I think a get together here in UK will be great. I live about 25min away from Bobby and Bev Walker doesnt live that far away...only a couple of hours away.

What we can do is get all the UK peoples to list where they live and we can arrange somewhere cental. How does that sound.

Sorry Barb, but I can't afford it. Wish I could...
Title: Re: Anyone interested in having a get together in England
Post by: barb (Fry) on October 19, 2008, 03:29:46 PM
well I'm not an organiser but I seems to me that Nottingham would be kinda central to all.
Bev, Barbara and Bobby being north and Paula, Julie and myself being South.
Rhona would have the futherest to travel unless we all go to Ireland.
Bradley has given up and returned to SA, are you still there Bradley ?

I did a search and there are loads of central cheap city hotels.  I know someone in Nottingham who could make recommendations - for eating out or other ideas.

What say you all to a city break meet in Nottingham ?

Obviously the date would be somewhat in the future due to Barbara and Bev on their travels to Oranjemund.

Well...in all honesty..... if you guys REALLY wanted to...... you could all be here on Thursday Night... in the Namib,,,, at the old .303 club...for a once in a lifetime return to Oranjemund... a ... holiday..... the last ... before it all changes... I reckon if you reply within the next 3 days.... I could get your clearances through..... this is the last time..... before it changes....

Think about it....... do not wait till you are all 70....... then it;s gone...we;re gone...... BOBBY BROER...... SKRIK WAKKKER!

Diana you will always have a room available here but you'll have to get yourself here first.  What with all those kids they could pay for you to come for a visit.  Free accommodation from me any other offers ?
