teach us what :?:

the only thing its taught me is theres people who say they are coming and stand by it when it looks like a low tun out and some that back out :wink:

if we'd have found a unit in cornwall i'd have still gone :!:

- we all looked for months and when it looked like we couldnt get one and the project was going to have to be cancelled Tony stepped in

i dont regret it ive had a blast and pritty sure everyone else who came did too

I'm absolutely knackered......But havent enjoyed a weekend so much in ages

It would have been good to get it closer to being finished but without extra bodies everyone there has had to work their asses off just to get it to where it is now :!:

A massive WELL DONE to everyone that helped

Thanks Tony for getting us out of the crap, not just with the facilities but with many many parts too :mrgreen:

*****WE WILL GET IT FINISHED EVENTUALLY*****
