Spring Bash 20th and 21st May 2023

[TonyL]

All done. Twas a nice 50 mile round trip. Bit nippy but a good bit of sunshine

Count me in for The Bash Neil.

69 to go now, Pauly.


Oops. Not quite there yet.

Enjoy anyway.

Brilliant stuff, Chris. Your good lady obviously enjoyed her maiden visit then?

Doggy coming along too?

Be brilliant to see you all again.

How are Jim and those tiny ones doing?

Yes mate she thoroughly enjoyed the last bash. Monty will be coming with us too, he’s a bit fed up at the moment as he had surgery to remove a lump yesterday and he’s got quite an impressive scar on the back of his neck complete with fluid drains, he looks like frankensteins cockerpoo. But hopefully he will be back to his usual daft self my may. Jimbo is in South Africa for six months and the grandsons are growing like weeds how’s your new dog doing mate?

[TonyL]

I do hope Monty bounces back quickly from his ordeal, Chris. Poor little thing. Give him a cuddle from me.

Is Jim happy to be away?

Great to hear that those little Baldinios are doing well.

Caesar dogdog is doing fine. He's really my son's "therapy" dog so I'm not allowed / as involved with training and general doggy duties, but he's coming along nicely, growing like mad and it's so nice to have a dog around the house again.

77 to go, peeps.

BOING!

All paid up......

I know the start of this thread said no BBQ, are we ok to bring wood/logs etc to make (contained!) fires?

I believe there's usually a fire in the evening where most will sit and hang out, so yes I should imagine that'd be fine. The statement of no BBQ relates to the original Boinger Bashes where our hosts Mick and Shirl ran a gas barbecue to cook us food all day.

[clipper]

Perfect - thanks for that info

I'm coming up from Southampton, almost certainly on the Friday evening, have space for two passengers, and provided you don't snore louder than I do have two spare berths in the van, or space to carry camping gear if anyone is interested in halving my diesel costs

I look forward to meeting you on your maiden visit. You're going to love it.

I wish I could come but unfortunately I won't be able to make the May Bash.
I will really miss everyone and look forward to seeing you all at the next one.
Thanks Neil for putting the effort in to make these brilliant events possible.

If you have problems understanding any of the northern monkeys, come see me and I'll translate for you, I recently moved up from Southampton and have worked out roughly what they say, if you get in one of those awkward silent "tumble weed" situations then just say the boinger bash universal reset word "Weihrauch" and everything will be fine or situated on each gazebo support leg is a "smash glass in case of emergency " alarm point and inside is a HW35, that will help but be prepared for a big sloppy man hug from Tony you will then be excepted into the HW cult, something I will never be a part of.
