OK all........

So I'm not going to add anymore pictures of Bobbie to this thread, well not for the next few weeks......but, so that you all don't get upset Jurgen and I have had a much better idea!!!!!!

You are invited to the official unveiling of Bobbie at Grand Slam workshop on Saturday 6th Feb from 11:30am until 1:30pm. We will be lighting the Braai and we will be cooking genuine German sausage. I will also bring a few beers but please feel free to bring some with you too......

All I need to know is numbers as I need to pre order the food!!!!!! So you in?

I didn't need to ask you silly!!!!! See boys can do stuff..... I can't be there before 11:30am as Emma has me running the kids around before that so if you can light the braai?

So far it's, you, me, the german, Stanley and crew, Tom, Muds, Farhaad (Muds will drag him)......

Is Jurgen also going to clear the floor so we can also do a little chatting about other's rides?

Muds, no worries....there's loads of water on tap :lol: I'll bring something special for you guys imported from the UK!!! :hangloose:

Can't make it. I'm on a course that day. Skippers course, and receiving my boat and getting taught how not to kill myself and others when using it. :shock:

I'll see Jurgen this leave, definitely, and he'll see the Notch and we'll talk.
