Meet-ups at Vinces.

[julie w]

Please can you try to be at Vince's for the meet-ups if you have said you are going to be there, me and my OH were there on the 4th September and sat there all night, we met John Lane and his lovely family, and also met up again with John Sheppard who we had climbed to the flag with, but Vince said that no-one else had turned up, and I did go round the tables asking!
On 11th September we braved the torrential rain and made our way from the old village, bringing a present and card for someone's birthday. My OH said that it would be a waste of time and it was. Viking Pete had been there and we had just missed him, but he was the only member who turned up. We stayed at Vinces until late, just in case anyone came. We won't be doing it next year! It is a shame as all the staff made an effort and had their ICR shirts on ready to welcome everyone.

That is such a pity Julie when the lads go to so much trouble and when people like you actually do turn up.

Yes I was really disappointed as I had been looking forward to meeting everyone, OH was not happy that we had wasted two nights of the holiday. Never mind.

I would go along in October, but I'd probably be on my own as daughter will no doubt be off to more exciting pastrues (ie Eastenders or Pleasure!) with her Turkish friends, and I'm worried about feeling a bit out of things...

Julie, we have been fortunate enough to be at Vinces when there was a good turnout (June 2008, brilliant) and not so good a turnout, but even on the not so good turnouts, like in June this year, there was myself and my OH, Dotty and her OH and Lynnjenny and her OH, plus a couple of apologies.

We made our own fun and it was just good to meet people. But some people had been in earlier in the week and had passed their apologies on to everyone who turned up, because some things do happen, holiday or not.

I had already met Dotty the year before so it was good to have a familar face and of course I had my tablet personally delivered lol, but I think when on holiday, we all make plans, but sometimes plans so easily change too. It was good to meet Lynnjenny and Carl that night too though, because I had a lynnjenny special pink cocktail (memory failing me again, whats it called lynn?) and I haggled with Vince and got it cheaper

Personally I will come (even if only for 5 minutes) to explain to people why I cant stay, but you know what its like on holidays, you might just get involved in something that you cant avert your attentions from and hence disappointing people.

Dont let it put you off future Vinces meets, it just depends on who is there at the same time as you.

Hopefully you had a great holiday, despite the disappointment on the night, I too would have been disappointed to take a present for someone, who didnt turn up or pass on a message that they wouldnt be there.

Hey Blondie, you dont have to be a young single person in Icmeler to have fun and a good laugh, me and Phill are in our 50's and I love to go to bed happy after spending a fortune............come along hen!

my apologies to julie as i said we would try and be there on the 11th sept. we arrived at hotel about 6pm and went looking for vinces after 8pm but my good lady refused to walk any farther in the rain and high heels we only found out where it was on the sunday, and we left early the following friday. now i know where it is we will make the effort the next time we are out probably may next year but in my defence i did try

[trace]

deffo we will be there the 25th and the 2nd see yous there peeps xxxxxxxx

[julie w]

Hi travelingscot52, shame about the weather, I felt so sorry for the first timers arriving in Icmeler that Friday, they probably wondered what was going on with all that torrential rain, I have never seen rain in Icmeler before but at least it brightened up for the Sunday. Maybe see you next year!

[jambodrew]

Will try and get there on 25th

[Fanny]

we're staying at VInces and arrive around 5am on 17/10 [Sat] and leave from there am guessing around 8pm on 23/10 so though we won't be able to make any Friday night meets, hope to bump into a few of you during the week

[Little Ethel]

We'll definitely be there 25th Sept and 9th Oct but not sure about 2nd Oct, will wait and see

Hope to see you there you can't miss us as my husband is 6' 10" and I am only 5' 2" so obviously little and large! Getting excited now
