Can I confirm Fred's recent journeys?
 

Hi everyone.

Can I confirm Fred's recent journeys?


ColinB / Grey Ghost - EMS Open Day - 14th of July 2007

Neil Coupland - Nottingham - 9th August 2007

Timbop6 - Spain :SHOCKED: - 8th September to 15th September

Have I missed any?

Timbop6, confirm Fred is still with you now?

Where is Fred off to next??

Hi Rich

That seems correct, Fred was with us from the Gaydon team meeting until I took him to Doncaster to Timbop6.

I believe that Timbop6 is taking Fred to Holker Hall in readiness for his next adventure:lol:

I've not had him, I was trapped on the M25 on EMS open day. :( I still haven't fully recovered.) :D
BTW Tim is still having a little difficulty with Pics. Should be resolved soon.:)

I passed him on to kandyman at the EMS open day as GG didn't make it.

Did you get the photos for the map?

ColinB

We still have Fred, he is changing hands at the meet this weekend.

Fred is now in Nth LINCS ENJOYING HIS TOUR few pints and he's anybodys hes going shopping to- morrow at Hemswell market (Sun).:pepsi:

You missed me out, I handed him over to ColinB!
And got him from Malcolm (Baxlin).

I'm sure it wasn't deliberate, I'm in the list and never even arrived at EMS. ;)

Its just your presence GG, ever felt, as if you are always there. :D

Whats Fred been up to recently

Last I heard he was in sunny Scunny with Actros.

Come back Fred all is forgiven :)

I know someone wants to take him on duty/patrol to the Falklands very soon.

GG you can have him when i come down to visit you. He won't be frightened of you i have told him you will look after him. he's on :cloud9:at the moment :beer2::beer2:

Great Brian, we'll have a chat later in the week and make an arrangement. Bit tied up right now. :) Glad to hear the little fellow has been behaving himself.

so he,ll be off on his travels again soon

Does Fred have any plans? If not, then Actros could pass him on to me on the 17th. I'm off to Riga in a few weeks time, I'm sure he'd like a pre Christmas jaunt to the Baltics. :)

If GG dont mind i can bring him to the meet on the 17th but i think GG wanted him so its up to GG.:pillow:

Not a problem for me Bri, please hand Fred on to someone at your Yorks meet. I was only going to take him if there was a lack of interest. I'm sure he'll have much more fun with Tom (Collit and family in foreign) Just make sure he has a clean set of chaddies for the journey. :)

Great, I'm sure Fred will enjoy his stay with us. My kids have lots of furry friends for him to play with.

Thanks GG, see you on the 17th Brian.

I thought Fred was going to the Falklands very soon :shrug:

Yes I thought that was booked to for a Tour of duty in the Falklands,
GG, Christopher or any of team has it been confirmed Please?

Ah yes, I remember mention of that too. Maybe I'll get him next time then.:sad::envy::angel2:

Fred was to be handed from one person to the next when he started on his journeys with a maximum stay of 2 weeks in any one persons company, pre booking is probably not a good idea in my view as it will lead to problems with logistics.
My vote would be for Actros to hand him on at the earliest opportunity to a willing party, if at the right time and place to ship out to the Falklands, all well and good if not then so be it. He has already been held up more than once which is against the rules set up in the first instance. I appreciate rules can be broken when necessary providing they do not prevent his travels continuing.
His travels were to be all by chance and not contrived, pre booking will inevitably cause him to be stopped for long periods.

Kandyman instigated the concept, set the rules and provided the bear so personally I think the final decision as to whether that continues or should be changed lie with him.
My 2d's worth.

I think "booked" may have been me slightly misleading, sorry.
I think Collit should have him as no firm arrangements were made.

......He can always go to Iraq later. :D

Hi Collit i will bring him to the yorks meet then you can take him to far off places.:clap::clap:

Yes Lee, where else do you suggest I take him? I have a few ideas in mind.

I'm sure Fred will enjoy Riga. The Latvian female bears are notoriously good looking!

Hope he's got more than just a T shirt to wear. Going to be down to -7 C next week.

Is he likely to visit the other Baltic countries?

I'm sure he'll be warm enough, he's got a fur coat as well as his T shirt.

Not sure about other Baltic countries this time. 2 years ago we went to Estonia. He would've liked that.

If nobody else wants him before Christmas, he'll be spending it in France with us.

If you decide to head south to Vilnius will be pleased to hear from you. Have a good trip!

Tom

Haven't gone too far yet, but at least Fred sleeps cosy and warm.

I can't get Daniel to take that hat off. :D

Well Fred is off tomorrow morning bright and early to Riga. He's promised not to get into any trouble, to observe all local customs and respect all laws and beliefs. We all know what can happen when UK citizens get involved with bears abroad. :)

He's travelling light, as he only needs the bear essentials. :D

Pictures will be up Tuesday night.

No Renaming him whilst abroad Please.
He would end up in a sealed Cabinet somewhere, like Mohamed Bear. :D
Have a Great Time and deserved Break.

If you need anyone to help carry him around on your holiday (and he does look a VERY heavy bear) then I will be happy to do it. :D

Have a great holiday.

Be good to see Fred on the move again :)

Well, we're back, had a fab time would recommend Riga to all. So much to see in this beautiful city, and I think Fred enjoyed it too.

First of all though, our hotel was not all it was cracked up to be.

Actually our hotel was fantastic. It's the yellow building in the center.

At our real hotel, Fred was able to relax with a good book at last.

After a spot of bother, Fred throws himself on the mercy of the ambassador.

Good to see Fred having a good time,

You'll have to get him passed on now before Christmas :)

Nice Pics Tom, glad to have you back. :) And wossisname. :D

His Great Journey Continues......
Thanks for the Pics Tom and glad you also had a good time.

If somebody wants to take him off to some exotic location then great, if not he'll be coming to France with us a week on Sunday for Chistmas and New Year.

Welcome back Tom, great pics of your holiday looks a lovely location. hope you did not have any trouble getting fred back into the country.;)

Just to let you all know, Fred is having a wonderful time in France, having aquired a taste for Pernod and cheap French fags. Piccies to follow.

Good to hear Fred is having a great time, hope to see some pictures of him soon.

Fred in France.
Boring pictures I'm afraid, but didn't go anywhere.

Must of been foggy at the inlaws house as i can't see Fred in them ;)

Lot of Bears in the last shot.I hope Freds been good.

I've a couple of Germany trips coming up next week and the week after. If he's near Stafford before then. Next week he could visit the home of Audi. Only trouble is I have to figure out how I can take a camera without breaking any rules.....

I'm passing him on to Gryphon via Raggity at the next Yorkshire meet a week on Saturday. Garry is taking him on honeymoon to thr Canaries.
Who knows after that.

Well tom he needs a re-couperation period, after you fed him all that booze and fags, self incriminating evidence in previous post :D

It's not my fault. I just don't know how he finds all the hidden booze while I'm at work. I get home and he's slaughtered, starting fights with other animals in the kids room, leaving honey footprints all over the floor.
I don't know, I'm a nervous wreck, and frankly I'll be glad to be rid of him.
