I have, Got a Wedding Friday evening - Don’t want to go but Mrs Pash said if I wanted her to come on the Poker Run I had to go to the wedding, got to go to the golden wedding anniversary - again payback for spending a fortune on the boat !!
Mrs Pash was at drivers last Saturday with me and I said I would take her to Gun Wharf TD Piped up with "he's spent at least £2K on the boat about time he spent some on you"
So.... at Gun Whaf I bought 3 pairs of shoes (For Me) 2 pairs of O'Neil Shorts (For Me) and a new 7mm wet suit (For Me) as going diving in Catalina end of August...
For Mrs Pash....... I bought her Lunch
So now you know why Sunday is a NO NO
Not a case of Prioritising (Ive done that) more a case of PAY-BACK

Bad news I'm affraid.
OK, We've (Gill & I) discussed this at length this morning, and sadly, we feel the best option, given the horrid weather forecast for pretty much all day Saturday, is to postpone the Poker Run until next Saturday. (Aug 16th)
We know this won't suit, or please everyone, but feel it's the right choice.
We had the option of running it the day after (Sunday 10th) but we've never run these events on a Sunday, because the evening bash, which usually goes on pretty late would be hard for most to do, especially those who've travelled a long way. Also, the other bookings such as lunch etc are not easy to change with such short notice.
What we need now is a 'roll call' of the entries who's seen this notice of cancellation. Gill is just emailing me the full list, which I'll post, and we need everyone to shout 'ye' to confirm they've seen it. It would be helpfull if anyone who has contact details for someone who doesn't respond on the list, to contact them and help us out here.
We're very sorry this has turned out this way, and obviously hope most can re-schedule with us for next week (let's hope the weather is a little kinder then).
The roill call:
Martin Warren (Pash) x
Adrian Foulser
John Hedges
Daryl Boswell x
Lawrence Philp x
Stewart Eyre x
Andy Edwards
Scott Younger x
Gary Roberts
Splash –
Maxim Gibson
Taz
Darren
Daniel Cramphorn
Kim Collins
Dean Gibbs
Jonathon Fryer x
Alan Watt
Bob Turnbull
Nick Gilley x
James Ashby x
Neil Holmes x
Gordon Compton x
Shelley
Steve Driver
Marc Lamont x
Vee Ganjavian x
Nick Daly
Gareth Williams x
John Fuller x
Tony Davies x
Dean Gibbs x
I've added a cross to all those who I think already knows.

The Hunton won't be ready till next week as we found some more problems. Happy to help out with safety or if you loose some entries we will make up the numbers.

Can I just apologise to all, Leaving Sarfend for Cowes tomorrow morning at nine in the XPS. You know well from the Thames Tear up that whenever I arrange to put to sea the weather turns to shite So sorry guys
Still should be around next weekend as well so might run in to you all. All being well might even leave her down for the CTC.

I'm in any day. Next Sat no probs
About all I'll chip in is the day should be fun & enjoyable not just for us but for those we take along with us. Rain & Wind would have taken the edge off for many of the "guests"
Will have to be a splash & dash on the 16th though as plans for the evening.
I just had a thought What's big brothers position on us dashing about the Solent with "Look a like" firearms
Will be down at drivers tomorrow 8th anyway as I have all the "Chute" Activation bits to install & some other odds
