Same here August plus Chris and those others I've never actually met.

Despite the fact there is probably a great deal more to see than in previous Meets (not meaning there was little or nothing at those) I detected a slight hint about a month ago things weren't quite the same as previous years, especially after reading Neals post casting doubt on his ability to attend.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being critical of anyone involved in the organisation or running of the event because as I've already stated, this Meet has the makings of the best one yet, certainly for choice and amount of content.

I think I was a little upset at the fact I couldn't find a travelling partner but would like to thank Steve for offering to share with me.

I was gambling on the fact you didn't snore anywhere near as much as TarJak LOL

As is my custom you'll recall I brought t-shirts and U-boat swordfish badges to Texas two year ago.

This year I have purchased some kit from Germany (eternally grateful to H_sie for his assistance and trusting my ability to send Int. money orders) for those very same people.

I'll speak with Neal after the trip and see if the postage isn't too high, failing that they'll just have to keep till the next Meet.

I'm sure you'll all have a great time.

SINK EM ALL!!
