Indeed; my most sincere best wishes, get well soon Wamadeus.
I hope everyone has a great time today! I will be at a family party... If we ever get there... My daughter has been sat on the toilet for the last half an hour. Too much information! Hahaha!!
Those who actually made it, mostly the usual suspects, were:
Mike Nomic Candy Custard Falkor George Guest0. Henry Wilcox Mellifluent One Messy Jojo Messy Laura Mordicus Mostly Xan Mud-ndp Smiley
with three others - Sammy-Jane, Wamadeus, and Wam in Bed there in spirit.
The card is below, and I'm sure the photo will appear shortly. I think we set another Bristol record - 28 no-shows
I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to the meet, the diehards, the occasional visitors, and the Bristol newbies alike, and I hope you all enjoyed yourselves; I think I got to chat to everyone, if only briefly. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible, especially returning newbies, at future Bristol and other meets.
We'll be doing it all again on 16th August, and praying in the interim for decent weather, good mud, and availability of models.
Thanks Mike for arranging it! Don't be shy ladies & gents we are a friendly bunch.I was nervous about meeting everyone & finding the pub in Bristol for the first time!Please come & join us in August.Esp the LADIES!!!
the splunch was great, thanks Mike, had a difficult time choosing between the mud or fountains, we went to the fountains instead, looking at the mud pics it does look great. i did get to play with the fishes in Bristol aquarium, they have notices about you not touching the fish but nothing about the fish touching you, the rays were very friendly, and i'm not talking about the bloke ray behind the......no leave it!!!
Mike, sorry we couldn't go on the Sunday. My phone died, which we discovered was due to the charger failing.. so while I thought it was charging it actually wasn't and meant I couldn't even preserve any battery life for the next day. If I'd been aware it was failing I'd have turned it off Saturday to save a bit.
That mud does look great and I hope to get in it at some point
Thanks so much Mike for organizing another fun splunch (highlight has to be the mis- spellings of a chinese restaurant menu haha! Hot salty fash anyone???) Pls accept my apologies for not posting sooner (blame a fantastic thunderstorm Monday night!!! & knackeredness yesterday lol!) It was just soo hot on Sunday, chilling out & fountains won....hopefully mud next time
