I agree Col, maybe you guys can set a date for each year, between solving a few of the world's problems on the run. :thumbright:

I, like Neddley, have been struck by the dreaded date clash bug. :(

I was rather hoping to partake :occasion5: :walk: :occasion5: :walk: :occasion5: for the second year of hopefully a long string of years but not to be :tear: .

Daughter No 1 is launching her first CD :rock: :singing: with her band in north east Vic.

I was holding out on answering the call to arms :sniper:, sorry glasses, :occasion5: hoping that the events wouldn't clash but sadly I lost!! :cry:

I would't be forgiven :angry4: for a vvveeeeerrrrrryyyyyyyy long time if I didn't turn up at the CD gig.

Have 1 :drinkers: or a dozen :drinkers::occasion5::drinkers::walk::drinkers::drinkers::occasion5::walk::hic::occasion5::hic::hic::walk: :occasion5: :partyman::walk: :partyman: :hic: :occasion7: for me guys

Definately a fixed weekend would be more suitable for forward planning

Fixed date sounds like a great idea.

Can't be at this one unfortunately due to to family commitments (sons wedding) and SWMBO wouldn't understand.
