Simultaneous Duck Launches. It would be great to coordinate this properly.

Becky and I will launch a Ruthie Duck into the SF Bay when the tide is going out, so hopefully the duck will exit through the Golden Gate, and the currents will take it along the CA coast.

Maybe some of the local CA folks would like to join us?

By then, we will be NV residents, if we can't make it to the UK we may join you in SF.

I'd be proud to have you ride virtual shotgun in the Munich Banger, Cathleen

No exceptions or caveats, I'll be there

Thanks, Carl. (Even if it's not in a Mini.)

Can Harpo go to the picnic guys and gals ?

YES

They are all as one, and agree that Harpo should attend this event

SoggyCornFlakes · Nov 28th, 2006, 01:53 PM

As you know Sham, I plan to be there

Sprydle · Nov 28th, 2006, 08:15 PM

I (we) will do our best - I need to see the relatives in the UK - it's been 10 years

- this has been a wake-up call!

NickyJ · Nov 28th, 2006, 08:22 PM

What a lovely idea, we'll be there all being well

Shamster · Nov 29th, 2006, 09:49 AM

Dogs, cats, horses - all welcome.

I've started a poll - please vote on your preferred choices. As it is a family event and because there are lots of other M2 events happening I've gone with the dates above. The dates should help those with children.

Bring your kids! Jackie (Minnie Mouse) has offered to help organise stuff for the kids (heaven knows why

)

I've voted for the July dates. The May and September bank holidays are the dates when we're most likely to be away

AprilWhine · Nov 29th, 2006, 10:01 AM

I vote for either of the July weekends, good chance of us being able to make that one. May would be unpredictable, we may be very involved with estate agents then.

MiniAdventurer · Nov 29th, 2006, 10:03 AM

i voted for the first weekend in may or the first july dates, but could probably rearrange things to get the second july dates as well
