    Sadly for me I have to pull out of next weeks bash.
    Last weekend a good sized blur appeared in my vision, after a few days of screwing around between optician and hospital it has been confirmed as a large floater that is putting strain on my retina.
    Apparently it’s a semi common complication of cataract surgery and not that big of a deal unless you only have one eye like me.


    If the floater puts too much strain on the retina it might tear and become detached (leaving me blind and needing surgery to repair it)
    I have been told it will take several weeks for the floater to shrink enough to where it is not a problem and I have been warned against stressing the eye in the mean time.
    So a 4.5 - 5 hour is out of the question for me.


    Neil I committed to the chippy and will still send my share of the cost to you once you post it in the thread.


    My apologies folks I was so looking forward to meeting you all, I had everything prepared and packed ready for the journey but I will be at the next bash (unless I get blinded by a detached retina )

    Really sorry to hear that Scott but you’ve definitely made the right decsion. Make sure you do as you’re told and rest up and all being well you’ll have a swift recovery. Fingers crossed you make one of the next two dates.

    Clever as those dogs are, I'm not sure they can actually drive a car.


    Sorry to read about Scott & Segata not being able to make it to this one.


    On another point, is this a beer or wine do ? Maybe bring both ? And a bottle of Brandy or maybe vodka ?

    Do not sell this man any air guns no matter what he says

    I believe the Bash is strictly tea total
    The only drink taken is a mug of Earl Grey with the fish and chips

    Bring whatever it is you prefer. There will be all sorts there. I strongly recommend you do bring brandy but make sure you sit very close to me
