Tilbury Port's TEN minutes away from where I work!!

(trust me Tilbury's a REAL sh*thole & NOT somewhere worth hanging about to do any sightseeing!!)


How many of you're coming Raf' mate & where will you be staying??

If I can fit you all in my truck I'll gladly pick y'all up & take you on to where you're going??





& btw YES I'll be at the GTG!!

Trust me it's happenin'!!!!


And St. Katherine's is currently favourite I believe but if anyone has any other ideas/recommendations I'm certainly open to suggestions.


(just a reminder though guys I can't do the weekend of 27th/28th/29th May.)

We'll be hitting the UK at the end of June 2011 now all.....probably around for most of July - with trips here and there :)

So - hopefully if you are still having a GTG in May we'll be able to have another one in July as with 2010?

Or - can this one be shifted to early July? I have no idea what Raf is on about! Is he coming or what!? I know it's dependant on that.

BUT - there MUST be a GTG in July...otherwise I'll fill Australia with tears!

Hi Dalip, how's it going? Hope all is well.

Not too sure what going on with Raf, but I think a May GTG is pretty certain.

I'm sure we can do another one in July, but let it be known that I may not be able to make it at around certain days....

(we are having one in early Feb also )
