Rick-Manta Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Oh good! I can book my holidays off earlier than usual, although I can't until January at my work, unless you're a boss! Say, isn't that the Psygnosis logo you've got as your avatar Daz? I remember it from the early 90's when I was big into games and playing Armour-Geddon for about 5 hours a day for a whole year.

Devil Fish Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Rick, yep, got it one...happy days on the Amiga 500 back in the late 80's/early 90's. If its confirmed, lets get the count down up on the site!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frustratedmantagte Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Will there still be the £5 charge. Understand there was some argy bargy at Biling about the club 'sub letting'?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I've spent money on fuel, tax and insurance to take two of my cars the last two years, then there's curry, FEB, booze, the inevitable autojumble purchase and food. TBH the extra fiver is a drop in the ocean. But it's all worth it just to get drunk in the rain!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midasmesh Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Did the hotel thing this year for 3 nights because of the little un, it ain't cheap. Think we'll be in the caravan next year the little one can wear a few jumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Modifier Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Don't forget the club needs a new National Meetings Organiser. Otherwise you'll all be turning up as individuals... I'm sure there will be a fiver entry. It's not sub letting, but a charge to attend the OMOC National Meeting separate to what Billing charge for entry to the campsite and pitch your tent etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midasmesh Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Graham perhaps worth putting a topic on the forum and one in the mag about needing a National meetings organiser. Give a chance to get the message out to as many poeple as possible. This way hopefully someone out there will be willing to take on the role of organising Billing. By the way Graham you've done a great job of it over the years you have been doing it. And good luck in your new job you jammy git.(Charlie is still jealous ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fish Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Keith, my 500+ is still running and in regular use! Can't beat the old classics! Any news on the billing countdown being added to the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get a post up for NMO, but probably worth getting a post up in a oner for the other posts that are needing filling. Namely membership Secretary. Menat to get something in the Mag but with moving again I missed the deadline for the mag so I'm probably in Jo's bad books again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick-Manta Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I fancied staying in the Travel Inn or whatever it is but I heard they weren't letting people book for just the (Saturday-Sunday) one night? Still, all those years of sleeping in a tent when the manta is more comfortable, warmer, quieter, roomier and has an ashtray! I'm promising myself a proper holiday next year anyway. Billing's only been my time away for the past five years and I haven't been on a proper holiday since 1996, a luxury spa break in a quiet part of Ireland sounds favourite at the moment .

Ian Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 (edited) As 2010 is the 40th Anniversary of the Manta is the club proposing to do anything special at Billing to mark the occasion? Edited September 26, 2009 by Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I will be personally celebrating the occasion with some cans of Stella! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanosabby Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I am not going to be able to make it to this one so it will have to be 2011 for me. Just booked up our summer holiday a couple of weeks ago and forgot that it was on these dates so 35 degree heat and Disney World for me instead. Ta, Deano.
