Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

I dont know Turbs, I guess just try and see if it works lol.

Took us just under 4 hours with a few quick stops as well as dropping off Maxie and Jax right to their doors.

Not sure I can think of anther meet just at the present moment as both Mr T and I are completely exhausted.

Any suggestions for another meet and any one prepared to put in some hard graft to ensure that the weekend goes smoothly.

I have to say that the hotel was amazing with all the organisation, they decorated the cake really nice, blew up all the balloons tieing them to the weights on the table and they provided the party poppers on the table, little stars as well. The finishing touches made the table really special.

20 for dinner was a great success and everyone was delighted with the food, the atmosphere and the evening was enjoyed by all.

After Cel's epic speech even other tables of diners clapped as it was very emotional as she poured out the history out of Beagles right up to the present day and introduced all the new comers and how we have helped them stand up for themselves against Bailiffs etc.

The fact that Ame and Tools + all 5 kids came and supported Beagles meant a great deal to us and especfially to Kate as this was important to thank them both for all their hard work over the years and especfially for the kids to know what a great site Beragles is and the work that their parents put in to make it what Beagles is today.

Everyone who came I am sure will all agree with me that York was a really good town to meet and all the attractions were all relatively close and central to where we were and the places that Turbs picked like the Three Tuns and Stonegate were all fantastic. Tea at Betty's was really good and we could not eat everything so took away two boxes of sandwiches and cakes which i gave to some hungary children.

Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

What Cel failed to mention that she muddled up the numbering and got everyone confused including herself.

It was great Cel - just make it more child friendly in future so that I can get more answers.

The winner was Ame and kids - well done hun xx
