Hey people!
Ever had your friends ask you: 'what is this 'punting'
thing you keep talking about?' or 'what do you do with
those balls of yours?' or 'why do you keep on beating
yourself with that big stick/balls in socks?' etc.?
Well, we have the answer to all your problems!
(Disclaimer: so long as they're related to the
questions above)
On Saturday August 19th, we have been planning a
little gathering: the idea is that we will meet up in
the afternoon on Saturday, go punting, then head out
to Grantchester for a night of BBQing spinning and
juggling (weather permitting). So come along! It's
very informal, just an opportunity to come along
spin/juggle/get drunk/whatever and hang out with some
cool people: Like YOU! yes, you!
punting in the daytime will probably cost a few quid
(about £2.50/hour with 6 people) provided we have
punts filled with 6 people to share the cost.

NB: If you get a punt, ask for a metal pole, they're
much easier to use than the wooden ones!

how about we all go to Anne Summers, buy ourselves toys and have races as to who can climax first?

Had a fab time, thanks to all of you who came and helped make the weekend what it was! Running around trying to tidy up at the moment, but
to you all! Thanks also to Gayle for sorting people out in the morning when I was hungover and making breakfast!
Hope I can get some pictures from Andy and people soon!

awesome video jo, though i feel there should have been a bit less of me and a bit more of other people as i can see myself spin anytime i want, and control myself some of the time
thanks guy for letting me and jasmine stay at yours, and thanks to everyone for being awesome, was great to see you all, and to meet some new people

Someone mentioned 7th July to me due to double celebrations of Mr Angels return and Mr Baxter's Happy Returns!!
However given the recent weather here (Guy FYI uber torrential rain and raining for all of July it seems!) maybe Auguest would be better.
Obviously - glancing over and reminiscing via your photos (thanks for sharing) rain does not stop punting!
I would be happy to have a go at punting - though please don't expect me to go in the right direction! teehee!

I'd certainly be up for visiting Cambridge again
But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
