Brum meet...

[JoM]

[Osc]

and we're flying to Cork!

Um.....Cork? Like Cork in Ireland? Like Cork that isn't too far away from Dublin? Like Cork that is on the same piece of land as Dublin

[Ally]

The very same!!

Don's finally getting round to taking his brother's Vietnam war medals to the museum.

His mum's passing has seen him 'getting things done'.

[JoM]

LOL Osc

Is it Cork where Don's parents originate from, Ally?

[Ally]

Yes Jo...a place called Blackpool.

Don's parents were both born there as was Ed the eldest son.

There's still family living there so I'll finally get to meet his elderly relatives...I'm really looking forward to that.

[Kaz]

That will be special Ally xxx

[Workingman]

Well now....

If I remember correctly we hardcore Brummers had a discussion about the 2018 meet - would it be a day trip or a stopover?

July 10th is fine by me, and I am fine with either, but it would be nice to know which it will be before we get there. The stopover deals have got a lot more expensive from when we started, but they are more relaxed than a day trip might be.

Thoughts?

[Ally]

Having just booked flights....

Can I be presumptuous and call for Tuesday 10th July please.

[Kaz]

Yes, that date is fine by me Ally

Frank, either is good for me, I'm only an hour from home, but it might be a bit of a schlepp for Ria, all in one day?

[Ally]

That will be special Ally xxx

Indeed...a certain Rosie and I are in confab about meeting and having lunch.

#excited!

Love VV!
