My dear dear Boyd,
I am afraid that I will not be able to attend to wish you bon voyage and fare thee well as much as I would like to, as I would have to back in Aberaeron speaking welsh by eight the following morning.

That said, be assured that my best wishes and prayers go with you on this adventure.

Steffan

PS is there a ferry from Iran to Dubai? That would make a great shed meet, ride Europe to Turkey, Iran and then ferry to Boyd's shed meet, mind you the usual fare of sausage and bacon might prove a problem.

The Plough is a bit *******e these days and probably wouldn't be too keen on our company. I know the bar manager there (an old school friend) so I will sound him out.

The nearby British Legion club is better (although the decor is dire), cheaper and very very friendly. I will see the steward (an old work mate of Gareth's) tonight to see if we can snaffle a private corner of the bar and get some scoff too.

Sounds like a good evening  ;)

This has got all the makings of a good move GC, reports of the pluff are not encouraging, well done for "grasping the nettle" so to speak. We are both intending to be there.

Hi Steffan
Many thanks for your best wishes and the prayers which, given your insider dealings, should carry more clout.

Best wishes to you and yours.
Boyd

PS I will organise a shed meet asap and wait expectantly for Mark and Ifor to come putt-putting over the sand dunes. And yes pork is available in limited supply so no excuses!

Cheers for that Graham. I am more than willing to be guided by local knowledge. As I don't know the Legion I will initially wait at The Plough from 19:30 onwards for other folks to arrive and then we can drift over.

See you soon
Boyd

Spoke to the steward of the Legion last night and he's more than happy for us to take up a corner of the bar. I've arranged for us to have sandwiches and chips too.  :)

Will sort out all the details in the next day or two.

Excellent idea - the Legion is much better than the (now) snobby Pluff. The new landlord has moved dramatically up market and has broken what used to be a great pub.
I'm sure to make an appearance at some stage during the send-off.

See you all there 8)
