Next PC day out - Dec/Jan

Richard B · Post by **Richard B** » 12 Oct 2008, 20:16

Jools hinted he might be available then, & yesterday's participants seemed up for it so anyone else interested?

Is there a good date for us?

Where's it gonna be? BAS/Pier or Northampton/Oxford or "northern M25" again or somewhere else??????

Lets 'av your suggestions chaps!

I like the BAS/Pier option, never having been to either.
Richard, I've sent you a pm at synowatchuk; a follow-up to the Saturday trip.

* bump for Jools*

Does this soon "do-able" for you?

Martin S · Post by **Martin S** » 14 Oct 2008, 13:24

Am definitely up for it, although would prefer either Northampton/Oxford or Northern M25, only because Pier is 220 miles from me and a bit of a hike for a day's outing!

I think i'm up for anything! So we could squeeze in both dependant upon numbers, dates availability etc?

MatsP · Post by **MatsP** » 14 Oct 2008, 15:36

Given a date, I will probably be in for it too...

Does anyone wanna suggest a specific date...

Do we wanna do a "north run" AS WELL as a northants/oxford trip to maximise the number of people who could attend?

Chrysichthys · Post by **Chrysichthys** » 21 Oct 2008, 17:24

Oxford can't compete with 'north of m25' in terms of variety of catfish seen!

(But on the plus side, I know how to find all of the four shops).

are you referring to MA Oxford, Wheately, Northampton & Harlestone Heath?

Chrysichthys · Post by **Chrysichthys** » 22 Oct 2008, 15:09

I mean the four Oxford ones: MA Wheatley, MH South Hinksey, the Goldfish Bowl and Shirley Aquatics. I haven't been to the Northants ones.

_Might_ be OK, but I'd say January would be better. Bear in mind I'm hoping to become a father for the first time in November...

Hi, We just had a bus trip down from Scotland ..
We got some drinks and biscuits and crisps out for them.
If you want we will put you some light refreshments on ?
Cheers Pier Aquatics
ps I can always get some oddies in for you to look at too

Richard B · Post by **Richard B** » 30 Oct 2008, 00:37

Cheers for the offer - will let you know when the date is set.

As far as i can recall, there's always something good to look at at Pier

without any specific oddies, but was there something specific you had in mind?

Scotland and the Netherlands too in fact.

Sorry I couldn't make it in today, took 10 hours to get home after leaving Rupert, I got to Wigan about 7pm. It's 03:31 and I am still working with the fish I brought home.

Dear God, I hope it was worth it......

Not to hijack the post, but yes I think it was really worth it. Despite me driving home with the car at 84F, the fish were quite cool when I finally get them settled in but I think they will be OK.

Barbie gave me 6 of her precious L184 and they appear to be doing fine, secretive chaps, but look great.

Back to the topic in hand - what're we going to try? Anything anyone wants to suggest for a destination? Date etc?

grokefish · Post by **grokefish** » 07 Jan 2009, 07:38

The best thing I saw at pier when I last went there was the big holpo, it's worth it to see just that, if it's still there, and the giant panaque.
Has anyone been to Wharf aquatics recently? The big adonis is something to see.

Gents,

I will be "down south" a couple of times mid week in January. 28th January looks like a possible date if anyone can make it? Suggest worth doing if we get a minimum of 3 others? Up for discussion though.

Cheers,

Jools

MatsP · Post by **MatsP** » 07 Jan 2009, 09:35

28th sounds plausible.

Whereabouts are you going "down south" - anywhere near where I live?

Solihull & Slough

Jools

MatsP · Post by **MatsP** » 07 Jan 2009, 11:23

Well, Slough isn't that far from where I live - are you staying there overnight? If so, perhaps we can meet up for a chat? Or are you taking clients/colleagues out for dinner [or being taken out...].

Richard B · Post by **Richard B** » 07 Jan 2009, 12:46

28th should be ok for me

Keep us posted on any evening conversational opportunity etc if there is one

YouTube · Post by **Jools** » 07 Jan 2009, 14:34

Sorry, it was looking really good for a while there, but I need to be in Aberdeen now on the 28th. Otherwise i'd certainly have taken you up on the offer Mats.

I will post again as soon as I know a date when I will be, let's say, south of Birmingham.

Cheers,

Jools
