Title: Thanks Golfbuddy
Post by: TheBoy on 02 September 2007, 17:24:46
For you organisation of the Wales meet  - despite your poor geography (we were miles from Wales).

All joiking aside, great site. Thankyou.


On a more personal note, thanks also to the Jimbobs and the DTMs for allowing me to gatecrash breakfast both days :)

Great Hospitality from the owners, those bathrooms were nice, and the Chimnea's were great

The facilities and cleanliness were unbelievable!  I 'sat down' and half expected to see my magazine rack next to me - it was just like home....

I took Holly a couple of times......for a walk....eating apples, plums, etc, etc.

However im not a great fruit eater.....so i wasnt tempted  :)

Yeah, great weekend!  Special thanks to everyone that provided food/beer/whisky  ;) :y

I'm sure I saw Bob at the M5 services still trying to hock those burgers.  :P ;D ;D

I'm getting up earlier for a shower next time.  I didn't realise that there are glaciers around here!  :'(  Got rid of any lingering head/bodyache though!

Got home about 5, detoured closer to Wales, and then through the Cotswolds including cream tea in Bourton-on-the-Water.

How did everyone find it, since they're all misspelling it today, or is that just part of the after-effects?  :-? ;D

There is no photographic proof that happened, just the word of a pair of untrustworthy, alcoholic ladies ;)

At least with Mrs Jimbob's antics, you have evidence on your memory card ;D

You appear to have avoided the camera all weekend ;D

Shame we didn't get a video of Mrs Razzo attempt to walk back to your pitch last night ;D
Title: Re: Thanks Golfbuddy
Post by: Golfbuddy on 02 September 2007, 20:24:59
Very kind but no thanks due to me whatsoever. The reason it was such a great weekend, as you know, is that this is truly a great community. We could have stayed in a layby on the A38 and we would have had a great time. I have met some truly NICE people this weekend and I sincerley hope to do so many more times.

If I can help with pulling any loose ends together on future meets then I would be only too pleased to do so. And, if any of you find yourself in my neck of the woods, look us up and we can get together again. Maybe a mini Cornwall meet next summer sometime? Now, that would make a good photo, a line up of Omegas with the sea behind.

I intend to send them a note tomorrow to try to pave the way for a future meet there. Always worth keeping our options open.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with this thought.

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again, some sunny day.
Keep smiling through, just like you always do,
'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

In fact, why didn't we have a singalong?  :'( :'( :'(

Dear Gail, Peter and Mavis
 
Just a short note to say thanks very much for a great weekend from all our party. Everyone was greatly impressed with the site and the facilities. Most people said that they intend to return shortly on their own.
 
I hope that we were not too noisy and that we would be welcome to return next year? It was the main topic of conversation that we really must come back to Pelerine as the location and the site were perfect.
 
Once again, many thanks for a great weekend and hope to see you again.
 
Best wishes
 
Martin Saint and all the Vauxhall Omega Owners.
