Chris,
Been following this thread for a while and would have loved to come down but would have felt a bit of a fraud as we haven't got our motorhome yet..

Any decent catches to report.. ?

You should have gone along Mick & Kim. Everyone would have made you welcome. You're a signed up Funster, Motorhome or not.

Pop down this morning if you are close by, and introduce yourself to Chris and the gang. There's bound to be a kettle on the boil amongst them.

Cheers for now,

Jock & Rita.

I'm not a fisherman but went along for the fun. Chris chose a great site, very picturesque. Thanks to Fran (Chris's wife) for running all the Funsters into town and for sorting out a cracking breakfast this morning. Met a few new funsters and met some older ones again (Hi Kath ) Lovely weather, lovely company. Thanks again, Chris and Fran, Brilliant:thumb::thumb:

We must definitely organise another meet there next year, Well worth a visit. :thumb:

Hi Chris & Fran

Well, we were very lucky with the weather for October. Much colder down South today. Thanks for arranging a lovely meet in very pretty surroundings.

Special thanks to Fran for ferrying us girls to the shops and sorting out the bacon rolls on Sunday morning.

Am glad the fishermen enjoyed themselves and I didn't do too bad on the shopping front

See you all soon

We have not long arrived home from this great meet, Thank you Chris and Fran for a great w/e, we thoroughly enjoyed

Thanks also to Fran for taxiing myself and other ladies about on Saturday - to and from Banbury and then on sunday for the lovely Bacon rolls !

Very pretty site with plenty of room, with ehu too... and the weather was perfect with bright sunshine and very warm, shower facilities here I am told were excellent, also the warden here is very helpful and friendly and has amazing birds at the falconry

Lake/s looked well stocked ...hope there is another meet here in the future:thumb::thumb:

Lovely meeting new folk and catching up with other friends

Thanks Chris and Fran for fitting us in on saturday evening and to all you funsters for such a warm welcome, it was lovely to see you all old and new, merry and enjoying the last bit of sunshine.

We were told this morning that we will not be charged for entering the low emmision zone on the A20 THANK GOD FOR THAT:thumb:. BUT a word of warning to all you campers ENTERING INWARDS TO LONDON OF THE M25 it is your own resposibility to make payment, , you do not get a bill, just a fine. We were told today you can pay before you travel and you now when you are in the zone it is upto you to pay the £200 PER DAY. We were told with our van we will be charged in 2012. WE WONT BECAUSE WE WONT BE ANYWHERE NEAR LONDON :Angry:

Well I’ve been back a day (straight back to work) but I have to say if that fishing meet is typical of the Fun meets then we will be there again.

Big thanks to chrisgreen for the organisation and especially to Fran for throwing all the girls together with her taxi service into Banbury, Jackie met some new friends and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We were not the only ones there for out first meet as liverpool (Sue & Paul) and littlehouse (Liz & yellowhand Clive) were enjoying their first meet too, thanks guys for making us feel at home.

(Cath and John) champers also made us feel very welcome though John seemed more in anguish about what the Mrs had spent in Banbury than he did about the Wales France score line. Great Pimms BTW.

MONSI also went to Banbury with C.L.S but they could only describe the inside of the Pubs they’d visited.

sparky_speedy (Debs) went to Banbury with the rest of the Gaggle whilst Paul made the most of the fishing opportunity along with son of liverpool.

On the Saturday evening Ambilkate (Kate, Bill and Amanda) turned up unannounced on their way back from a London trip and made the party Ten Vans. Really great to meet you guys.

There was also a big yellow fella there with the most gorgeous wife and daughter Sian and Katie, his name escapes me, but he spent much of the time in his van shouting at the telly Proof Positive that even a Big Soft Englishman supports the Home team enthusiastically. Jim, yeah that was it.

Great Breakfast, great scenery, great weather, great meet, great spot, great people, great “Fun”, thanks again.

You'll ruin my reputation For the record I wasn't cheering wales, I was watching an old re-run of the 2003 World Cup Final

Glad you two enjoyed your first meet, you must do it again:thumb:

 

[liverpool]

Hello Funsters,

Well you will never believe this, I have managed to steal a few moments on Chris's laptop while he isn't looking.

I would just like to say a big thankyou for all of you that made it to the fishing meet last weekend.

Thanks to Cath & John for dinner x 2, thank to Sian for her assistance along with Cath on Sunday morning.

Thank for all the great company, and just fantastic meeting the new faces and familiar faces.

Let's hope that the next meet we do will have just as good weather, couldn't of wished for better.

Thanks again.

Fran. (Chris's better half).
