Last Dive of 2006

14 dive club members braved the wind and rain for a last plunge of the year in Vobster on 29 December. With hardly anyone there, viz was superb with about 15m even in the more usually silty areas of the lake. As we could actually see things, I have produced a short 5 minute video of all the attractions for those of you who have not quite managed to see them in the gloom. The next club dive will be on 4 January to vobster again. Contact Chris in the dive centre if you want to come along.

Santa goes to Rainbow Centre

Once again we sponsored the Rainbow Centre Christmas party with a donation of £600, which (coupled with a further £500 which was raised from the London marathon I ran - money still coming in somehow!) all meant that a great party was had by all. Donk and Tina kindly helped out by standing in for Santa and Elf (they were away on business - busy time of year apparantly) and Katie who looked absolutely wonderful in fairy outfit wings and wand! There are a few photos in the Gallery.

Christmas Ball Photos in the Gallery

For those of you who can't remember the Christmas Ball, I have posted some photos on the website in the Gallery section. It was another cracking night and a sell out with 131 members and guests turning up for a evening of frivolity. Click here to go to the Gallery

Christmas Ball - the morning after......

Well the Ball was another outstanding success. There was drinking and dancing a plenty for 130 people and we also raised over £1400 for the Rowan's Hospice. With all the Triton staff staying at the Royal Beach that night (to help assist club members of course, had absolutely nothing to do with excessive drinking till 4am), for the first time in years the shop wasnt open by 08:30......when we all crawled into work at 10:30 we were met by a queue of customers standing outside in the cold.....oops!.......sorry guys!.....

Anyway hair of the dog and all that, once it had turned midday we thought it only proper to banish the hangovers with a bottle of bubbly. Photos from the night will be in the gallery soon, until then here's a photo of Bill, Jean and David looking slightly worse for wear!

She's back!!

....and looking very suspicious!

This latest image was captured aboard a boat in the Red Sea. The constrictions of land based travel have been over come. It seems that no where is safe.......
