right, looks like im the first back! 
got a lift with Sadgeek and MikeHunt79. Had to get back home today as we've all got work tomorrow 
Anyway, i'll keep the details to a low until tomorrow when the rest of the guys are home and back on. Needless to say it was a fantastic weekend, Matt was a brilliant host, and a massive thanks to his parents for putting up with us. There was plenty of drinking, plenty of eating (esp Otacon
), plenty of drinking, singing, camp fires, and fun for the whole crowd! (more to follow in a bit.....)

I must be the second one back then. Even tho it's the first ocuk meat (meet?) I went to, I really enjoyed it. Thanks Matt and his parents for organising it all.
As for pics, I forgot my camera (amoungst other things), so I ain't got any.

And meet-virgin Sadgeek just got home safely too.
Cheers to all involved for the great time, next time won't be so fraught with nerves over what everyone will be like
Big shout to MatBlacks parents, who did a great job of preparing a chilli for us all, and making sure we were well fed and watered throughout the weekend. Sorry for feeding the dogs so much

Ello!
Just got back...
Left at 12:30 - arrived at friends at 1:30....left there at 5:00 - just arrived home.
Loved the meet - nice to see so many people all together. Hated the traffic on the M4... 7 1/2 hours to do 260 miles.
Pics *and video of a certain screaming person once it's been bleeped..* will follow when I can stop myself dribbling into the keyboard tomorrow...
Kudos to Matblacks parents for allowing a load of rowdy drunken people to wander about on their lawn *and set fire to it.* and spoil their dogs rotten.
I think I hear my bed calling......

Just got in, the first home today I think.
Absolutely fantastic weekend, big thanks to Mum & Dad Matblack for their ace hospitality and an equally enormous thanks to Mat & H for sorting everything out. We should also thank Gilly for organising the whole present thing for Mum & Dad, hope they liked what we got for them
As for the actual meet, it was good to meet old friends and meet some new ones.
Things that will stick in my mind:
Me Fartmo me make fire
Crazy Freetrog being.....crazy:|
Thunderchild a la Nokia
Durrzz getting drenched in Oakwood
Huddy and his worrying bursts of man-strength.
Fartmo and Crazy Freetrog in burning lightsabre battles
Jarp for the win!
and of course...
UUUUULLLLAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!

[yawn]
I wish I had had more then 4 hours sleep last night
I'll post something coherent later but thanks to everyone who came along and made the weekend such a success, H and I really enjoyed it and so did Ma and Dad who where very pleased with their prezzies and say thank you again.
I was a pretty easy meet for me as my wonderfull wife did a lot of the organising so kudos to H especially for sorting out the kitty
We had some money left over from the Kitty (about £80) which is going to a charity which Ma and Dad chose, a cancer research foundation in memory of one of our family friends who died recently at a very young age, which was topped up by the generous donations from the prezzie fund.
Quite a rounded weekend and some good events to break up the drinking
We especially loved the Crystal Maze attraction at Oakwood, so much in fact that we went back again the next day
The beach was cool and we couldn't have hoped for better weather, even though Jilly thought it was too hot (he does live in the artic circle though).
Kudos to Andy100, Freetrog, Archetypeal Metrosexual and H for going swimming in the frezzing water and Druz for getting it up and playing with it whilst we all watched.
Thanks to Big Stan who must have made pretty much the biggest commitment of any meet go'er, ever (until Dutch Guy or one of our foreign friends shows up at a do) to come down from Scotland on the plane and spend nights in hotels either side of the weekend to be here.
The good news (if you enjoyed it) is Ma and Dad say you can comeback next year
