It does sound lovely, Sally - many thanks. I will come if I can, but can't say for sure until closer to the date!

Just read all your replies following a very busy week with no access to such pleasures as this Forum - shall we go with that then and aim for the Chequers in Marlow at 1200 followed by the boat trip at either 2.00 or 3.00 p.m. I may be down there in early June, which means I can check it all out in advance.

Suggest we start a list of those aiming to go and keep it updated:

Sally
Eddie
Chick
Julie
Stephen
Daisy 2
Francis 2?
Courtney

Perhaps others would confirm when they can.

Looking forward to seeing you all. Let's hope the weather is like today.

Please don't put me on the list yet, Sally — I won't be able to confirm until much closer to the date, and even then, it may be a no. My shifts at work change all the time and while I may be able to swap with someone else in order to ensure I have that day free, I can't guarantee it at all.

Thanks everyone. I make it 12 so far and I expect others will join us. Hope you can too, Courtney, nearer the time.

I've booked a hotel for the night before the meet up in July so I haven't got to face a long drive on the Saturday morning. I hope that the weather will be kind to us all.

Yes, we have too, so we'll be there on the Saturday morning without too much of a drive over to Marlow.

Looking forward to seeing everyone too. :)

I'm sure it will Francis, the get together days are far too short.

Well I think it's fairly safe to say that I won't be able to make it. Typically everything is happening that weekend!! I already knew my daughter has a dancing exam on the Sunday, so an overnight stay wasn't on the cards, but then I had the bright idea of travelling down on Friday, only to discover that's the night of my son's prom. :D

Never mind - maybe next year!
