Bunnie Sounds like a fantastic idea count us in, depending if Andy has a bowls match or not. smiler I was going to say the 16th but thats a tad close to xmas but yeah the 9th sounds good. I will have to get in contact with them again as I heard from one forum they started the writbands up again there like £20 all rides but soon as I no ill post it on here. So december the 9th then guys. bluea61 Wristbands would be a double bonus, bumper car bruises here we come!! nemesis scribe hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm trampolines, nice . . . . stevencaine Are we night clubbing the night before Portsmouth same as last year? And can my mate Jack come along The 9th is good with me? Big Stevie B Must remember to bring my passport this time. Is that Jack Sparrow guy a regular Steve? The guy on Facebook? Cheers for changing the dates on me. lol Brighton Winter Bash, Bounce and Bump II Trampolines, Bumper cars, alcohol, hang overs and jack sparrow. Me likes it. Please don`t change the date again. bluea61 Change the dates? I didn't think we'd agreed on one til now!! nemesis scribe bluea61 wrote: Change the dates? I didn't think we'd agreed on one til now!! I agree with bluea61 on this. The date has never changed because there wasnt 'a' date to change bluea61 I could be wrong though! I just didn't remember. Hey ho as long as y'all can make it. Prehaps a Pirate Themed night is in order!?!? smiler Yeah the date was the 16th the weekend beroe xams but you got there before me to put it on the board. Never mind cant wait should be good. nemesis scribe bluea61 wrote: I could be wrong though! I just didn't remember. Hey ho as long as y'all can make it. Prehaps a Pirate Themed night is in order!?!? Pitare theme eh???? We could ALL go out as Jack Sparrow haha. That would be interesting . . . AD Bunnie Can I come as a wench then? I don't want to dress as Jack Sparrow Magic I was down there today speaking with the rides manager and he said he is prepared to do deals on wrist bands if there is a reasonable sized group of RCCGB members going down there. Spanners And the new (brand new!) ghost train is.... different... But pretty good though. Big Stevie B Looking forward to this one. Nice to have a winter meet up. Hope all the guys can make it and be nice to do another club night. I know a lot of people are saying they will do this years one. So is it straight to the bumper cars or the trampolines? looping lee Count me in too ! I think a pirate themed night out is a good idea , has anyone got a parrot ? Big Stevie B I`m not bringing any of my parrots. They love me but can be agressive to strangers. Are we realy doing fancy dress as Sparrows? I believe Argos sells Jack Sparrow costumes? May be wrong, will have a look. I like checking out the wonder Woman and Supergirl ones. Now i just need a lovely girl to modle them for me. Bunnie Big Stevie B wrote: I like checking out the wonder Woman and Supergirl ones. Now i just need a lovely girl to model them for me. I don't mind modelling the supergirl one, when I was growing up I demanded my parents call me Supergirl Rachel, lol. Big Stevie B How will Andy deal with our dressing up stuff Buns? lol Now we just need a Wonder Woman to complete the set. Whos woman can i steal next? smiler Youve stoll jess a few times mate so not here lol. Thanks magic for letting us no bout the deals etc whats the guys name when we get there I forgot. Looking forward to it now. Big Stevie B http://www.flickr.com/photos/stev...0064098/in/set-72157601129541816/ Was this the guy you spoke to Magic? If it was guys, there is no way he will have forgot about us from last year. We raised 6 hours of hell on that pier and made alot of people ride the rides because our group was having fun.[/img] Magic Yep, that's the rides manager and JR formerly of PBB's nephew. He hasn't forgotten you lot. bluea61 Ha! How could he forget, I'm sure i still have the dodgem bruises. Big Stevie B I`ve been walking weird for 11 months from the one hour extreme trampoline session. Plus my bumper car derailed over the side of the ride remember. Because everybody outside came running over but i was weeing myself laughing. I did love when the ride staff started to join in the carnage. smiler Dont for get no jumping from trampoline to trampoline ok For those who want to see how much fun we have the video can be found in my video section. Big Stevie B post it now Dave, in here. I never had full Internet access a year back and never got to see it. Plus what happened to the go gator rollback video mate. My Space says it`s no longer available on you Tube? hazzzzeeee Thats the best video ever! Watched it the other night, it brings back the memories! smiler Go on to the links on my main site and then on you tube click more from this user there all in there.

I just paste YouTube addresses in here. smiler http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOQOBUQ0SvU hope this works Big Stevie B I have people angry at me now. My works Christmas party is the same day as the Saturday night for this trip. I`ve decided i`ll have a lot more fun with you guys. If i go to my works do, ill end up with with feeling annoyed at people. Plus have to put up with the girl i`ve had a thing for for ages wanting to be friends and pleasant with me. I prefer when she blanks me, it`s easier to think about lol. This one has to be extra special now. Hope everybody is going to make it. smiler When on a trip to Alton towers someone said to me that there is a small park down the road called Fort fun. This has a runnaway train coaster in it. Its in eastbourne and looks to be like 40ish mins away and opens at 10. The pier might not open till 12 so may be a good idea for those who like to get those extra ticks in. stealth fan Me and Mum have done Fort Fun. It's to the east of the main pier about a mile. Not a bad park, but can't remember what else they had. Regatta So, hang on a bit - what date is it exactly? Hoping to get there this time as I couldn`t make it last year. Don`t expect me to join you on the trampolines, though!! Big Stevie B 9th December Mary. A sunday. Hope you will let Andy play out with us Sparrow lovers on the saturday night as well. lol. stealth fan Big Stevie B wrote: 9th December Mary. A sunday. Hope you will let Andy play out with us Sparrow lovers on the saturday night as well. lol. I'm not the clubbing type. I'm happy just to do the sunday. bluea61 NOT CANCELLED!!!! See next post...... Big Stevie B We don`t need to cancel guys. We could find somewhere cheep to stay in Portsmouth and the Brighton day is still a go ahead. Best of luck Steve. Big Stevie B Could still do night out clubbing in the Brighton area. Then also find somewhere cheep to stay in the area as well. It`s off season, we may be in luck. Plus we would be in the local area for the next morning at Fort Fun for the Coaster Credit hunt and the meet-up on the pier. No reason at all for the day to be effected. Plus anybody who wants to join us for a good laugh of a day is very welcome. stealth fan Sorry to hear that Blue. Looks like a drive to Brighton early morning is in order. bluea61 See the next post of mine..... nemesis scribe bluea61 wrote: CANCELLED!!!! I'm afraid the night out is a no go now, I have to goto Cannes until February so won't be around. Sorry guys. You're going to Cannes????? What kind of lame excuse is that Sorry to heat that blue dude, but work has to come first as it pays for your trips. The weekend will not be the same without you guys though. Good luck in cannes AD bluea61 Well after much soul searching and unhappy feelings I've decided thats not what I want and am no longer going! What a difference a weekend makes. So basically what I'm saying is, its back on!!! Still details to sort out but Portsmouth night out is a go, but I like Stevie's idea about Fort Fun stevencaine Cannes Brighton pier no contest really smiler Good man blue man glad you can both still come etc. Hopefully we can get that extra coaster credit in at fort fun. http://www.fortfun.co.uk/ See you there guys looking forward to this now bluea61 I still need replies from the emails guys, I need to see who is staying. Bunnie Did you get my reply Steve? bluea61 I got ur reply. Big Stevie B bluea61 wrote: I got ur reply. I sent you a text on your old number the day after you sent the original email. Did you get that Steve? bluea61 So far the confirmeds for the night out are: Stevie B, Carol, adEm, Lee, Rach, Me and Hayley.

Does anybody want to make this trip to pick up the tick?? Its a little past Brighton but we could get there early get it done and drive back to Brighton ready for Pier opening at 12? Big Stevie B I`m a definite if we can get in. As of the last time i spoke to smiler, he had not received a reply to his email from the park. Plus if you look at the site it says its open from February? I`m wondering if its closed at the moment? We need to get some type of response from the park. I think they have a phone number on the site. smiler Im giving both parks a ring next week as dont want to ring them early just in case they forget that day. Im confussed bout that site but soon as I know I will post it on here. Not long to go guys bluea61 Nice one mate keep us informed.

Ok, not to worry. Will see what time trains are. Bunnie Secret Santa for Brighton Hi Guys I had a thought for Brighton and wondered if anyone would be interested. I was thinking about co-ordinating a secret santa - this would involve me gathering names of everyone interested, putting the names in a hat and drawing them out. I would then email you each individually to give you the name of the person to buy a present for. I'm not talking about expensive presents, I am thinking more along the lines of a traditional "tat" present i.e. something from poundland, yorkshire trading co etc. Thought this would be a fun way for the group to celebrate a mini Christmas together as it will be the last time we will all be together before New Year. This is not a compulsory thing so for those who are interested please let me know by email or private message asap and I will be able to do a draw for it Thanks Bunnie nemesis scribe Re: Secret Santa for Brighton [quote="Bunnie"] I was thinking about co-ordinating a secret santa I'm not talking about expensive presents, I am thinking more along the lines of a traditional "tat" present i.e. something from poundland, yorkshire trading co etc. Hmmmmmmmm sounds interesting. Yeah, count me in!! Any excuse for me to buy some tat. Like you say, whats £1 when buying somone a quality item of joy for a good friend in the club???? If anyone can beat my £1 tat present i bought ice blast then bring it on LOL!!!! Adem Big Stevie B I bet Stevie B. Badd can out tat you. I`m in after that. stevencaine yep sounds good put my name in the hat Bunnie its Dave ok Bunnie Stevie B - I'd definitely like to see you try and beat the present that was bought for Iceblast, that was the best tat ever. Steve C - I have added you to the list too Big Stevie B Steve C? What? Hello? Like treadmarks here? lol Mr. Caine or `What did he walk into now` will do fine. Only one Stevie B. Badd. The small guy I bet i`m sadder than every sparrow in the group and can out tat any of you. looping lee Secret Santa is a cool idea , me and my family do this every year at christmas and it always brings up alot of laughs !! Where is yorkshire trading co. Adem ? smiler Nothing could beat the shop at coney island where you can nearly buy a whole wardrobe for a £1 or two or some good quilty coney island merchendise like a shopping bag. bluea61 Smiler it was Barry Island fashions!! Count me and Hayley in to. On the Saturday what time is everyone thinking of turning up? I spoke to Adem last night and we were saying about doing something on the Saturday during the day before the night out, last year we went up the Tower and had Cat Curry. If your up for it make a suggestion and we'll see what everyone wants to do. Coaster Toaster Count me in to please rach for the santa thing Big Stevie B I`m working until 4pm so will be there about the same time as last year. May be traveling with Steve Caine now. Is Steve Caine a good for staying at yours Blue-man?

So I wouldn't worry. Andy/Rach - Both more than welcome. Adem turned up about 11-12ish and we kinda went from there really. I know you guys live a little further away so its up to you guys really. Ideas so far would be, Harbour Tour, Tower, Crazy Golf, Bowling anything really. You name it Pompey has it. Steve C - Sorry mate I thought I had replied to you, its all good for you to stay as long as you don't go wondering off anywhere on the night out!! But seriously not a problem. Ill send you and everyone an email soon with my address and that so you can find us. Bunnie We're picking Dan up on the way down but around that time sounds good to me, not sure how long it will take us to get there.

I have got a list of names for secret santa, will post the list here either Wednesday/Thursday evening to make sure I have included everyone. Should be a laugh stealth fan Any chance of lifts if we get in seperate cars? Don't mind who we go with. Might even join you all for a while at Gunwharf. I've only been up the Tower twice lol. nemesis scribe I'll prob get there midday (if thats ok blue man) and do whatever / go with the flow etc. Hmmmmm a cat curry sounds 'purrrrr-fect' hehe.

Bunnie Thanks Steve, can you PM me Carols email address please Big Stevie B She has no Internet connection so she can`t read it.
