Have a great time.
The ironic thing is that the wife and I are arriving in the UK this Sunday (Newcastle) and, will be driving down to my Sisters in Southampton. I'll miss seeing you all. It was fun last year

We'll miss you too, David.

I hope you will bring some decent weather with you - we are in need of it!

Take care,
Ham.

I'm sure many of us would like to see some salmon fishing pictures too, if it's not too much trouble.

Alex, if you're there please get in touch.

As you will see from Derek's thread - Alex was in Cardiff today. I know he is expecting to be collected at Luton Airport on Sunday and I dropped him off at Newport Station for him to travel back to Bristol for his flight.

He doesn't expect to be home until late tonight but I'm sure he will respond as soon as he can.

Look forward to seeing you on Sunday as well as, at last, the legendary Hamish!

Thanks Trefor, Alex has now been in contact, all arrangements in place! I was just concerned about missing him.
Looking forward to meeting you too.
