Im very disappointed in missing Chris Monk,what happened was that the original plan to use the POW had to be scuppered as the seating area i originally wanted us to use was full and showed little chance of changing....The POW was jam-packed and very rowdy as there was a World Championship boxing match in the City,so i decided to move to the Queens vaults just 50 yards down the road where we were able to find room...
I went back to the POW on several occasions to see if any other fans were arriving,at around 4- 4-15 i thought that nobody else would be coming and decided to go back to the QV.......The problem was ive never seen CM so would not have known what he looked like,and i did not have a contact number.......I wholeheartedly apologise to CM and if we get another gathering in future i will make very much sure contact numbers are made available
I would like to thank everyone for coming Andy(24db),Carmen(Dolphin Dance),Tim(Timer),Conrad(TangfanIrl),Geoff(taximan),Rosie,Jon(BM) Stephen(BTF) Chris(Janus) Gary(hyperboreaUK) Graham Coutts(& family)Peter(Redziller) David Foster(Fozziebear) my mates John & Terry and my wife Julie
