i hope to have humphrey mot'd and insured and taxed again by then and would love to join you all for this one , i have missed the club involvement in recent times and hope that the success you all have had with the club over here continues to grow and without overstepping the mark , it would be nice for a few from the mainland to join us for this one because as i said before , for anyone who hasnt seen the antrim coastline the journey is well worthwhile :+:
