Eddie Harrington and his son are staying there.Simon Ramshaw and his wife I believe are staying as well.

Dave Pearce and his wife are elsewhere as they have their dog with them and the hotel doesn't allow it.

Lindsey and I will be over about 7:30 tonight but not staying tonight but are tomorrow night.

Everyone else is commuting from around the region each day.

I'll get to the hotel around 10.30pm and would be more than happy to join fellow Jensenites in the hotel bar...

What a fantastic weekend.
They don't come much better than that.
A big thank you to Clive and Lindsey for perfect organisation, along with being great hosts.
Great to meet new and old JOC members.
All in all a perfect weekend.

I'd like to thank you all for coming, we had a great time and Danielle, Connor and Nathan had a great time doing the photo's on Saturday and hoping they were always one step ahead of us.

The photos that they took, plus Terrys friend who was taking a lot on the way and jumped in and out of various cars during Saturday (Thank you for letting him do this) will be uploaded to the following link.

If you would like to also do the same, then they are centralised whether it is video or still images. All pictures from the photographer's are royalty free and so you can download them from the site free of charge.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kkr534bci79p ... 8TrJa?dl=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you have video, please post the link in the file called "Video Link" in "Saturday"

Glad you are all back, for those that didn't come, you missed a great weekend (but you may have had your own anyway) and to all - see you somewhere, some time in the future.

Jane and I had a great time on Saturday (even if the bird sh*t on the car didn't bring us 100% luck) and we'd like to add our thanks to you, Lindsey, Danielle, Connor and Nathan for putting on such an excellent event - the marshalling support making the day particularly hassle free.

It's easy to under appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into planning such an event - so hats off to you all and sorry we had to bale out at the end of day one.
