Looks like we won't be coming now. We are in the middle of moving house and have hit a couple of hiccups - real shame, needed a bit of R&R and good company
That's a shame - good luck with your house move & maybe see you another time.

Have just started a group chat for all those attending this Meet :hi:
We are loading the motorhome now so safe travels & see you there!
Don't forget arrivals from 1pm instead of 3pm are agreed so you can make the most of your stay.

Should be there about lunchtime which will give enough time to erect barricades to ward off thirsty Popeyes :D

It was lovely to meet so many new people plus a few regulars last night. Looking forward to our son Matthew and his girlfriend Coral arriving later for a couple of nights. No ginger jokes until after they go please, we have heard them all in the last 25 years!

Found this old fossil yesterday. It doesn’t look like @rangitira or @Popeye so my best guess is some sort of tubeworm. The stone looks a lot older than the usual Cretaceous period so a gues would be Jurassic. Any fossil experts out there? Whatever it is seems to wind around in a circle (picture shows same one on both sides of stone) and is about 8” long plus a couple of other bits

Cheers....

It really was great fun, thank you so much much @Wombles for spotting it and making my lovely boy and his girlfriend so welcome. Also Ginny @Ginster who can floss!! Looking forward to more later, having a rest at the moment as walking to Seatown and back before walking to the festival wasn’t one of my better ideas.

I can only echo the above from Mike and Toni @Nana - had a great time and it was good good to meet new and old friends. Especially a pleasure to see the old sea dog @rangitira and Maureen on such good form.

Sincere thanks to @Wombles Alan and Karen for the organisation- everybody enjoyed it

Thank you Karen and Alan @Wombles for organising such a great weekend. We had such fun and met so many lovely new people. Sorry @Nana but I've managed to get two loads of washing dry! Mind you I think the rain is due to arrive in time for my drive to Bristol airport so I shouldn't feel too smug.
