Mart


115 down the bahn!!!! only saw 1 other scoob.... didnt play ball though

 

Well where do we start!

Iain and Ang - thanks for organising AND for our wonderful polos!

Dave and Nic - a brilliant treasure hunt! Many thanks for all the hard work, and for chaperoning us over the weekend.

Barry - for the brilliant Petter Solberg driving impressions, and great to see you unexpectedly.

Kim and Dom (and Ben) - we don't see you often enough, but nice to see you in bits (if you know what I mean).

Subargirl - for making your first public appearance so memorable!!!!!!

HantsScoobies for coming over and making a great day of it Saturday.

The weather for lots of sunshine today and only a few spots yesterday.

The waitress at the hotel for the amusement - although she did not pick up the menu!!!!

YAWN YAWN. Toooo tired to write any more - some one else please continue...........

 

It was indeed fantastic - in fact, Andy (Splitter) started his own thread about it

Many thanks to Iain and Ang for organising a scooby weekend to somewhere I can practically see from my back room window and also to Dave and Nic for a very excellent treasure hunt (although there *was* 95 "Slow" markings ).

Special thanks to Maffa and Jen for giving us the answers to a few clues lol!

and of course thanks to the Hants guys for coming over, especially Ryan our youngest member at 5 1/2 months and Mark for getting us back to the ferry at 6.58 (literally! - it left at 7! When the ticket guys say's "go quick - lane 6!" you know the slide around the corner onto the ferry is justified )

(oh, and David, who put up with us for a lovely Chinese until 1:30 am - thanks matey - now get yourself a log in so I've got someone to take the p*ss out of between when we see you )

Ok - thats enough "thanks" I feel like I've won an oscar

Having trouble uploading the pics, but I'll finish them tomorrow - here's one though (alot more incriminating one's to come)



Jen

P.S. Iain - did you get the t-shirts made? Looking to get some hants one's done, would aprieciate (sp?!) any info

Jen, I'm going to be pedantic...
You mean *WERE* 95 slow markings

Even if there were 95, you'd still have come second.
Peanuts & Mrs Peanuts would have still won by 1/2 a point.
Bizzare! Oh, and the judges decision is still final

Glad you enjoyed the day. Same time next year?

 

Wow,great,fantastic,what a majorly top weekend i even had the opportunity to sit on the sand and make sand castles and sand fish and starfish etc(big kid really) some great roads and same great speedy driving,was good to see a lot of new faces.Cant wait to see the dreaded pics.Was a pity i didnt do the treaure hunt but it would have been awkward with the littlun and id still probably be there now as im crap at reading maps.Now lets GET THEM PICS UP!!!!

Thanks guys.

Well we both really enjoyed it and having the day trippers made it even better.
Didn't realise there were so many Scoobs on the Island.
Glad Barry could join us at the last minute. Really made the weekend seeing Keith so happy with his camera (had Barry not turned up he might have turned it on us)

So whos organising next years?

 

What a great weekend, both of us enjoyed our selves very much. Many thanks to everyone who made the weekend possible.

Can't wait till next year

 

tip top day out, luckily the clutch seems to have stopped slipping and the stench is almost starting to disappear!!
Dyney, can you give me some details on what it looked like from behind to tell my local clutch fixer the symptoms please mate...
still, winning the treasure hunt made it all worthwhile.

next year we will do the whole weekend with you all.

Peanuts (& mrs Peanuts)

 

Brilliant stuff - echo all thoughts and thanks.

Looking forward to next years!

Weava - red wagon.

 

Peanuts,
There was just a cloud of smoke/ dust from under the car as you took off with the clutch slipping

 

Keith, not up to your old tricks again with the waitresses eh? I remember a few of us doing something similar last year

So, whose car got written on this year then?

Does sound like a lot of fun was had, pity I was not around, but then I usually only cause trouble by making too much noise Who knows, I might make it back for IOW next year. ok ok, I can hear the groans lol

 

No writing as everyone had made the effot to clean their cars this year!!

We were all in bed early! Well by 2am anyway

 

Fantastic weekend, had a brilliant time, and i have to say the biggest thank u 2 Barry for letting me drive his car. THANK U!!! Cant wait for next year xxx

 

What a quality weekend Right I spose i'd better do the RESPECT LIST

Respect to:

Faulty Towers for putting up with us lot (Damn that hotel is shocking )

Iain for organising the weekend Cheers fella

The treasure hunt organisers for getting us completely lost on more than a couple of occasions LOL

I'll second Keith's respect of the waitresses She wouldn't pick up my lighter either LOL

Everyone for turning up and making it a wicked weekend

Oh & a definate respect to the awesome roads, views & sights that were everywhere. Not that they could be seen at the rate I was doing that military road

I'm sure there's more but I just can't concentrate at the mo as Baywatch is on LOL

I'm loading some pics at the mo so they should be ready to view in the next hour or so. Yes I know I should get Broadband LOL

MAFFA

 

OMG! Barry let you drive his car! I remember what you did at the top of the hill last year! lol just kidding hehehe.

 

Pictures can be seen here

http://matttrotman846.fotopic.net/sh...n.php?id=56509

Can't be bothered to post them all up as my pc is a dinosaur LOL. Not bad pics for a cheap disposable camera that didn't have a flash Well done Jen as you took 90% of them

MAFFA

 

Cool pics.

Now, the question is, did you all play silly buggers on the bridge like some people did last year? hehehe

And who cheated in the maze

 

Excellent Pics Maffa

Sharkus - yup - they did! lol! I've got photographic evidence at home (I was too scared to join in ) which I will post up after work - most amusing

 

lol! thought they could not resist doing that again! So, who got wet feet?

Top marks to Iain again for sorting out what looks like another class trip, I know how hard you work on these things Are you getting ready to do IOW 4?

 

I might have wiggled the bridge a teenie weenie bit . I do believe that IOW has gotta be on the cards. I aint staying at that hotel though LOL

 

In other words, you nearly broke the thing by moving it! lol you hooligan.


I'm surpised they have not banned our little trips by now lol

 

It's only because the authorites haven't caught us yet!

 

Matt,
Please tell me exactly what was wrong with the hotel!!

They had a pool and jacuzzi and a bar that stayed open as long as we wanted it We got our own parking area, a full English in the morning (the most imoptant bit for you I would have thought!) and all for £30 pppn.

Everyone was more than happy with the same hotel last year and was stated as we left in '02 we should use the same again for this year.

I for one want to keep the cost down and a 5 star hotel is well out of my price range!!!
I would have thought you would have been the same.

Sorry if I was wrong in assuming everyone wanted a cheap weekend away

 

Just not to my taste mate, that's all . Kind of a "Falty Towers" throwback IMHO I would just prefer something a little nicer.

Just my opinion

MAFFA

 

pool? I don't remember any pool, but then I do recall being very very trashed on whatever morning it was, and then us trying to find out the cause of my nice smoking headlamp loom lol

Seem to also recall we got complaints last year from the hotel over the road about the noise (ahem, wonder who that was? ) so I'm suprised they let you all back in

Think the barmaid last year was pretty cute too!
