frankly.the local pub and a belly full of pints sounds a lot more interesting to me,especially on fathers day.

littlebitdull

gollyitslolly - many thanks for the offer - I think they are ok for facepainters I will double check today. I have done that myself a few times and its a great way to chat to loads of littleys!!

One thing I know they are looking for is Tarot card Readers - due to unforseen circumstances the ones booked cant come!!!:rolleyes:

greatgoal - guess we wont see you there then!!

That's fair enough, if it's not your thing then you won't be going. Being so dismissive of it is unnecessary though, other people here are interested in it.

Good crowd there on Sunday - and it didn't rain. a lot better than the so called car booth sale a few months ago.
Kids had great time with bouncey castles and face painting etc. All the food in hall looked good and the wife said it all tasted lovely aswell.

Gaspode

Glad you enjoyed it bkeane, it was a great success from what I hear. I missed all the grub though!!
Still, I got to hang out with a few lads and play guitar all afternoon - what more could a blokey ask for!!

No, I was the guy furthest away from you, right in the corner. (they always keep me there now, stops me messing!)
Littlebitdull was in the craft room doing the cards and papercraft, Thaedyal was doing the Tarot card readings, so you might have come across them too.

Ha ha, saw the queue for the tarot all right. One guy said he felt like he was queing for the dentist:D We peeped in and she was waving her arms in a gesture.dramatiaclly. Very funny:D

Nevyn

The band was good, but I have that blasted song in my head for the rest of the day.
" do you ever see the rain" yup got caught in it about 5 mins ago

My kids had a good time, one of them came back all tiger faced and the inflated obstacle course was a big hit with them.

There were a lot more people then I expected for the tarot I was kept fairly busy did readings for about 16 people.

littlebitdull

MANY MANY THANKS TO YOU THADEYDAL ... I have it in caps becasue we (the school) were trilled to bits with your very kind help today. You were a big hit with all concerned, and its much appriciated.

On a more personal level it was good to see you again!!

Nevyn

Glad to help, it was good too see you too, the new hair cut is fab on you.

Hey,

I was part of the Capoeira group that performed on Sunday and I have to say well done to everyone involved.

From the food, to the people, to the events. All orchestrated with passion and ease.

And thanks also to the lady selling the delicious loaves of bread who tried to give me one for free because I had "worked" there on Sunday!

Hopefully see you all next year!
