Not the Nats diary 2023

Post by Blacky »

Friday night meet and greet was big, pub was packed and was waaayy too busy to take photos , after the sign on we wandered through town, had lunch in a pub then did a paddle steamer tour up the river


Image
Saturday night we had a table of 14 at a local pub for a Nats catch up , I was in a fair amount of pain so we bailed early but ended up with visitors in our motel room until after midnight Imagehappy days ImageImage a few beers and some painkillers from Mr Allardyce sorted me out ImageImage
