KEOGH GATHERING 2007...

[Silky]

KeoghCon has now become Keogh Gathering 2007

Due to circumstances beyond our control this was the last year for the Con as such. Hotel problems, people problems ... but mainly last year should have been the last but Brian talked me into another one. And I'm glad he did because we had Bob and Marianne Eggleton over as our Guests. Too much organization, administration and stress for me anymore.

Although I wanted to end the con as such I did not want to stop seeing all our friends. So hence "Keogh Gathering." Where Brian and I can just sit back and enjoy. This requires very little management on my part and everything I need to do at the moment is done right now.

NOTE: This event is now closed to outsiders. It is by private/personal invitation only for long time standing friends and long time attending members. All of you concerned have received a post from me with all the new details. Hence, no web information. Dates are to be kept private among those attending please and not to appear publicly.

Now on to the good things...

Hello Guys & Gals!

So far 22 of you have confirmed you are interested in next year's gathering. And for that we thank you. So Book Your Room! Book Your Room! The sooner we fill up 20 rooms the better.

Normally in this forum I am the only one who is supposed to initiate posts ... however, I will open this forum up to anyone who wants to discuss next year's event. So do me a big favour and post them in the KeoghCon forum.

Note: Discuss what you will but please do not mention dates. Only those on a "need to know" basis, know. This would be very much appreciated.

So ... I guess that's it for the time being ... or until some other info arises.

we'll be there next year. it'd be like missing an arm or a leg if we didn't go, our year wouldn't be complete

[Silver]

Me too, I can't wait already!

[Silky]

This is really great. I'm so pleased people are booking their rooms early. We've already taken up twelve rooms so far.

Sue is chuffed to bits as well.

Allen Koszowski says if all goes well he definitely wants to come back next year as well. So we will keep our fingers crossed as we always do. Victoria will be back as well provided she is back from her trip to Guana next year.

Really going to be enjoyable for me. I'll get to enjoy the entire weekend with only a minimal amount of work. Most of that is done now with getting all the info off to you folk. Just checking in periodically with Sue to see how the rooms are booking up.

I spoke to Sue this morning and she's not going to book anyone else in. Not at the rate the rooms are going. And as long as she doesn't have any coach cancellations the week before or after we should be laughing.

Depending on if there are no outsiders, Brian might do a reading but we'll have to wait and see.

So, keep booking those rooms folks, the sooner we get 20 rooms the less chance we stand of getting outsiders ... she says fingers crossed.

Morning

I booked my double room last night - so you can guess who's coming with me.

I really missed out this year, but next year, it'll be back to normal - I just hope that the other mentalist makes it (the pink wearing weirdo from Runcorn) and the rest of the "normal" crowd make it...

I have booked my room too! I feel really lucky to have made it this year and then doubly so in light of what's happening next year! I really can't wait and I am so excited!

[Silver]

Yay, Tops I'm so glad you guys are coming next year! Joanne will be back from Portugal next week so I'll find out then if she'll be back or not.

[Silky]

Yes, Yes, Yes ... let's get that old crowd back together again in addition to the few new!

After all, we don't really know who long this thing is going to go on. Depends now on how much you all want to have one down here.

We've got a good few how have said they are coming back so it looks like a good "Gathering."

BTW, Bob Eggleton called last night. They are seriously wanting to come back next year as well. They had such a great time. If their schedule allows they will be here.

[The Ginger Wookie]

Well, me and Claire are booked. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

[Rixy]

I'll be booking up when I get back to the UK next week. No way I'm missing it.

[Goth Girl]

I'm in... already booked!

[Rixy]

I'm now officially booked in!

[Goth Girl]

Just got a text from Pinhead to say that he's now booked up for next year too

[Silver]

Has anyone had any difficulty getting in touch with the hotel? I emailed but it bounced back undelivered so I called but the number was dead as if the phone was cut off so I so far haven't been able to book my room!

By the way, Joanne is back next year too, that is if we manage to get in touch with the hotel!

[Silver]

Phew, managed to get through on the phone so we're booked in now too!

[Chris Banks]

Aye. I've booked and have received an SMS from Gayle to say she has, too. Thanks for the heads up to book early. Looking forward to next year already. Keep yer tongues out. That monster's still coming over the hill!!!

Ah....Looks like a good time in the offing.

Mandy...Yorkies or no alcohol next year, your choice.

And to that SPESHAL lady, We can go back to the Dumplings and have some jelly next year

[joeann2005]

im soooooooooo jealous! i'm a very shy person who wouldv'e liked to have went this year but circumstances being as they were i couldn't make it. now i'll never get the chance to meet the great man himself, it seems a shame for us newbies to the internet who never knew these events happened as they dont get advertised & up here i still cant get a bookshop to get 'the touch' without ordering it from america & to pay shiping costs. i think brian needs to get himself better publisied as his work is getting nicked all over the place ie; stargate, medium & spooks are 3 that spring to mind. lastly he sell a whole lot more books!
one very unhappy reader

[Chris Banks]

My bad there Keith. How about Yorkies AND alcohol? AND Lime Jelly, please!!
