B2PCa 2014 Summer Function 21st June

Dear Friends,

It's hard to believe that these B2PCa functions have been taking place since 2007.

Between 70 and 80 of us meet up every year in Leicester.
'Bo££ocks' To PCa is a 'fun site' founded in 2006 and is made up of friends who first met on these forums
This year the date for the event is Saturday 21st June.
It's always a day of fun, good banter, and, as usual, some fundraising for the Prostate Cancer Charity UK.

We're almost fully booked for June, but there are ten seats available if any of you would like to join us for the first time.

It seems to be that once you've been there, you immediately book up for the next one. That's why most places are gone six months before the event.

If you want to book a place, please email me as soon as possible:

georgehardy51@msn.com

Hi George and all the gang,

I have thanked you on another thread but what the heck I can thank you all here too. It was a great do and I'm only sorry we left without saying our goodbyes to everyone but it was getting a bit emotional. I know you were under a bit of stress George with the booking fiasco so a special well done.

Another thank you for mentioning me in dispatches although it was over the top and I felt really embarrassed. You may not realise it George but the " do " was the 1st of my " targets " getting to see my side of the family on Sunday the 2nd. The 3rd and very important our 25th Wedding Anniversary and as we lie in bed with the River Thames looking beautiful from our hotel window that is another one achieved with many more targets in the diary.

To all you exceptional people it was a delight to meet all the old faces and lovely to see so many new faces with if I may a special mention to Mo and Karen the bravest of the brave. At one stage sitting outside my ribs really did ache from laughing followed up by almost being crushed from so many of you giving me a cuddle.

Love to you all,

Life is for living

Barry (alias Barrington )

Hello again folks,

All seats are now taken for the B2PCa annual 'do' on June 21st.

However, there are always a few cancellations because of treatment side effects etc, so if you'd like to be informed when any places become available, please email me now and I'll keep your names on a separate list.

Looking forward to our summer madness and GOOD weather in June.[:)]


All the very best,


George

Just one thing though....you have to sign a declaration that you will NOT eat (or tamper with) Topgun's buffet![:D]

Sunday 4th May

Seven weeks from today, Leicester will witness a horde of PCa nutters nursing VERY sore heads (and I do mean those cabbage shaped things attached to your neck![;)]), hopefully on a bright,hot and sunny Sunday morning.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

Dear Friends,

Unexpectedly, there are two final places available at the afternoon 'do' on Saturday 21st June - AND a double room for the Saturday night at The Mill.

An 'ever present' couple have had to cancel because of a family event, and they will give their room reservation to whoever wants the accommodation.

 

If you are interested, can you please email me as soon as possible.

georgehardy51@msn.com

If nobody wants the room, they will cancel the reservation on Friday.

 

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

Just a note to everybody coming to Leicester for the annual 'Bollocks Bash (Ouch!!)' on Sat 21st.

 

Wishing you all a safe journey, and I know a lot of you have much further to travel than my own 200 miles.

In fact we even have a member over from Malaysia.

 

It's a full house yet again, and fun is guaranteed.http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif

 

The PCUK fundraising team have sent a box of 'goodies' to help us in our efforts to get more money into the cause so close to our hearts.

Let's try and raise even more this year.

By the way, did anyone see the Lifeline Appeal from PCUK on BBC 1 last night? Excellent stuff from all involved.

 

 

See you all soon,

 

 

George

No, not seen the 'lifeline appeal' yet but I hope it is recorded. [I'll look tonight] IF any one sees any of the Campaigning at Westminster on Wednesday on TV, let my know.

See you on Saturday George.

Chris.

Good Morning all,http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif

 

Well, I think most of us are home from Leicester now, tired out but happy.

Thank you all for being there and making it such an enjoyable weekend.

 

I will do a full post about the event later because there is so much to relate. Suffice to say it was absolutely wonderful to have all of together again. You know, I've found that I've made more true, longstanding friendships in the past nine years than I did in all the years before my diagnosis.

 

What a fabulous group of guys and girls you are!http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cool.gif

Don't forget to send me your photos, and I will put them in the 2014 Leicester Album.

Once they're all in I'll let everybody on this website know how to access them.

We have a gallery on B2PCa of course, but we also have a special 'Photobucket' site containing albums of every 'do ' since 2007.

 

Thank you,

 

 

George

Many thanks for organising it George. Also a big thank you to Jamie and Si for getting him to come along. Really enjoyed it

Does anyone have the recipe for that Vegan curry, for a sceptic I was very impressed with it :)

Hopefully will get to meet more people at the next event. So many people, so little time ;-)

Take care

George

A wonderful year for B2PCA.

We had a fantastic time, and can't thank you enough for everything you do. I loved meeting some of the people on the forum I feel I know and hadn't yet met Yes Bri, that's you and Si)

I agree about the vegan curry, it was superb. The talk by Jamie was brilliant, very reassuring, thank you forum members for getting him to come along. Lovely cuddles with Topgun and Mo were the icing on the cake.

We were sad we had to leave early due to visiting family, but already can't wait for next year.

Thank you my friends, you are an amazing bunch.

Love Allison and John xxxx

Hi George,

I just want to echo Barry's thoughts and comments, well done for organising such a good do.

As a novice first timer, it was a pleasure to meet so many of you who until now have merely been names on the Internet.

I'm very sorry to have missed the event this year as we are abroad right now. However, I have just registered with the B2PCa website and will hopefully be there to meet everyone in 12 months time,

George, you know that we all love you and appreciate so much the effort and dedication you put into this event every year. 

Our first time in very sad circumstances but Mick made me promise to him that I would go if he could not and that I would continue my strong connection with both forums. He knows that they kept me and Karen going through these last 12 months alongside our many fabulous friends and family.

It was a joy to meet everyone that we have  become so fond of. 

Jamie was brilliant wish Si could get him to come again and this time with a powerpoint projector, I am sure his slides and original talk would be amazing and very thought provoking. Shows the strength of a man who can just carry on regardless.

The raffle prizes were awesome, glad it raised so much money for the cause.

For TG and Karen it must have been an incredible journey. difficult but yet achieved as another target in an astonishing battle. You are both my heroes.

Thanks to you all

xxx

Mo and Karen
