as it were.
should be fun.

Real shame G.U.Gomez couldn`t make it I would really have liked to meet him.

I think I will now have a quiet sit down - with 2 headache tablets and a hot mug of cocoa.

Thanks again to all concerned- for a super dayand especially to Tom for the equine tour - hopefully next year we can make it a bigger event with more members.

Do  you think we should have it every year on the Saturday before Christ the kings feast day.

Sounds like you all had a lovely time, and many drinks were taken.

Imagine if we had been there: you would have been seeing double long before you were all drunk.

If you are meeting again next year, we will ensure to keep the weekend free.

It`s a bit of a nightmare when Paul over indulges with alcohol (I have a much higher tolerance to booze than him) and I end up having to carry him around for the remainder of the night>
