Splish, splash........You will need to cool off after this year's quiz.
As it will be a team event the questions will be a bit tougher than usual. There will be a liquid prize for the winning team (and sufficient straws to enable sharing).

I'll post the questions on WC after the weekend for others to try.

See you there!

Many thanks to Richard for yet again setting up another superb EuroWeenie weekend and to all the attendees for their company and great playing.
Particular thanks to the Professor for his informative and entertaining workshops, also to Bobalong for his presentation.
I'm told Richard has already re-booked the hotel for next year.

Thanks all round I think for coming to support it and especially to Phil for pushing me to keep it going.

I think we all agreed the hotel was a vast improvement over the dreaded South Lawns, the staff being particularly friendly and the food far more edible  :)

Whilst there I did agree a provisional date of 15-16 April 2016 at the same room rates and am awaiting the confirmation from the hotel that is Okeh with them in terms of the function room availability - I will confirm that as soon as I know.

I second that!

I'll post pictures as usual when Slack creates a gallery for me. Don't get too excited in anticipation - it's more of the same old geezers (and young geezers Norfolk Slim & Harvey) playing the same old guitars. But you all love it don't you?

Another vote of thanks to Richard, Prof S, phil and Bob for the organisation and delivery of the weekend. Great to have all of that time available to play, sing and listen to all that bluesy stuff. ....and the Cheddar gorge was (to borrow an oft used phrase from our north american cousins) "awesome", it truly was!

I forgot to mention, that Blind Weenie Campbell's position may be a little tenuous as I invented a new character for our meeting: Blind Cheddar George. (Explanation for colonial types - we were close to a famous geographical feature called the "Cheddar Gorge".)

Stunning snaps now posted. I think Bob Long & Richard must have some as well. It would be nice to see some shots from a different perspective for once.

Anyone commenting that they look like the ones from last year, the year before, etc., etc. will be taken to task. They are of course different in that there's two or three more grey hairs around.  ;D
