Hi all.

Murf is taking the new lads from the Wirral to Poacher's this Thursday so here are the details.

Trip Type: General Mooch

Meet Time: 6.30pm

This is an ideal beginner's introduction to a natural cave so if you know anyone who would like to come along then drag them with you.

Tim's stuck on his private island again and does not expect to be back in time.

Will lend doug a hand in the tunnel, what time as I can go earlier than 6:30 if desired/ practical (means we could get out a little earlier too ;))

My trip has been cancelled due to lack of communication from the Wirral lads have rang greg who was coming from Preston and has thanked me for letting him know, the lads on the Wirral were to phone or e-mail me
after I had spoken to them on wed at noon as I needed to know how many were coming as I needed to charge lamps get equipment ready etc but got message on wed evening or on Thursday by 3.0pm therefore I cancelled
the trip they will have to rearrange. mick

Thanks for letting me know, Mick.  Had to keep the conversation short as I was driving down to Wales at the time, I was near Burscough when you called.  I thought about carrying on but didn't feel psyched up to do the 21 ladders down Rhyd Alyn.  Good news is I am on Jury Service next week and the week after (and with any luck may get a good case that will last me several weeks like I did last time!!!).  This will mean that I will be swapping my nights for days and I will be able to come down to the Glan yr Afon for a few drinks either next Thursday or the Thursday after and depending on how things pan out I may be able to get a trip in.
Got nothing planned for this Sunday, next weekend I will be at the Derbyshire CC dinner and the weekend after I will be down in the Midlands at a family party (the same weekend as the UCET Christmas Party which means I will not be able to go to that).  See you all soon,  Greg.
