Mr & Mrs Newt ARE coming over

[Leon Roskilly]

Steve Burke:

No problem.  How about making it for the next Wingham Get-together which will be on the 2nd weekend of June?

My eldest daughter is getting married on 5th June, and we are playing host to a party of Brenda's American relatives for a couple of weeks (unfortunately they don't fish!).

 

Brenda says I can't sneak away, until they have gone (leaving on 14th)

Steve Burke:

they've a long-standing invitation to come already.

IT'S ON

 

Mr and Mrs Vale ARE coming over, dates to be set later but probably late August, September or October

 

Newt just emailed me and asked me to break the news as it my topic that got the ball rolling, nice of him but thats our Newt. What have I done

 

I don't think there is any need for him to bring any fishing tackle over with the attached risks and costs involved, I am sure we can sort him out with gear at the different places he visits. :cool:

 

Cheers

Does Newt know we don't have fresh water bass?

While you are traveling, pop over to Sweeden. Im sure my uncle would take you pike fishing. Only problem is he doesn't speak Engling

I think it would be just great to meet Newt, :cool: But I am a little unsure as to whether he would understand my Worcestershire, Uhoo, Arr, accent, so maybe I should start writing a phrase book now and send him a copy.

We could take him to a good trunk sale.

Those darned differences.
