Those rates sound entirely fair and reasonable. Please send all request to me via PM, cheques I'm afraid will not be accepted.

Thank you to Steve, Mark, Tim & Oscar

Yes a great week-end, and I hope those members that didn't come are now regretting it

Fantastic place, and thanks for all the freely given knowledge and organisation, and to Tim for the newly cut footpaths that avoided trousers getting too waterlogged on Saturday.

Saturday did turn out lovely though ............



Next year again please Steve

Hello and welcome again Pete - if I've got the right folks I think Lorraine and myself spent Sat afternoon hiding out of the heat in the hut - heh! heh! Last year it was Graham, Linda and myself hiding out - but they got their second wind this year and went after the butterfly site too - I wasn't risking feeling off then having to drive home.........

Re: Priory Water 2008

Thanks again to Steve & the gang for another great weekend.
Probably got the best pics Saturday morning in the rain, and the camera seems to be waterproof
Got nearly 500 pics to sort through, should keep me going until Christmas...

Good to meet you all.

Martin

LOL that's a very good point. Graham might have been picking people off when we headed off in the afternoon...

Your a mind reader Nick. I did indeed pick some users off with the 500mm... So just watch out for any you may put up of me, I'll keep my ammo dry for now!
