Robbo,

There was plenty of beer consumed, and I am told plenty of Bundy and Cola (which they sell by the schooner up in Gunnedah).  Some unwell looking people on the start line. Not me, however - I limited my intake, was asleep by 10pm, and woke feeling fine. 

Dot Boy did very very well, organising the bus in circumstances where some total penisheads dropped out after having confirmed their committment to the bus and/or accomodation.  Thankfully Dot Boy's agile mind and the calculator on his mobile telefunken allowed him to work it out so the additional impost on the rest of us (as a result of the drop outs by these dropkicks) was minimised. No disrespect intended towards G Troup, who had to drop out but still contributed funds.  Poor Dot Boy went even greyer than he was before the trip, which was and is greyer than me.

Mike Hock was on the bus, delivered some fine DVDs to watch and had his usual ale on entry to the bus.  All up, a good trip.
