Friday On
the way home from work the temperature was reading 3oC, so I
was not looking
forward to the next two nights in a tent.
Anyway we set
off and
arrived in Cruden Bay about 7 and went in to see Womble as he
was taking my tent over, he’s had it since S&S 2006 I just
never got round to collecting it, as it’s my “winter” one
I thought it might be a bit warmer.
With tent in
hand we signed in and had a look at what was on offer over the
weekend, Friday night’s band was “The Limit” a
young Inverurie band that we have had the pleasure of hearing
a couple of times in the past, Mandy went over to say hi and during
the conversation
we were offered a lift home, now my own bed or a cold tent............
yip no competition we gratefully accepted the lift.
Now Jack was
taking over and Mandy N me had taken up residence at the corner
of
the bar and between sharing a dram with old
friends and making
some new the night passed quickly, Al of “Bikers1” fame
came up to the bar for a blether, now normally we would be
in the field at
the “top box bar” but I was under orders not to
brake Al this weekend, see Vix I can do what I’m told
sometimes, the band finished about midnight and Womble finished
off the night with
his
disco. With chips an cheese ordered before we set off home
our first experience
of the Northern lights was off to a good start.
Saturday
Now the problem with getting a lift home was I had to get back
on Saturday, phoned Ron as he often turns up on a Saturday
but no joy as they had
something else on but Jane was going up, phoned Jane and
a lift was sorted.
“ Speedtrap” were the band we had to look forward to tonight
and with Womble nocking out some weird and wonderful
tunes we were set for
another great night.
Now
the problem with having a good time, fuelled by Sir Jack, is I
can’t
remember everything when it comes
to doing a report but if you were there I’m sure
you will remember some of these, like -
Jake
showing every one outside why he is a fanny
and
when a bus load of young ewes
arrived in fancy dress Jake tried to get them to stand
in a row with there backs to us and touch there toes, now the idea
in theory was a good een bit
diddna work ,

Shaky
doing his bit for drug counselling, reminding every one to stay
away from “crack”
and
the mad Welsh man with his “nip” tankard,
Trophies were
handed out for the usual stuff, got the pictures but can’t
remember all the names

Well Seth’s
sacred rum lake survived and the Red House will need to be re-stocked,
the door staff need to chill a bit, that imitation
waxed bomber jacket would have looked better if
he wore a “jobs
worth” cap with it. Ian and the crew that
are “Aberdeen MCC” and
the staff of the Red House did a great job and
as far as I know every one had a great time, and
I’m sure this one will
be on my calendar next year.
If you had an
F3 card forced upon you and are visiting for the first time and
would like a link to our
site drop Fat
Bob an
e-mail and he
will add you to our list of friends. Big Bri.
