2023 Jamboree - Sunday 2nd April

[Carl]

Hi Carl,

I suggest aiming to get there around 9:30 am or os; we'll get under way around 10, so that will give you time to change out of bike gear if you want, get a tea or coffee and some biscuits, and have a chat with the other attendees.

Regards,
Martin

Thanks Martin. See you there.

Should be there provided the usual acts of an outraged god, plague of dripping pestilence, or host of frogs do not intervene.

You should be OK, the frogs are having a strike that day..!!

Sorry guys but I'm going to pull out, of course, I will leave my £20 in the kitty so have a coffee on me.

I'm currently in the process of having my Bicuspid Aortic Valve replaced with a Bovine Valve. It is a maintenance thing to correct this congenital defect that is now showing signs of stenosis. I will be out of action for about three months but my operating date keeps going out due to various ailments within our NHS and my symptoms mean I get breathless and tire quickly, so SWMBO is restricting my excitement levels.

Looking on the good side I won't be parading around on stage in my underwear, there is always a silver lining if you look hard enough.......

Hi Dave,

Sorry to hear that. Well, not the bit about you not stripping down to your skivvies. I hope they get it sorted out quickly.

Hi Dave, good job you're a small chap, otherwise trying to fit a bovine valve...

We'll have to do an RTE to Geordie Land in a month or two.

All the best.

 

[GarminDave]

Cheers lads.

Thanks for organising today. Really enjoyed the talks, all were very informative and it was nice to meet so many like minded people.

Next time I'm stressed I'll remember I'm not stressed, I'm aroused

Safe journey home all.
