I'm glad that you all had such a great time. I dont think I'be ever seen a report of a meet where people have said, "That was dreadful not doing that again." I think that shows something about how special RCers are.

"Camberwell & Box Hill "  see - more UK names.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

You all said you didn't mind when I checked with you all!  ;D 

- want me to remove it Ted?  It is a very friendly face, so what's wrong??
I have more photos but won't post them yet - Morrie might want to post some of his 100 or so!!  ;)  ;)

It was a joke Wiggy - I'm sure there were more of the back of my head than the front though. Just got back to the country after a wonderful dinner with my sons and girlfriend.

Phew that's OK then , Ted - I do have quite a few with the back of your head but I chose carefully!!

See here then!  These were taken just before Leonie arrived - bother she isn't featuring!  Everyone else is there though!  Including john who only saw the notice about the meet two nights before and decided the night before - good for him!!
