That were grand (as our Northern companions would say)! Les took considerably more and better pictures than I did. Think I may have taken three, all of fish.

I bought 12 Yunnanilus cruciatus and Lee got some rasboras and a couple of bristle nose plecs. Bought some lovely wood for the hillstream project and a bunch of different kinds of food. Now for a quick water change and to get the new inhabitants in...

eeeeeee lad it were reet grand mate, nice to meet everyone, and a special thanks go to Chris and Ashleigh for transporting me there and back.
Steve and Emma you have a great shop peeps and the beer was OK too.the fish are bedded down now all settled in and happy, will post the best of the pics of the fish tomorrow, i'm to busy finishing some Grolsh i had in the fridge.

What, no Newkie broon? That's all I drink if I ever find myself in Middlesborough or the like.

I'll get some (hopefully) decent pics of our catches tomorrow.

*sigh
no video then, eh?

dont speak too soon shari.. who knows what might surface tomorrow :p

Looks like a good time was had by all.
Wish I could have been there.
Enjoy that Grolsh..that's good stuff!

It was great to meet up with everyone, I had a fantastic time! Feeling a little bit the worse for wear today though.... I am sure Hels and Les have more incriminating evidence from last night.

Hope everyone gets back safe and sound with their fishies. We shall have to do this again sometime soon.

Here's some pics, Les and Hels have more....


Dave (palaeodave), me, Susan (dlenn), Les (LES..), Mick (mickthefish), Chris (who is Ashleigh's other half), Ashleigh, Graeme.

David (daspricey), we were sorry that you had to leave the pub early because you had the long drive back home. Hope you had fun and are enjoying your new fishies.

Here's another couple of pics from the lunchtime pub:


Mark, Dave, me, Susan, Les.


Chris, Ashleigh, Graeme, Helen, Lee (khulikilla).

Back at the shop, Dave & Lee were 'rooting' through the wood, haha:


(Steve in the middle)

Here are a couple of blurry ones (!) from the other pub/hotel which we went to in the evening, and was where Mark, Graeme, Les & Susan were staying the night:


Graeme, Susan.


Me, Graeme, Mad Duff.

I am sure more will follow......

i had a great time, it was good to see new faces to put to the people hopefully next time we shall get to meet the poeple who couldnt make it this time, sorry to have not seen you

i had to restrain myself from buying fish, as i had arrived home from new zealand at 6pm the day before, so i need to catch up on tank mantenance first, but i did finally remember some silicon glue to make my loach hotel.

however midnight came round so quick i do not know, time went so quickly. i do have some incriminating eveidence, but i shall have to see which side gives the biggest bribes before i post anything

That was fun way to spend a a couple of days (-: no problems getting back and i'll upload a few more pictures once we have all the fish settled (-: Thanks to David for getting us all motivated for a meet!

That was an excellent couple of days, great to see so many people

Last night was a great laugh, I have to admit that I felt a little rough this morning but I dont think I looked as rough as Mr Robson

one day i'll stay over then we can have a decent session.haha

The lighting in the pub was crap, but here's a pic Hels took on her phone of me, Graeme & Mark LOL-ing!!!

The rough look takes years of life in the doghouse Mark....*woof rough*

Indeed it was a superb time meeting everyone! Such a large meeting with around 14 people this time. Excellent!

Great turn out peeps!
