jim r Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I only deal in facts! Fact is we had a good conference,the hosts were incredible.Cannot thank Gael/John enough, thanks guys. You forgot to mention how good the cabaret was Wok, shall I do the honours ? I think so. The cabaret was awesome we had a double act. The first was "Ticklemewok" which was hilarious laughter from start to finish,followed by "Mussels" a comedienne with a difference. This lady sails close to the wind and comes over with a total innocence, superb entertainment and well worth the entrance fee. A big thankyou to all who attended conference for making my weekend fun. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spink Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Oh my gosh...... I have only been home since 10:45 last night, and i avoided the forum for as long as possible as I was expecting a lot of damage to have been done, but you guys are soft! I was expecting SO many more posts, but I guess we are all just exhausted from the great weekend, and the long drive home. I think I'll save my bits for later....and they'll be coming right back at ya Father Jim! We also need TickleMeWok to have soime time to recover before the giggles start again....

Spink Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I just noticed that ALREADY my user profile has been altered to reflect my election on to the Exec - these guys move fast when they want to! Now that I've been to my first conference and sat through my first AGM, I wonder how I ever got roped in to being on the Exec!!!! :roll: :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yup, the Driving Creek Railway very interesting, but the seats were pretty darn uncomfy! maybe i would be too tall to fit in the train then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 You'd fit, but we would have to fold you in half so that no appendages stick out of the train and get lopped off when you go through the tunnels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefish Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Yup, there were tunnels. heres one: Conference is the same weekend each yr. But well worth it, even if you have to cram study in afterwards (like i'm meant to be doing now...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
