A Big Thank You

As everyone else has said already - what a brilliant weekend, in spite of the weather. Thanks to all those who put so much into the planning - especially Rictus; as well as the impromptu helpers (gazebo-getters, fish & chip fetchers, BBQ food organisers, chefs [even the Little one]).

Thanks to Ping for her superb Moonbase 1 hospitality. Thank you to Kim for driving us both around the rideout route in her car on Saturday (I might have even had a sneaky kip here and there). Although I'd wimped out of going on the bike at the last minute (too many items of my kit have forgotten what the word 'waterproof' means), it was still a great opportunity to meet up with everyone and have a great weekend. Top marks to everyone who braved the elements to make it there on the bikes - especially those who were feeling a little apprehensive for confidence reasons etc.

Bring on AR08!

That's a big thank you to everyone from me too. Had such a wonderful weekend meeting and laughing with you all. It was my first AE, and most definitely won't be my last.

Praise be to the organisers.


btw: Moonbase 1 was supposed to be an 'open' tent where people could come in, sit down, chat, drink, dry their kit if needed, but word seemed not to get around. Was a pleasure to have those of you who did come in, come in..

I was considering taking you up on your offer of the spare room for the night. But I figured I was already drenched, I may aswell stay that way rather than imposing on you, was my own fault really anyway. But thank you for the offer

I've been trying to work out where I got this bruise. Did I fall over? Get hit with the frisbee? Ah, I remember. Ping stabbed me in the face with a spear

Oh crap! I'm sorry! Forgot about those shinnanegans....

REALLY SORRY...

It wasn't a big spear. And I've got a spare eye (I really had forgotten about it til just now, which tells you how big a deal it is)

Hm... Will still have to make a sign to warn people to keep potential weapons away from me when i'm drinking...
