Last seen leaving Cardiff Easter Sunday........

now snowbound in Newfoundland!

Spirit of Cardiff ashore at the RNYC, Conception Bay South. Pic taken on 21st Dec. They had about 30cm snow on 18th and more whilst I was there.

She looks to be in fine condition despite the weather.

Nice one, Alan. That Easter was quite something, wasn't it? Di and I met a lot of nice people at the parties. Sadly, we were so new to the scene that most names, many from this Forum, didn't stick.

But thanks to Jools and his slide show on disc that I got from him after the event, I can at least picture the Crazy Canadian. There's a snap of her rockin' the night away with my equally, if not crazier, daughter Katie. It was taken long after Di and I had given up and tottered off to bed.

I think Priddy was also still standing, and, reputedly, the last to leave.

Cheers...

Nice pictures Alan. Mike, at that week-end of the SOC send-off, was the young lady who wore a Harrison Ford type hat any connection to you?

Mike Garside · 06 January 2003, 10:50

Yup, that was Katie, Charles. Now whaddya gonna tell me...he said nervously?!

Charles · 06 January 2003, 17:21

Nah, nothing....she was just a groovy chick!!

Mike Garside · 07 January 2003, 06:07

She comes from good stock. Maybe old, but we're still groovin'..... just.

Good luck with her.

It is all a bit secret at the moment but If you are a gambling man i would put money on it. Watch this space and I am sorry for making you spend loads of money on a RIB !!!! Alan P

bryan edwards · 10 January 2003, 18:28

hi alan, i will look forward to that, as for me buying a rib it was one of the best things ive ever done , last summer down west wales was an all time buzz, regards bryan
