Touch and Owera Hi Willow!!!!
I also took out one of our work boats, all-in-all we had 26 pingers on water.
We (about 30 - 35 of us) ate, drank, pinged, chatted, did trivia, gave away tones of 'stuff' and did it all over again.  I didn't take as many pics as I should have, but there were many, many pictures taken by many, many people and I'm sure they will show up very soon.

We weren't the only group at the pub tonight. A group of Cavilers came in post "challenge" and we had an interesting time mingling.

These guys were great sports.  I heard one of the girls came in and do photos with the guys - but my on-the-spot photographer missed that.

The following two photos are not Corrie Pingers, but helped make my night.  I had to miss a wedding today, Julie and Buzz came in after the reception to say Hi!  I did say AFTER the reception :-)

omni.jpg (46603 bytes) I only took one picture this morning. I was at the back of the room watching the show and didn't think backs of heads made for good viewing :-)
Looking forward to seeing everyone else's pictures when they get posted.
