Hiya Folkes...Janus here. Pleased to see that you all enjoyed yourselves at the reunion.
Sorry I couldn`t make it but I have a complicated life and am not able to plan too far ahead.
Rory-Harry-Jonah...keep in touch one way or another.
Fondest regards to you all
JANUS

Our thoughts the same as Mac, Jonah n Rory, excellent weekend, company, hotel,food,sauna,steam room(blow soot), pool etc,not sure of the trip to Wales(bloody gert fish),Mac,Taff n me thought the executive branch would like a look in for the last man standing on Sunday night, looking forward to Torquay

hat a great weekend! a most welcome addition to out holiday! Sandy and I had a great time with great company and the Hotel was 1st class! Black hand once more in perfect performing mode....and again among the 'last men standing'....Recommends all round! Can see the B13's winging their way towards the deserving recipients....

Bar prices were heavy, however no more than I expected from a Hotel of this standard. Bar and food at such places is always 'up there'....

From a personal perspective I did not mind the bar prices too much....would rather that than poor service, rooms and food.

Swings and roundabouts shippers, swings and roundabouts!

Standing by for 'in coming'!

Won't be over again for a few years I guess, 2014 is a possibility however a lot of steaming hours till then.

Best to all.....take care

Mac & Sandy McPherson

Excellent hotel marvellous company Bar prices to steep.

I'm sorry - Clean forgot to mention it in my last posting:
I'm still putting together a register for BJ on people's preferences for a venue for our 2013 re-union
I've got almost half the replies back so could I please ask the rest of you guys to drop me an E mail with your ideas
No need to write lengthy letters etc. Just something like "Hi Whiskey - Florida would be nice"
That'll do for me thanks one and all

Thanks for that info Big Barry - That had been puzzling me ever since we went down there and saw the Great Britain:
Wonderful day out BJ - Well done mate: (Particularly loved the coach tour in Wales )

Quite a few queried the White Ensign on the SS Great Britian - hopefully herewith the answer
Q. Why does the ss Great Britain fly the white ensign?
A. The ss Great Britain is presented today dressed overall as a historic presentation of the launch of the ship on the 19th July 1843. This historical presentation is as accurate as it is possible to achieve, down to the flag that flies at her stern. The evidence for the appearance of the white ensign at her stern on the day of her floating out from the Great Western Dockyard is compelling: On the day of her launch, the ss Great Britain was attended by Prince Albert, so given that the Queens’ Consort and a military band were on board the ship on launch day, the white ensign was likely to have been seen as appropriate.Logic dictates that the white ensign be flown at her stern today in just the same way that the ship interiors look the way they

Great week end again guys and gals. Without all you lot it would just have been another boring weekend. Agree George ( Rory) about the facilities, us finely tuned athletes taking advantage.
No prob's in coming back in 2013 Whiskey... you just make 2 pints last intsead of supping 9.

Thanks a lot from Trixi and Rory
