Ravs

I spoke to him as he was strolling around Trafalgar Square with Swoop. I'm beginning to think they've eloped.

If nothing is yet decided, I would have to say that Sat. would suit me better than Fri. - easier travelling.

lol...no eloping going on.

Just got off the phone with Beet1e...the plan is to hook up at the Iron Duke, a pub right in Victoria Station (train station, not tube station) at 6.30pm. Swoop will probably be along after that but we can have a pint or a bite to eat and by the time we meet I will have spoken to him and organised where to meet.

I may have a client get together to do on Saturday night so I can't get too too sloppy on Friday, but I'm looking forward to meeting whomever shows.

Rgr all that. I'll be along at around 6:30, and perhaps we can walk up into Trafalgar Square/Piccadilly.

Curv - still ROFLing here about a certain person being on a certain website!

Hi guys

I should be attending too! I'm travelling down with Sparks from Peterborough on the train. Although he's returning on Friday night I will be staying over at the Bonnington Hotel in Bloomsbury. I was fortunate to get a lastminute offer on the 3 star hotel for only £29! I still haven't asked if I can leave early but what the hell, I'm coming!

I was wondering whether we could vist the Imperial War Museum on Lambeth Walk on Saturday?

Are you still heading back on the 30th Curv? I'm going to be travelling back to Plymouth through London on the 31st, I'd forgotten about this otherwise I would have been in touch.

Sorry I couldn't make it guys.

Curval · « **Reply #36 on:** May 30, 2004, 07:02:55 PM »

Well guys, that was alot of fun.

I met Ravs, Sparks, Nexx and Beet1e (Swoop I'd met previously).

Damn fine bunch of individuals...and I haven't laughed as hard as that in a long time. Next time I know to just call Nexx and that will get a much larger group together.

Sparks has the only digital shots of the group..mine need to be developed. Hopefully his wife will let him use the broadband to post it.

Next time the group will be much larger...but I really enjoyed it guys. Thanks for being such great hosts.

Good to meet you too Curval, and also Swoop and Ravs who I hadn't met before!

As for the pics, I'd surely want mine censored!!! Eeeeep!

Curval! Glad you enjoyed it. I think we all did!

I'm hoping you'll be able to post some fond memories on your squad website.

Furball, I did...it was just that I was with a client, his son and a guy who works in his office. Basically I was concentrating on them and smooshing.

Hendon is very very well done though...credit is due where deserved. This is particularly true for the Battle of Britain exhibit. Man that was a great little show they put on.

I could have spend a thousand pounds in that gift shop too....luckily having to drag everything hoime prevented me from going nuts.

Excellent fun and great to meet you all!

Looking forward to the next time.

And Curval....it's a pint - never a half!

Ravs

lol Ravs,

Glad you pointed that one out. I just didn't want to get too wobbly too early.

Did you get into trouble at home for being late...and drunk?

ravells · « **Reply #43 on:** May 31, 2004, 05:05:33 PM »

lol! Nah....piece of cake!

Ravs

Sparks · « **Reply #44 on:** May 31, 2004, 05:50:44 PM »
