Yep twas great to meet you all, shame I had to leave relatively early but still didn't manage to get enough sleep to deal briliantly with children all morning. Still, it's all over now thank god. At least I didn't have a hangover too!
Only made one child cry today...
So we'll be celebrating 3 birthdays at the next social then, mine, M's and Meggles, cool!
Sorry I didn't get to chat to everyone, but you are probably thankful for that anyway, I was talking complete crap by the end of the night and oh, slurring a good'un!
Head still sore!
Oh and thanks to whoever it was who got me water just before I left, it stopped me from chucking up!
If you would like me to email you the pics from last night, then email me and I'll send them over once they are ready. If I already have your email address then I'll email them to you anyway.
I'll get a memory card for next one so I don't run out!
Cheers and thanks for coming, it was great fun (even if I didn't get a snog).
Caz.
P.S. Register to follow later and the name and shame list too!
P.P.S. Watertight reason for not going for a run today - U.D.I. (Unidentified drunken injury) to foot, possibly from a pint glass or someone stepping on it (possibly myself). Shall go tomorrow instead. PROMISE!
Thank you for a great night last night and for making my friend feel welcome.
I met too many to name and still didn't meet all.
I'll put the 28th in the diary.
Got there just after WWR from what I guess, followed by Dog Walker. The tables were then cleared & Mandy W (now M) came in. DW & I looked over a few times & asked ourselves if we thought that she was 'one of us'. I'm blaming DW as I did suggest (honestly) going over and he chickened out.
Left early-ish again (things to do this morning was my feeble excuse) but will try to stay until the night bus hour next time. Good to meet all of the newbies that I managed to speak to last night as well as seeing some of the more veteran URWFRC drinkers.
If I don't see you at Wokingham or Bramley then I'll see yaz again at the end of the month.
Thanks for the flowers - they're just what I needed to cheer me up.
Right I've emailed a lot of you the piccies I had. I must get a memory card for the next one!
Bum.

i was in the SJT at 1740 to 1745 - not a runner in sight and all six tables occupied, so couldn't sit down and wait it out.
given that i neede to be on the 6.30 train and that i had driven to the station cos of snow - so no grog - i blew the whiistle on myself then.
better planning and less snow next time will do the trick
still looking forward to seeing some of you (watford tomorrow, wokingham, bramley, reading, cranleigh, woking , berkhamsted and kingston....and FLM)
If you want to see piccies of last night, then please email me and I'll send them over to you.
Cheers

Well I left about 11.50 went for a chineese and burnt the living daylights out of my mouth so I have absolutely no taste buds this morning.
Saw Snoop Dog at Cahring Cross looking very very vague, he fell asleep shorthly after passing London Bridge and took a lot of shaking to wake him up at Petts Wood. He had to cry out of his training run this morning (I wonder why), and I understand woke up on the sette with MTV on still dressed from last night.
Kids let me sleep in until 7.30am before they started fighting, so I did get 4 hours sleep before being dragged out of bed, surprised to say no hangover, so for once I judged it right.
Caz, I gave you a chance for a snog but well, you turned me down so you can't say you didn't have a chance.
Jim the Plum Christopher replied to you.
See you on 28th possably, but possably not as I am doing Thanet 20 on 2nd and may be down there so we will see.
Jon, you really must sort out your drinking problem, beer is supposed to go down the inside of your throat not down the outside of your jeans!
Oh and I just noticed I am logged in as my 7 year old son who despite being our youngest member (yep he has a kit and races, and posts on the forums), didn't manage to make it last night as his horrible dad made him go to bed early, but don't worry Ill let him join us in 11 years!
Ashley
It was a pleasure getting drunken in such excellent company!
BigBopper-hopefully see you at Watford tomorrow (orange top right?
Cheers,
Col.
Caz - champion social secretary, well done
Got a leaving do on the 28th but will be along later .....
I feel soooo much better today for a early night. All I need to do now is go out for a run, go shopping and do the housework. Ah well.
Good luck to those racing today. (ARGH, two weeks to Sidcup!)

I'm very unphotogenic myself, either that or I'm dead ugly

What about the bloody gorgeous face? No? Damn
