Lovely to see peeps, old mates and a few new faces even though I missed a few who got off early ... who could blame them with the weather ?!!   Was nice to be able to hang around.. being local, and spend a bit of time with Bill, Alice and Purple Betty.  Looking forward to the craft day girlies                                                                                                                                                                               

  What a great turn out for Alice's birthday party considering the nasty weather, 61 members I counted. Unless someone else knows different lol   Glad you enjoyed yourself Alice, let us know when you're at Squires again and we'll bring your Hug bell back.   Jasen, of Squires, did us proud organising the tables and screens and *reserving the area for us all. He also laid on extra food and an extra serving point so I hope everyone who wanted carvery got it. *I had no idea he would do that, so I sit corrected when I said we couldn't reserve places.   I had a brill time once everyone else 'woke up' (flippin alkies)   Lovely to see folk I hadn't seen in a while and to meet newbies, apologies if I didn't speak with you, it wasn't intentional, if you see me again say hi.   I hope everyone got home without incident.   Ta for the photos Shell.   I've added my few to the calendar, please tag yourself, and please remember not to cover your face or someone else's.      http://www.bikermatch.co.uk/sites/bm/events/gallery/gallery.asp?event_id=2684

  OMG!!  I didn't realise, til after the event, that I'd sat near to Gaz and Amanda and didn't recognise them.   A thousand apologies to you both. I even waved my arms about at Gaz, cos he looked like he was in a trance, and I still didn't realise it was him.   Soz
