Postby Hihonyr8811 » Thu Apr 15, 2010 11:26 am

This was mentioned at the pub on Saturday, so I thought I would throw this out for consideration :D

Last years was rather good :D

Anyone want to start off with a month lol then if people are interested we can narrow it down to a date :D \:D/

What do people think?

LOL I'd totaly forgotten about this =)) =))

There are sooooo many things I could say in response to that my dear :ymdevil:

I shall tentatively say count me in but with my track record something is bound to get in the way (I might get a job before May I hope lol).

I'm hoping to get there one day next week as well.

May would be good for all the flexible members!

I thought the volcanic ash was only a problem for the airliners at their optimum altitude!
