Grumpy · 09-04-2019, 07:40 PM

Firstly Mike, thanks for all your hard work 're organizing the weekender.

I'm in for the three nights and will call the hotel tomorrow.

Guys, really appreciate the posts, and again I can only apologise to the guys who are now missing out through no fault of their own, I am sad about that but hopefully there will be plenty of opportunity in the future to meet up.

We were building up nicely in a controlled manner and in 24 hrs we have had to roll a double six and start all over, Steve , you have been an integral,part of this from the start, hope we can still do the PowerPoint together

Liz, brilliant you are off the mark, Helen is the contact as previously posted, the rates are agreed so although I am not seeing her until Thursday just go ahead and book....did she give you any "code" to quote?

Geoff and Mark are heading for portmeirion tomorrow to finalise the arrangements there, all jobs that were on the list but now happening twice as quick,.......hey Liz can I borrow your tag line,

Cheers everyone, ......never give up

Lol, “never give up, never surrender” from the fantastic film, Galaxy Quest.

Stafford made the booking, he’s not sure who he spoke to, but we thought we’d get booked.

Well done again on getting this sorted and the itinerary looks great

10-04-2019, 07:55 PM

So, here we are the day after the day before.....believe me we will have such a laugh about yesterday.......

Geoff and Mark braved the elements ( wall to wall sunshine ! ) and went to sample the delights of portmeirion, we knew it would be good but this is one not to be missed, the guys got a great reception from an enthusiastic events team and polished off the planned itinerary, which is as follows,

Arrive at the castle 13:00 to 13:30,

Two course Sunday lunch will be £23.95, this gets you the complimentary ticket into the village which would normally cost £12.00.

We then propose to do the voting for the trophies.

Have a wander,enjoy the village,as I said previously it's where the prisoner was filmed and is a unique stunning setting.

Then when either visitor numbers drop off or when the gates close we get to ride the bikes into the village for a photo shoot.

We then head back to the hotel.

This promises to be a day that will last in the memory for a long long time, the guys were spoiled today, we have a dedicated dining area booked in the castle and the food was top drawer.

I have asked for an electronic version of the menu to be pinged to me which will be posted as soon as I get it, this will be good folks

Stevedesmo · 09-04-2019, 08:11 PM

No worries mike, I need to buy a new laptop first, times against us as the images etc still need pulling together, but I’ll do what I can and we can catch up over a beer in the next week or so as time permits
If you fall over 10 times, get up 11!

11-04-2019, 10:08 PM

Dave, so sad you cannot rearrange, I am blown away by your pm, if you are keeping you reservation or still in north Wales on the original dates, we will come to you and show you some routes, coffee at the ponderosa and have the criac, cheers fella

Hi Char, weekender playlist is coming along nicely, keep those suggestions coming, I think I have over 60 now!

DaveR · 15-04-2019, 08:49 AM

Having done a review of our diary with my other half, it seems I overlooked a couple of things we already have booked up for the early May bank holiday & so am unable to attend.
It certainly looks like being a great event & I hope that you all enjoy it.
Have fun!
Hope to meet you all at some stage

Dave

Hi Dave,

Sorry to hear that Dave, there is always the Lincolnshire Italian show, 15th June I recall, a few of us from the North West are attending together with Gazza and the gang so that should be good if you can make it.

sadly it means there will be no best blue S4r competition this year as Chris cant make it either..............

Apologies for the date change mate, hope to meet up soon,

Mike
