Right Troops, this looks like it's taking form and looking like a play!! Here's the original details from the thread that was started on 'Wrecks'.
Lou, Tim and Andy2Tanx are already up for it. Please can we have other interested parties names in the hat??

" OK then, let's try this as a stake in the ground.
DATE: Saturday 08th and Sunday 09th March 2003
VENUE: Anglesey Wrecks (various) and Treaddur Bay shore dives
ACCOMMODATION: TBA Various, but will include B&B, Camping/Tents or kipping in your vehicle.
The site location means that everyone will have to travel so, with a few exceptions, no one can claim home/lazy advantage.
The wrecks range from 10 to 40+ metres (plenty in the 20 m range for those not comfy with deeper stuff) and the shore diving is glorious. We can also hire RIB and Cox for the day if we so desire, or just the RIB, as there are a number of folk on here that have their RYA Part 1 & 2 and can skipper the beast.
If we use Mike's Dive Shop at T-Bay, then we can park and get fills - 21% and Nitrox. The benefit of using Mike is that his dive centre is literally on the beach, a hop, skip and waddle to the water's edge and in striking distance (3 mins in a car) to one of the island's top eateries (to suit all budgets).

OK boys and girls, let's have your hats in the ring please and we can look forward to getting this gig off the ground.
Safely assume that any hard boat we take out will cost about £35.00 per person per day, plus incidentals (fuel etc.) Again, safely assume that we'll be doing at least two dives a day off the boat.
Accomodation will range from Campsite fees to the cost of a B&B (say £15 to £30 per night, dependent on quality). Do not let the fact that I've not yet posted precise per night costs for either B&B's or Campsites be a governing/deciding factor in your wish to join this trip - we are, after all, going for the diving.
Goes without saying that non-diving partners are most welcome. I'll go ahead and begin enquiring as to decent hard boats for that weekend and get back here with more precise info on the trip out-lined above.
Can I please see what level of interest exists by you guys posting here whether you're up for it or not so that I can see type and size of boat(s) that will need to be booked??"
Come on then, let's be having you. With me added to the above three that makes four (if my maths hasn't completely deserted me!).
