Count me in. I do live in the Bay after all :wave:

[chewyuk]

Can't make the first. But the second 100%, although I'll have my son with me :) so it will probably just be a hello :)

Mark, Wheres the best place to park around the bay area?

[johnsy]

Mark, Wheres the best place to park around the bay area?

Best bet would be the multistorey at the rear of the Millennium Centre, bear in mind though that with the events taking place it it likely to be very busy.

What time and where in the Bay shall we meet? I will have my daughter with me for the day so it may only be a brief visit to say hello, all depends on what mood she is in lol.

How about meeting at the entrance to the Pierhead Building (red bricked)?

[markw08]

I dont live far so will probably walk to this....

Meet at 10am outside the Red bricked Pierhead building....

Mark

[spencer]

It was nice to put faces to names, and I now have a lovely tan. Sorry I headed off early, haven't seen parents for a while and they were in the Bay so I met up with them.

[Ryan.S]

Had a cracking day out, thanks for the company lads :thumbs:, from the off i was knackered and the sun just kept taking it out of me :( 11.20 and i've just returned from the jacuzzi, 5 stellas heavier :lol: only to find my desktop computer is buggered, so i have no way of sorting any shots yet :( will get some online ASAP! See you at the next meet hopefully :)

[johnsy]
