"A run to the hills" 24-26 March 2006

It was the first UKGSer weekend event that Mandy and I organised and by the time we bowed out five years later we had put together eleven of them .

We were blessed with the weather

Hard to believe it's ten years ago.

Hi, I missed that trip, took a ride round the coast a few months later, there was a lot of beautiful scenery to take in. Lucky people living is a grand country!!
Aidan, Mandy - thank you!!

Don't know how I missed this post..

Me too.

Mandy, Aidan your relentless efforts and meticulous planning have been enjoyed by many over the years, even Mandy's direct line to the weather gods was appreciated by everyone.

A huge thank you to you both

Ten years has passed by very quickly. Have to say it was a great weekend

Same here....

Thier hard work & friendship, especially to me has been mmmmmm can't find words that seem fitting.
They welcomed a Englishman with various disabilities into thier home & life, even inviting me to spend Xmas with them and there wider family.

The events were beyond mere words, they thought of everything & I know we're enjoyed by all... ( especially me )

I can say that all the Irish events that I have attended have been top notch ( thanks to all who had thier hands in them )

I am so thankful I ventured to the emerald Isle & have made so many special friends, all have gone out of thier way to assist me......




So if you haven't been to an Irish event, you really are missing out...

Just give a contrary response; I can remember very little about the Irish events I've attended
