    Default A Dunedin meeting

    Last night i had the good fortune to meet John Sabourn it was only a short visit but i really enjoyed meeting up with John we had a good old natter i also met his good wife .My son Wayne drove me down to the hotel so that i could enjoy a couple of G&T all on John and he also gave me a bottle of Very Lynn (GIN)very much appreciated.

    Hi Lou
    Glad that you managed to get to meet up with John,although I don't know or have met him.I am sure like many others here on site and some I have already had the good fortune to meet ,he is one of the same stock!
    Just looking at the Heading Lou!

    Wonder if one day we could possibly try and arrange a Meet like we have in Liverpool and Southampton,but in Dunedin that would be something new,and I am sure could turn out a great meeting! ??

    Lets see how things go!

    Anyone interested!?? Leave your thoughts here ,not your Money LOL

    Hi Lou, We are going to be in Dunedin on the 26th. of January as passengers on the '' DIAMOND PRINCESS '' for the day. My wife has visited several times but I have never been any further south than Christchurch. She is busy organising shore trips to Larnack Castle and Olveston House for us both. However do you think we might manage a meet up and introduce ourselves to you ?? Hope to hear from you, regards Peter in NZ.
