Drivers... will you be co-ordinating and arriving en masse? Rain expected after you arrive!! so rather than

See you all around 11:30 on Saturday!

Hi Guys, I'm going to have to bail out at this late stage as I've just had a phone call, my 95 year old mum has fallen down the escalator in M&S Bromley, Kent.

I'm leaving now to help over the weekend as luckily nothing is broken but she is having trouble moving as battered and bruised.

Please let me know if I owe anything.

I have also a double room booked and paid for and have offered it to Le Prez in the first instance, so it may be up for grabs if he passes it over.

Gutted but also relieved (nothing broken)

Sorry you won't be joining us... we'll raise a glass (or two) to her recovery!

Just heard from Paul. I'm afraid he's caught up at work and won't be able to make it. He is so disappointed. Have a great day all of you. Sandra

Pity... but not altogether unexpected and without his "one for the road" influence possibly beneficial for our livers!

Well i do hope you are hitting the livers hard you melts., have fun, frank.

Well, it's official - The Accountant can now add a new skill to his CV.
He can indeed Organise A Piss-Up In A Brewery!

Epic!!!

Why thank you... but of the nine different places where we partook of alcohol, just the three were associated with the brewery...!

Even with partial memory recall it was Epic BC so many thanks to both you and Lyn for your excellent hospitality. And when did I last need the full width of the pavement to stay upright? I must have been a bit tired.

Can someone remind me what happened?

At some point we were told about what goes into making beer. Water, yes. But what else? Oh, and you said you're retiring soon so don't forget to do that.

Well I wasn't even there and it would seem I remember as much about the whole event as everyone else!

Sounds SUPERB!

I said... even if you didn't remember everything I told you, you were to remember one thing...

So, what was that?

Please, we must have time to confer.
