Nice to meet everybody last night - great to be amongst 'like minds' as opposed to people who think you're barking. Or maybe I am but I don't care anyway. Lost my visor whilst hacking back up the M23 so it was a bit of an eyestreaming end to the evening, but we must do it again! Cheers all

Belle

Thanks to all who showed up - it was good to put faces to names at last. In a few years I might be able to organise a meet in Zimbabwe (God and Bob willing)!

Go well

Hi guys, nice to give the happy story but I feel the need to let the cat out of the bag and tell what really happened-after all it's probably history now.
There we were in the Hanover. Two on the pool table, the rest in a group behind it, glasses in hands just beginning to converse. I hardly noticed the "ring ting ting" of a group of scooters stopping outside. I certainly didn't relate it to Quadrophenia and the Brighton of the 60's. The door was flung in and in rushed the green clad Mods. They knew bikers were there by the line up of bikes outside. they turned to us immediately and rushed the pool table aggresively. Quick as a flash Iain, our host, downed the first and biggest one! Good shot! Nice follow through! I had hardly taken it in but all together, as if trained, the HUBB group split left and right around the pool table and closed the pincer move, cutting the Mods off from any retreat. The three bar staff leapt the bar and opened the door offering support and leaving the Mods in no doubt they're not welcome. It is all credit to travellers that the Mods were removed from the pub without further violence and I doubt they'll be back. Well done Iain. Fine performance-in organizing the meet I mean. The was great as usual but sorry I can't remember any more of the night. Woke up this morning with a wry smile and the sun was shining again. Boy life's good! Sorry just felt the actual events were nothing to be ashamed of. Linzi, Hic.

Well done to all who turned up - not a bad turn out for a mid-week night.
Thanks to Iain for instigating the meet and we must do it again, may before Xmas or after new year.

See you all again soon and happy travels

Glad everyone had a good evening. Thanks for your offer linzi but it would have been painful! Feeling much better now so will definately be up for the next one. A friday would be even better as I have relatives in Brighton and could sleep there then . Take care all
Matt

Hear that Iain? A request for Friday. A worthy one to accomodate. They have a big private room too I was told but we might have to grease the staff a bit to avoid a charge. Linzi.

Enjoyed the evening.(Rather too much..)
Iain, Next time could we stop playing pool when we are ahead?
BTW I missed the fight probably happened when I was In the loo.

Looking foward to the rematch.

December would be good, but it all goes a bit mad, so how about Friday 9th Jan for the next Brighton meet, back at the Hanover. I'll put a proper posting up late November.

Iain.

Yep, assuming I get to Morocco I should be back and could bring along some photos or whatever one gets in Morocco. Don't know what yet! I'm left wondering if a mobile phone ring ting ting tone caused a flash back or was I in a parallel universe at the meeting? Was, am, it's all so confusing these days. Global warming, financial melt down- related? How come I risk hypothermia in Morocco now rather than heat stroke? It's meant to be HOT. My doctor said so and he's from Sudan! Linzi.
