Well the day approaches, all is taken care of, I suggest that you aim to get to the hotel before 19:00 (earlier if you are checking in) that should give enough time for at least one drink before we depart.
Remember that the boat departs Maidenhead riverside at 19:30 prompt so allow sufficient time.
To refresh, the boat is called 'SL Belle' and is an attractive wooden vessel.
I have provided the hotel with the names of those staying so rooms are allocated against your name not mine. Please make sure you settle directly with the hotel before departing on Sunday.
I look forward to meeting you all on Saturday. [:)]
Nice one Bazz - can't wait for Satdi now [:)]
BTW, the hotel directions are here:

Just had a call from those nice folks at Virgin Atlantic. They'll be providing some goodies for attendees of the Riverboat Party, including a very handy hangover recovery kit :-)
If you haven't already got your name down for the party - it's not too late. Let Bazz know asap, and we'll see you on Saturday.

Just noticed this:

Man, that's a real shame, I was looking forward to meeting Chuck too [:(]
Highflyer - you gonna need a guide as to who to look out for, or should we all wear red carnations or something? [:D]
Cheers

Hey guys not long now. Hopefully it won't take me longer than a couple of hours (and hopefully less dependent on the wonderful M25) to get over to the hotel (i'm at the junction of the M11 with the North Circular for reference [:D]), and I gotta be out in the morning, so i'll be at the bar by 4PM i reckon.
Five day forecast for Maidenhead on the BBC website is looking good for Saturday!

I thought about just posting these [:(] faces with no attribution, figuring it might illustrate how bummed I am that I cannot break free of our jury system tomorrow. I shared with Bazz that if our gang wants to reconnoiter on this side of the pond at some point, LAS perhaps, that I'd be glad to do what Bazz was kind enough to do for us on the Riverboat Shuffle, and help set up the details.
So, hoist one for me, guys. I'm there with you in spirit. And if you have any VS goodies left over, Pix, you can toss one at me when we finally meet. Best regards to all. Have a great time.

We have a few friends of members coming along to make up the numbers, otherwise we might be rattling around a bit.
I think we have eight staying at the hotel (at the last count) and there are also some guests staying from a wedding party so there will be a lively crowd at the bar after closing time. [:D] The management have agreed to keep the bar open as long as we keep drinking - so mcuth might get his pint of beer with his brekkie [;)]
Don't forget, residents can by drinks for their guests so no need to dash off after we dock!
See ya tomorrow [^]

Looks like I might be the first [:I] to say a very big thank you for all your efforts for making last night such a memorable evening.
For me, last night was a great testement for what V-Flyer stands for: a bunch of very nice people genuinely out to help one another with the added bonus of sharing a common interest in VS. I feel vey honoured to be asscoiated with such nice people.
I am sure that my having to come to work this morning has something to do with such an early post[:D][:D] and look forward to seeing the photos in the Gallery which will give those who were unable to make it last night a clearer idea of the fun we all had[;)]
Thanks once again

I will add my thanks to Bazz and Pix, a great night - pity I wasn't drinking, but I was kept amused by those who were [}:)][}:)]
Thoroughly enjoyable evening, great company, and a very nice stretch of the river!
Got, home just after 1.30am, which isn't a bad effort [:I][:I]

Thanks Bazz and Pix for putting together a great night, and everyone else for making sure we all had a good time.
My recollections are hazy, but i expect the photos soon to be posted will reliven a few memories.
Pix promised all photgraphic evidence would be deleted and the entire event erased off the site [:D]. However, thats unlikely, so i'm preparing myself for inevitable embarassment. I also urge many of the others present to do the same [:D][8D].

Hi everyone,
I've been sitting here patiently awaiting a TR on the Riverboat Shuffle. The 'thank you' posts are tantalizing. Will no one share what actually happened?
On call again for jury duty tomorrow (how boring), but I managed to get down to Palm Springs for the weekend (friends here hadn't expected me as they thought I was to be in London, etc., etc. -- thanks, rub it in, why don't you?).
Best to all and looking forward to being a part of an upcoming gathering.

I'll add my thanks too - well done Bazz & Pix, a cracking night, and great to see everyone again (what happened to you Highflyer?).
Some very ropey looking individuals at breakfast (those that made it to breakfast of course [:D])!
Report & pics to follow [;)]
