Yep, well done to both Darren and Anne for a brilliant meet. Respect to Anne as well for being up and about this morning after last night! And my room was mercifully free of snoring and farting by normal WH meet standards. Over to Jaxter now. No pressure. :lol:

Commendations also to the two Alans for not just one but TWO quizzes. I am saying nothing about the length of the Saturday night one! :shock:

Well done to Darren & Anne for organising a superb meet in an excellent location. It was great to see a lot of old faces and a few new after missing the last few meets. Two excellent quizzes from Messrs Ross and Bellis, scones to die for from David Main, hell we even had acceptable weather :lol:

Looking forward to Jaxter's Spring meet, wherever it may be.

I can only repeat what others have said, thanks to Darren and Anne for organising the weekend, to the other members who were very welcoming, and especially to Parminder and Joey for their company on the hill. I had a great weekend.

Thank you so much for organising the meet, Darren and Anne. You two were amazing - you seemed to be cleaning up behind everyone all the way through, and it looked like really hard work! Thanks also to Alan for a fun quiz.

Another thanks to Darren and Anne for organizing the meet. One of the best hostels/bunkhouses I've been to I think, and lots of nice little extras like the raffle prizes (I didn't even enter :shock: :lol: ). Good to see folk again (and meet some new ones) - just a shame about the weather (but that's standard for a meet, so not really a problem!).

And cheers to Hugh for giving me a lift back to the Great Glen this morning :thumbup: .
