GOOD LUCK TO THE 'NEWARK' CREW!

You'll have a fabulous time yet again.

Mo, Simon and co, I wish I could be with you, and tied up at 'The Moorings' but I'm so tied up here (don't ask!).

One year I will get there, and that's a promise.

I know most of you are already booked up for the B2PCa annual summer 'do' in June and I look forward to meeting you again then,

In mid February I will post details of that event on the 'Event's section here.

ENJOY YOURSELVES!

George

Hi folks I am sorry my inbox was full, I am not very good at filing stuff, never have been. Mick was amazingly methodical files for everything, he made me have my own e mail account because I made his untidy!! Anyway I have been in and tidied up so there is now some space for more messages.

Sue if you and Alan fancied coming down and meeting up with us all you are more than welcome as is anyone else who sees this and wants to join us at The Moorings in Newark at 12 onwards Saturday 7th February.

Latest scores on the doors are as follows

confirmed parties:

Edamo ...ME

SiNess ... Si and Ness plus the twins (some of the time)

YorkHull ... Paul

ColwickChris ... Chris and Dawn

Countryboy 55 ...Dave

Exbus ...Chris and Shirley

TeddyEdward ...Andy and SOH

Possibles depending on fitness and well being and in Julie and Trevor's case puppy births permitting

Nikon STeve ...Steve and his wife

Irun...Kev and his wife

TrevorBoothe ...Trevor and Julie

It has been a particularly hard start to 2015 so we all deserve a break and a chance to let our hair down (those that still have some!) I will be seeing Si tomorrow so we can make sure we have things organised with the pub.

Those coming by train to Newark Northgate let us know if you need a lift, those coming into Newark Castle by train it is literally round the corner from the pub so easier to walk than be collected.

I really hope you can all make it

In the meantime I have a joke for you all ...

A man (I am being PC here guys) man goes into a bar and orders 3 pints of Guinness, he goes to a quiet corner and starts to drink a few sips at a time from each pint until he finishes all three, then he goes to the bar and asks the barman for 3 more. The barman says "you know Guinness is always better drunk cold so maybe you should just have one pint at a time" ah no says the man " you see I have two brothers, one has gone to Australia and the other to America so we agreed we would always drink like this to keep in each others minds"

This went on for years every other night in the same pub so all the locals got used to the man with his 3 pints. Until one day he goes in and orders 2 pints of Guinness, as he is looking for his wallet to pay, the barman says "Oh no Pat I am so sorry for your loss, would you like the third pint on me?"

Jeez no says the man "Tiz nothing like that at all tiz just me I have given up drinking"

Dah Dah

Haha, I did laugh at your joke, Mandy...what are you like. I'll mention the meet to Alan, as it's not that far from us. I'm not sure he's got his head round the whole prostate cancer business yet...I think I'm struggling more than he is.

Thank you as always, for being you,

Love Sue x

Sue

you and Alan would be very welcome indeed, I think sometimes wives and partners do get hit hard initially in my case I think I felt a tiny bit guilty why Mick and not me although he would have kicked my ass if he heard me say that. Alan is probably still in a little bit of denial he was not expecting this, went for the test because you wanted him to and now he has a whole new barrel of frogs to deal with. The main thing is if it does suddenly hit him you will be there for him forewarned and forearmed. Having said that Alan is such a laid back guy he probaby just thinks oh well I suppose things could be worse.

Is there something nearer London? I think its time I came out the closet and put faces to names.

Barry

there is a London event organised by George H every year but it is in December so you just missed it. I seem to remember from your writings that you live North of London, a train ride to Newark is easy if you can get to Stevenage and trainline.com do some really good deals at weekends and out of the rush hours.

Couple of us are making a weekend of it and staying overnight at the Premier Inn in Newark.

It would be really great if you could come along

Hi,

If I do make it to Newark, everyone who meets me there will see slightly more "Steve" than I intended!

Just stood on the scales and I'm shocked, I weigh a stone heavier than I did before my heart attack. I blame Christmas really but it just shows how inactive I've been while under "house arrest". The sooner I start my cardiac rehab programme the better.

Anyway, I'm hoping nothing goes wrong in the next week, I do have a couple of appointments so unless they put any restrictions on me, I'll be there.

Take care.

Steve

Of course I know you will stick to the speed limits but watch for speed cameras on the A46 especially between the A6097 and Newark where the sneaky police man hides behind the chevron with his camera.

Cheers for that.
