8 Women & 4 men....

Looks like us ladies will win all the events then as we have one to distract and one to do the winning per every man signed up.....

Is it just me or are us ladies more brave than the men folk when it comes to attending meets?

It looks like it could be a good day...............I think diamondsrforever eggs will be able to do the competitions on their own by then.

Once again we will plan the males/females games so that all can join in.

But as before we noticed all the hot air from the women, but where were they...

Sotongirl was all hot air and never got out to take part.........

So ladies if you think you have what it takes ....................Try "bringing it on" again

As long as Etna doesn't kill me next week I will be there for the next installment of mayhem.
Have a couple of spare seats in the car if anyone wants or needs a lift from the Gosport/Fareham area.

Hello everyone,
just a really quick one to say hi and introduce myself.


I will attend the picnic, can't wait actually !

"Puddles-At-Work" asked me to introduce you (all of you that would like to, of course) to salsa and merengue, as a taster for the fore coming "Chilli Fiesta" ...

Well I am not great dancer, so I will count on your patience !!!

But I'm sure it will be fun and you'll remember all the basics!!

nearly the end of my lunch break, so got to shoot off !
Ciao
