On the August Bank Holiday Paul, Chris, Si Smith, Guy and John Newton piled into an MPV (kindly supplied by Simons wife) and drove down to Brighton where they met up with Richard, Dan, Ian, Clive and Justin for a couple of days on the town. Staying at a hotel that was literally yards from all the nightclubs and had its own bar which they spent many hours in (usually till at least 4am both nights!). They also caught up with Jeff, Tony, Stevie, John and even Paul's sisters (Bethany & Cassy) over the course of the weekend. During Saturday they took part in quad biking, off road karting plus archery and target rifle shooting with Clive the eventual winner. Special thanks go to Chris for organising it, Dan for the Friday night Italian meal and Simon for driving.

HEN NIGHT

On Saturday of the August Bank Holiday Juliet, Eleanor, Roli, Ellie, Chris, Sarah and Irene met up for a day of pampering. After some sauna, swimming and hydrotherapy at the gym, the party went on to have facials and their toenails treated. Afterwards it was a meal, champagne, chocolate and massage whilst watching a girlie film. Special thanks to Vij for allowing use of his house and Charlie (Chris's other half) for providing his professional massage services.
