BadPickle 2,655 Posted February 11, 2018 Right then, another top quality turn out for the gtg, a great bunch of lads and lasses, which I thoroughly enjoyed chatting/drinking with. The usual suspects, ROLIE, Genius,MetalMickey, Davesjourney Mr+MrsBlack etc, along with a good bunch of the Glasgow gang, andyboy, Del, Baz, Chiquita Fanjita. Some of the new guys, Time Bandit, Rokerite Hasel5, Dusk, bkg! and his mate, then there were the part-timers edwiniow, piccolo, Baxter who came just for a short spell, plus northantsRich who came later in the day. A special mention to yllekp who came across the water all the way from Ireland just to drink with us reprobates, a thoroughly nice chap he is too BIG THANKS to everyone who donated to the prize giving raffle, especially “wires” who couldn’t make it at the last minute but sent a beautiful rose gold yachtmaster AND Hasel5 who donated a gen Tissot complete with a very special box and book to go with it top lad. Apologies to anyone I didn’t get round to speaking to, or those guys who couldn’t make it.... there’s always the next time So all in all a really successful gtg, thanks to everyone who came to visit me in my little Yorkshire town in a wet and cold Saturday in February. cheers!!!
