New Forest (Strawberry Fields) 29th July to 3rd August 2021

[Peter51]

Hi Martin, I got home from Edinburgh to find a hospital summons for the 29th of July which I should probably attend. Consequently I cannot come and will be pleased to give my place to someone else!
I hope you all have a great time.
Peter

Hi, looks like we’ll have to withdraw from this meet.
Hopefully a reserve will get a spot now.
Have a good one.

 

[moonshadow]

Thanks for letting us know

I’m so so sorry but I will have to cancel this meet I’m gutted this is one of my favourite but until the doc can find out why I am am having dizzy spells I should not drive all that way on my own if anything changes between now and the meet I will contact you to see if there is still room, if not have a great meet and I’ll catch up with you all later in the year.

 

[moonshadow]

Such a shame we’ll always find a space for you! Take care fingers crossed they don’t take your licence away, I just got mine back yesterday after a year of not driving due to passing out

Hi Annie I hope you're sorted out quickly, it's sensible for you not to drive long distances but we will miss you.
for you see you soon.

Hey Annie I wanted to be a smart arse and say something stupid like I always new you were a a dssy moo. But I thought better of it and will tow the party line and make it sound like I’m concerned. GET YOUR ARSE DOWN HERE.

I’ve had it all week from Bill with remarks like when I say I feel dizzy again he says things like how can you tell
So feeling normal then
You’ve been dizzy since the day I met you

Hi @moonshadow , our Scottish meanderings are taking more time than we planned.

1 The ferry back from Arran.
2 the wish to return to Peebles once a bathroom tap is available.
3 Additional plans in Northern England.
So we cannot make the meet.
I trust this is sufficient notice to allow one of the reserves to use what was our place,
