Wishing you all the best for this evenings festivities hope you all have a wonderful time wish I lived close enough to attend myself but there you are difficult as it is you will just have to manage without me

Kind Regards Milan.

PS. hope the cruise goes well not to many thick heads about but I reckon that’s maybe asking too much

Had a top evening!

The food was great except for poor Nasher's whose turkey did not appear!(Nauti probably eating someone else's dinner again!!! )

Lovely to see everyone & thanks to The Churchillian management & staff for looking after us so well.

Nasher may yet publish details of his awards! And there should be some photos at some stage.

Great to meet new peeps Natalie, Mike CC, Heidi, Adda and the regular gang too. Lynn & Sean (rag & stickers) were new also.

Pete 7 had the cheek to talk about his new hardbote!!! But he'll let us all use the toilet if we're stuck

Tim M despite the presence of the lovely Ju managed a few bevvies by the cut of him at the end of the night! Portsmouth Car Valeting Services were on emergency standby however!

Bit tired this morning who's bloomin idea was it to go boating?

Kathleen & Paul

Twas a wonderful evening! Thanks to all who made it happen. Also thanks to Olly's sister who drove us home. Im happy to say that we managed it all the way back to Portsmouth without be being sick which is a first for a RIBnet dinner

Looking forward to the cruise to sober me up a bit

ROTFLMAO! Classic Garfie, very amusing! I will write a proper response later, but for the now I would just like to thank gArf for his support!

The news I had won an award was telephoned through to me by Tim M, just as I had anchored a brand new 50ft Lagoon Catamaran due to - that's right, you guessed it, engine failure. So I apologise for not collecting my award, but it seems my bad luck continued across to sailing vessels!

What a year!

I think you should consider a new career as a Flying Instructor. That way you should be able to stay a long way away from water. (I hope).
