From small acorns.....

Mark Oakes, a friend of Sarah’s from her days as a lifeguard at Kingston Leisure Centre, has the honour of being the first person to reply to yesterday’s general email. And what’s more, he’s agreed to leave a cold and wet Birmingham to join us in July with his partner, Kimberley!

To help everyone who heads out here (and for those who sadly can't make it) become acquainted with one another, we will endeavour to post pix of all the attendees, with a brief bio too.

[And, if you promise to buy us a drink, we’ll even take the photo and write up off after a few days!]

So for young Mark, all I know is that he pushes drugs in the midlands area. But, it's ok, as the drugs are just for the medical profession to then pass onto Joe Public. And Mark is into body-building in a big, bulging biceps way. Just take a look at him in action at the British Championships:


Looks like we know who’ll be heading up security in Bintan on the day!
