Noel was unable to join the party last year as he was in hospital but this year both of us were available to join the gathering at the Runnymede Hotel Egham for the get together. There was approximately 22 guests, there could have been more but many people travel away from home this time of year, but nevertheless it was a great part which started at midday and finished around eight pm.
After the rather excellent buffet lunch a quite a few bottles of wine then Kim and Steve started on their guitars to entertain us for a short while until we all had a go at Karioki. A really good night indeed.
We had decided to stay overnight in the Hotel as we were leaving the next morning for France via the ferry and wanted to be able to leave without all the usual fuss and bother of getting up, fiinsh packing and washing up etc so the night in the Hotel solved this problem.
So off the bed!!!
