A great day & night was had by all, it was a good turn out & more names to faces. A huge thankyou to Paul & his staff over at the museum for hosting this event.

We started off with the talks in the theatre & here we can see TMC's Stuart & Dave doing their talk 'Reef to Retail'

The star of the show was Cain himself. Cain's dad Chris along with Chris' mate Andy drove down from Newcastle to attend the meet & to personally thank The Salty Box members who turned up for their support in raising the monies required for Cains operation.

The Salty Box members that bought raffle tickets, you should be proud of yourselves in helping this young man raise monies towards the goal for the operation he so needs in America to get him out of his wheelchair & walking Worship

I was a little delicate today but not as bad as I thought I would be.
Roll on the next meet :dance:

Thanks, Dave

Thanks Paul and your crew for a fantastic and enjoyable day. It was great to see Cain and his dad. What a total, £2,371.00 well done to everyone who donated, lets not let it stop there, £55K is still a long way off, please keep the donations going.

Roll on next year.

Have I missed the results of the raffle? I'm wondering if i'm looking in the wrong place? I had assumed a list of the winning numbers would have been put up somewhere for those of us who were unable to make it to the meet?
