Hmmm very interesting and just carrrying on like nothing has ever happened also near enough proves our suspisions to be right, that it would of been nothing more than just a shameless plug for his photography business.

Pleased we've managed to raise close to £600 for the children's hospice not bad considering that it very nearly didn't happen.

A great turn out, many thanks to all who gave so generously, can't believe how much was raised

Just shows what can be done when good people turn out to support such an important cause.

Great to meet everyone, new faces and old, look forward to meeting up with you again soon.

Cheers,

Mart


PS Jon, I couldn't hear the Lambo on the way home......... you need a sports exhaust

a couple of pics:





also to Tony and his mrs, who met up with us whilst waiting on the lads to come up from Exeter, + guiding me through Barnstable to the pub when we all got split up.

Good to meet up with some of you at Exeter and drive part of the way to Barnstaple, but with other commitments needed to return home before getting too far. Pleased there was a good turn out at the Tarka Inn despite the original organisation.

I have just spoken to the hospice and they are sorry but they cant let us visit on Saturday as it is to short a notice as the organiser did not give them a date for it and then cancelled it but would like to arrange a car show early April 09 for them What about a car meet in the area any way regards Big Geoff

Surprising what can be achieved if you have the will to want too. Congratulations to every one that took part. Fantastic result, sorry I couldn’t make it but sent my son in law with his 3 boys to pub to take pics etc. Hopefully the mentioned April 09 event will happen and it can be organised for the right reasons.

I am not a professional photographer

Thanks for the photos boys, pity about the weather though.
Being based in Barnstaple I will contact big geoff , hoc and Bomber Denton to see if we can get another event up and running in the spring, if the support is out there?
From N Devon, many thank to you all for a most generous whip-round, fantastic result.

Check out the express and echo chaps. John, You might want to smile next time. Ha ha!!!!

[Jon944S2]

Has anyone seen the local paper we're in there today. My parents purchased it earlier and now I'm having the piss taken out of me by them and a few people at work for looking like a 'miserable bd' and I'm sorry for that didn't intend to.

[jdwcd]

Just tell them "Its for charidy mate"

[Meatball]

Nice one guys i look forward to the next one

[clive f]

[nightspeed]

Wow!!! Lots happened since I expressed my dissatisfaction on 25th Sep, when it was cancilled and unfortunately not logged on to PH until tonight. (that will teach me to take my eye off the ball) This thread - First 4 months and only four pages, and in the last fortnight alone, its been doubled. Great result and well done to all who those who attended.

Very keen to support the next one.
