Definate yes. I'll have roger send a cheque. To whom do you want it sent yourself Ian or Steve.

Probably easier if it's all the same to you if it's sent to yourself. I assume the place available id for a brunch option?

Quite frankly this is a touch of genius I would probably add some random catagories - just to cover all random events. I will post the same on trip one - green on its way to you Sir.

There has been a team change to gig 2

The following reasons apply;
1 Warmwaterdiver is quite frankly afraid of Jag and his chocolate bar intentions
2 We (on gig 1) were not offered a suitable amount of chocolate - he has therefore been kidnapped to trip 1 along with the chocolate - this was Blanaids idea BTW
3 As you may know Steve S was very unlucky to take a hit at the Selsey gig, he has had to drop out of gig 1. Warmwaterdiver has very kindly offered to change weeks - knowing that there was a suitable replacement for gig 2. So many thanks to him for stepping up to the plate

[AirAssisted]

Many thanks to all of you who offered to give up your £7 per head to ensure that Steve S was not left out of pocket. As a suitable replacement has been found, Steve will not lose a penny

Thanks to Reeve also, for twisting his 'other' buddies arm and making him join trip 2.

Thanks to Warmwaterdiver, for offering to move gigs (although we know he had an ulterior motive )

And thanks to me, for making loads of phone calls :P

[AirAssisted]

In preparation for our trip, please would everyone PM me an ICE number (in case of emergency) and a name to go with that number. If anyone has any medical conditions (alcoholism doesn't count) please make me aware of it also. In the event of these details being needed, then it would be very handy to have them.

Cheers, Paul

Sorry Paul but more importantly

1. Steves place is now filled on this trip
2. Steves place on the Mull gig is now filled ;>)
3. Chocolate logistics are now easier, it'll be on week 1 with PLENTY left over for week 2
4. I was getting scared of JAG!

Roger, says he saw on the website that 12L cylinders and weights are supplied. If this is correct then it reduces the amound of kit needed to be brought up. Does anyone know if they're O2 clean too?

Question. Dive indi 12l's of bring twinset???
