Who is that? Seaman Staines?

I was expecting a picture of the three musketeers - Tom, Jon & Gordon.

 

[GraemeandSally]

should we eat on Saturday evening in the HOVERCRAFT Bar again? if so will need to book it

[GSears]

Is that another round?

 

[JON12A]

Crossing 2.00 pm so Pirates for a wee dram early doors ?

Raising the tone a bit... If anyone wants a little gentle exercise on Saturday to work off the alcohol, then (weather permitting I may take a walk to a couple of WWII batteries on the coast. You can read more about them here: Battery Oldenburg, and here: Battery Waldam. It's an hour or so each way, but at least it will be flat!

Regards,
Martin

Sounds good Martin obviously depends on what time we get in Friday !.
Just looked on google maps and the nearest one is 9 mile return trip.
This might make it tight for the rte Saturday at 12.00 . Maybe get a taxi out and walk back.

Walk?

Are you mad?

Hi Jon,

I was thinking more of an afternoon amble; group pic at midday followed by lunch (and maybe a beer or two), then head out around 1 pm. 90 minutes there; an hour mooching, back by 5 in time for the evening's festivities - though Saturday is usually more restrained than Friday!

Regards,
Martin

...though Saturday is usually more restrained than Friday!

Beginning to think I'm getting to the party too late on Friday, if Saturday is the restrained night! ...hmmm

 

[JON12A]

Maybe next year we should extend the doo for the entire week, a bit like the Harley events.
That way we can fit all the activities in.
I could sell tee shirts for every day you manage to get out of bed and patches for activities undertaken ?.
Of course I will need a solicitor when I get home.

Maybe get a taxi out and walk back.

If you’re getting a taxi...from the family bar after lunch...can I get a lift... to the Pirates...

I’ll be ok walking back...

 

[GSears]

Bit of a motley crew you've identified there Jon

[Winglider]

That's typical of John
Look at all those patches and pins on his waist coat.
But you never see any of them in the IBA Shop

Steve those badges are for the hard core IBA rider strictly not for caravan towing Goldwing riders.

 

[JON12A]

That must have been a good night I cant remember it all

 

[Megabuck]

The obvious question would be: Who forgot the IBA flag, then?
