Yes Lou
Like meeting with you and a few others it is so nice to put Faces and voices to people!
All the Lads that I have so far met I can honestly say have been really great and we all seemed to click straight away
But I think that's just the way we old Seaman are. Men of the World so to speak!
I am sure you will have a nice meet with Peter and his dear Wife!
So another to add to your list mate!
Hope you are well and still doing your jumping excercises LOL!
Take Care

It was so nice talking to Alf on the phone too! Another great Guy!
Cheers

Hi Jim
I was just referring to the Overseas Members who we do not usually get a chance of seeing due to distances.
Sure I do remember the UK Members I have only been to one Meet Up in 2013. unfortunately couldnt go last year due to my very radical medication.
BUT I do remember after nearly two years .... .....
Our Lou again, You, Gilly, Ken Kenny, John Pru, John Albert, Ivan, Mick, AJ. George , Colin,
I have met Chris Allman and Ron Manderson previously. But if there is anyone I missed out from 2013, I appologise.
So ` if the good Lords willing and the creeks dont rise,` I will try to be there this year.
Cheers
Brian.

With some luck at some stage I am still hoping to meet a good few in the UK ,but plans are still in the pipeline!
Cheers

[Lou Barron]

I hope that you can make the trip Vernon i know it is a long way and it can be abit expensive but it is a great to meet those guys over there
You can always come over here its not that far but you would not meet a lot of guys here

[Doc Vernon]

As said Lou mate
Am looking but not too sure!
Even have looked at a Cruise of 19 days around NZ too!
Visits Dunedin but just for the day,and that wont be nay good!
But will see what happens!
Would really love to go back to UK ,Liverpool,Birmingham,Southampton,Plymouth. ??????
Who knows where the Wind blows!
Cheers

[Richard Quartermaine]

Would really love to go back to UK ,Liverpool,Birmingham,Southampton,Plymouth

Me too Vernon only the travel insurance would cost more than the trip or the exclusions would cost me extra luggage!

Yesterday 26th i had the good fortune to meet another one of our members Peter Card and his good wife Margaret the was on a cruise ship that called into Port Chalmers and to me it was a very enjoyable few hours we had and by coincidence Margaret told she had been to Dunedin a couple of times with the Leisure Marching team(this was started originally for older women to keep fit )well i told Margaret that my late wife Peggy was also in the Leisure marching for many years till she was into her Eightys .
I brought them to my home were we a good old natter over a cup of tea but me being a yap artist done most of the talking but Peter had some very interesting stories with Margaret talking about her marching days .
Then took them for a drive over Three Mile Hill to Mosgiel the back into town stopping at the Cableways Pub and had lunch then they wanted to see the steepest street in the World so i drove them to have a look unfortunattly time was running outso itook them to the bus that took them down to the ship it was a very warm day .
As they live in Auckland there is a possiblity that i will be going there as i have a daughter living there.
So who will be next???
