9th - Club Meeting, Perth

12 - Games Night at Major and Hammered's 

Evening started with the customary nibbles, drink and chat followed by a game of giant jenga!  The Perth household suffered badly and collapsed the pile on more than one occasion. Indeed if the game had continued much longer the red room floor may have needed repairing.

The next game was "Poker", the challengers being Wasted, Tool, Minor and Major.  Hammered deciding that the red wine was not allowed into the back room and that it should be accompanied at all times.  After a couple of sighting games, Tool applied his aggression to "all in" tactics and proceeded to eliminate us all one by one.  A massacre was only averted by Minor deploying delaying tactics designed to stall the game.  On count back Tool was declared the winner.

27 - Bowling Night (Winner Game 1 - Lee, Winner Game 2 - Neil)  

After meeting at Dundee Megabowl two lanes were prepared and the teams were as follows: 

Beginners  - Flash, Posh, Flying and hEaD       Veterans  - Major, Hammered, Wasted and Tool.

Game 1 - Lee stole the show after dominating the early strikes.  However, he certainly gave away the secret of success and what he did for 4 months in the Falklands!

Game 2 - Flash recovered to steal the game from the grasp of Posh both striking "turkeys" (x 3 strikes in a row) on route.

Good laugh and a social in the bar afterwards.

Winner of Game one! Lee

Winner of game 2! Neil

At last the season opening weekend has arrived and the Slappers are off to Ullapool.

In attendance:  Wasted, Tool, Flash, Posh, Tiny, Total, Fantasy/Hammered and Major

Apologies:  Doughnut, hEaD and Flying.

The adventure began at 1200hrs on Fri 24th as the biking group paraded for departure:

As you can see Tracey and Fraser were ready for the picture to be taken.  New jacket Sue?

After short stop for petrol the crew headed up and over towards Tomintoul then Grantown on Spey

Great single track roads over stunning scenery!

Finally, getting to Ullapool at 1630 hrs - Ferry Boat Inn

Guess who was in the bar first?

Shortly followed by the rest!

Neil was still on route at this point.  Later that evening we hooked up with some very dodgy characters from Glenrothes and nearby:

Over the next 24 hrs lots of alcohol was consumed and banter dished out! Sadly Neil wasn't allowed in the bar and Callan was not impressed either:

Saturday involved a short trip cross country again with Wasted, along the coast to the "Place where Time Forgot"!

Strangely enough we found ourselves back in the bar, with the Fife crew electing to stay overnight again instead of heading North!:

Meet from the left:  Helen "Shipman", oor Rach, Paul the "Pussy" at the back and front and right Keith the "Cod Piece"

Anyway, whilst they were scaring the locals, we were:

Blowing bubbles:

being silly

and sillier still:

Other top shots:

Tracey playing catch up to Sue!

And finally we headed home!

With Callan being the first to the car wash!

And just to prove I was there!
