Full report now I've been up a while and drunk lots of tea I was late for the meet myself after a train struck a man on the overground,forcing me back home to get a lift from my brother to a different station/line,on arrival many had already arrived and got into the swing of things,lots of Christmas decorations had been put up around the bridge function room and it felt a nice way to see the festive season in,I never counted the full number but I didn't turn anyone down,which was good as we did have some drop out and the room seemed to take us comfortably,guests saw Lorien from ECCA,Oliver Kershaw ECF and Prof Peter Hajek all turn up,interesting to hear from someone who has studied nicotine,addiction and advised/developed nicorette with their patches etc,say how there is no problem with nicotine at all and that he would be very surprised if you could find anything wrong with e cigs,straight from the horses mouth so to speak. No Rebecca Taylor or cloud 9 I also had our BBC friend and radio reporter Lorna invited but she was away but sent her love to everyone I shall be bothering people again soon. The raffle saw MarkS,Ash and Mido all contribute alongside UKecig-store and we had lots of winners...SO A BIG THANKS GUYS..... (pity I never sorted out a microphone as its left my throat sore) Everyone chipped in to the costs of the venue with buying of raffle tickets and we raised £265.00 UKecig-store made up the difference so I got my £300.00 back for all that where concerned Once again thanks to all that came and for those that couldn't make it,you were not forgotten,as its been a great year I wont forget and I look forward to doing it all again in 2014. Hopefully John2000 will be getting pics to me soon,heres a couple I nicked off Loriens twitter

And..... I'm out. I am so god damn sick of bailing out its unreal. Mr Dolly woke up this morning and couldn't get out of bed! His back seems to have gone into spasm. Stupid git thought it would ease off but no. Gonna have to take him either to a doc or the hospital. I do feel sorry for him, but so, so, gutted to miss the meet of the year. Hope you all enjoy it. Have a drink for me. Just drug him and jump in the Dolly bus,give him enough drugs for several hours though

I'll definitely be popping in at some time for an hour or two most likely early on, but have to go to St Katherines Dock later on. Hmmm wonder if the skipper can drop me off? We have to wheel in our room,so you just need to get the engines started ...... see you there bud

Food can be ordered at the main bar,but would be brought to the bridge,so someone could order for you.

Is this "The Bridge" now Alan? If so they've spent a few quid on it since I was there. Looks lovely! That's it,looked good when I saw it,hard to judge it with 50 people in till you try,thats why I have tried to keep the numbers just short as it might be less fun if everyone is standing on each others toes,mind you doubt if everyone will be in there at the same time as lots will wander below deck for pints in the main bar.
