Mmmmm cider..........

 

[foxfish]

Hey Ben, we drank your whine last sat night, that was myself & another db member who was over from the UK for a few days. Great stuff mate but not quite sure what type of food I would match it with? Quite sweet but with a background kick!
Anyhow all 6 of us had a great time eating plenty of seafood - 6 x lobster & 4 x spider crab. Also many thanks to my mate who managed to get me my favorite fish.
I will post some pics of the fire party went I get them.

Re: Holiday Guernsey 2008.

All done and booked up, Jim and myself will be arriving on Friday 15th August and leaving on Wednesday 20th August.
We’ll be staying at the ST George Hotel (same as last year).

See you then Gentlemen of Guernsey.

I'm away from 22 July to 4 August so I'll miss you Adam. Shame. Sure some of the others will see you right though. If we ever get any vis that is.

Dave

 

[foxfish]

The vis will be fine by the time of the fish in; plenty lobsters around!
Podge, that big one was yours but looks like I will have to eat him now!

 

[podge]

I’m so sorry that we didn’t make it over on Saturday, but after speaking to Ricky who was kind enough to book it all up for us it seems like the Cat sailed but took no day return passengers as they couldn’t guarantee a return on the same day.
Mart thanks for the thought and keep the BBQ hot as we’ll see you all in August.

 

[Sarnian]

Thanks Podge - just one of those things. we were very touched that you all wanted to come over. Thanks also to all the Guernsey DB members who came to the service - it was great to have your support.

Looking forward to seeing you all in happier times when we get together for the Guernsey trip in August.

Cheers

Colin

Foxy Jim and myself will be arriving on the 15th August at around 8.10 am.
I’ll give you a bell after we’ve settled into the hotel if that’s OK?
May be a afternoon swim might be in order??

 

[foxfish]

Right then we are getting close now:friday
What I would like to know (need) is info from the Guernsey guys - who is participating? Who wants to come to Herm on the Friday night? Who wants to party - socialize on any other night? Who is coming to the lobster feast?
Please let me know

 

[Magpie]

No can do Herm unfortunately but we'll be there for the Lobster Feast, presuming its still on the Sunday, and presuming there's room for 2, if not she can stay at home!

Let me know when you want my little contribution.

 

[Jonny250]

Yes please mart, 2 for each please.

I will be taking holiday during that week, so if anyone needs a lift from the airport/ferry then send me a pm.
Mart, let me know if you need any help.

 

[Magpie]

I'm available for lifts at some times as well, and happy to help in the kitchen too Mart.

 

[podge]

Not long now peeps
Anybody up for a little MELLOW (Jonny you bugger) swim around on the 15th?
We land at 8.10am so anytime after 8.15am will be good for us

 

[foxfish]

Yep not long now! I will be available all the time you guys are here. We will be getting the ferry to Herm from St Peter Port about 7pm for our evening meal, we have 18 people comming so just 2 seats left? :friday

 

[Jonny250]

low water on the 15th is around 12 o clock; I'd be up for a swim from say 11 - location depending on the wind/weather... podge, I only do mellow!

 

[foxfish]

I am sure OMD will be up for a dive too (he is back from holiday Tuesday)
Perhaps we can all meet at the "club house" in the morning & go from there.
