    Nah, not yet at least. I speak as I find, Being a Scotsman, I have a low tolerance of as*eholes, but also a warm heart (we Scots tend to take people to our hearts, unless they are a waste of skin) - Mr & Mrs Shiney do so much for charity throughout the year it is incredible, and then tney surpass themselves time and again with Shineyland. I need not be on commission - just search for the photos on here.

      Please do come!! I know for a fact that I am not alone in saying that I would love to meet you both, and I know for sure that you will be welcomed with open arms.

      To disclose something that I wasn't really going to - I am about to embark on a course of medical treatments that will essentially render my immune system redundant, and I have already been warned that I will have to be extremely cautious about socialising as I am likely to catch almost everything going for the next year or so. Will that stop me coming to shineyland? Will it hell as like!!!

      I look forward to meeting you and yours.

          It would be great to see you :blue thumb:. It's a very easy drive from where you live as we're only just over 10 minutes from Stansted Airport.

          And cream teas :hapydancsmil: - and I supply sandwiches for all GC members as they come a long way :thumbsup:

          Then there's the dancing girls :heehee:

          And @Fat Controller saved the day when the computer controlling the sound system stopped talking to some of the other equipment. A few minutes of his fingers flying over the keyboard soon sorted it out :dbgrtmb:

            You've forgotten the most important part ...


            ... we get a reserved table for being GC (Good Citizens!) :love30: :love30: :love30: :heehee:

            The parking is always entertaining, but, most especially when @pete loses his sense of direction :whistle: :heehee:

              It sounds magical. I've noticed the particular affection/admiration so many people have for the Shineys. No wonder!

                  It all sounds great. I just hope I am able to keep that weekend clear. I already have some bookings for next summer.
