I didn't get to talk to Z Z Top. Who was he ?
Yeah I wondered that as well! And I didn't get a chance to talk to Pauline either!
We took quite a few pics so will hopefully get them off the camera and posted later.
I'd like to add another big thanks to Brendan and the terrific staff at Mercury - the family all agree it was one of the most enjoyable weekends out on the water we have ever had.
I took my camera, then didn't take a single pic once I started socialising. Straker has promised a bit earlier to upload some, and there were quite a few cameras in evidence throughout the evening.
Especially the ones where all the men had womens frillies on, and the women were all topless. Not for public consumption, but highly entertaining for those there! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think it was a mate of Pugwash, though I could be wrong.

Brendan, you are never wrong! It was a mate of mine - JP is his name and he owns a lovely Shearwater. He's always being called ZZ Top but accepts it as the norm!
Great night Brendan and thanks to all the Staff as well. Also a big thanks to all the forumites who made the effort to turn up! Shame on you buggers who wimped out.
P.S. Couldn't believe how demure PaulineB was - I was expecting ................something a bit more risque!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Pauline suprises everyone. She is lovely on the forums, and even more in real life. The meet was wonderful, and just a shame that a few hours are not good enough to talk to everyone you would like to.

Like a fishwife or the like ?
Sorry, but I had a table full of drunken guests to worry about /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif ...... besides the fact that I really am a softly spoken, although forthright, woman.
Thanks May for doing the labels. It was supposed to be a shift system, that never happened. It did give you Dick and myself the chance to meet just about everyone there though!!
Absolutely, but just one tiny, small thing - the volume of chatter was so great throughout dinner (a good thing, I guess) in our little room that I struggled to hear what was being said on the table.
We definitely need a 100 plus people for the next meet so we can move up to a marquee
Make sure the little lad who was break dancing in the disco gets an invite as well - he was soooooooo cool.
