  For the last 18 months I haven't attended a meet owing to personal circumstances.

  After hearing of Mick68 and Voluptoraptors engagement , we decided to attend the Forest Glade meet , and surprise Mick and Suzy and catch up with our UKCS friends , whom we hadn't seen for so long.

  On the sunday afternoon/evening of the meet ( the last night ) I got very drunk.I am not going to try and justify getting drunk , or my subsequent behaviour , but I would like to apologise.

  During a conversation with Paul and Wendy they informed me that they had received complaints from 2 families about me.Basically , I was loud , obnoxious , and swore alot in front of children , and around the firepits where everybody was gathered.

  I would like to apologise to everybody I offended or upset that evening.I do mean that sincerely , and I'm mortified that I've put my friends Paul and Wendy in the position I have.

  That done , I would like to say , that actually , I think I'm quite a nice person , and I'm only disappointed that nobody felt they could approach me the following morning and pull me about it , at least then I could have apologised in person.

  So my apologies to Ian and Ratty , Paul and Wendy , and the families that concerned.You know  who you are.

We've all made mistakes............makes you cringe, doesn't it? lol.

There is no one on here that is perfect. I'm sure they'll forgive you.

I wasn't there so I don't know what you did, but they're a forgiving bunch usually........I think.  Good luck.

noone is perfect

im sure at the time you didnt realise i dont know i wasnt there

but as a parent of 2 small 3 and 6 year old children

if i was there and took offence at your actions i would have stood up and taken my children away from you , just as all the parents preasant could have done also, then come back without them in tow to tell you you was being an ass :p

you say your saddened that noone aproached you next morning , from your pics you look a large guy that may make many not say boo not all of us but many thats prob why, or maybee they was all waiting for the hosts to step in and sort it i dont know maybee the hosts should have been the ones to tell you

they see a drunk man swearing infront of children they didnt want to get free plastic surgery so they stayed quiet , if you was a 4 stone weed be sure they would have told you to shut your mouth im sure

im not saying they should have to but im saying if you was so rude ect they could have done

you have come and posted what i see as a sinceer apology and i hope that they take that the way you so obviously intended it

it takes a man to admit his faults................it takes a real man not to make the same mistake a second time :p

well done for speaking out

Wow, well done that was great to see and all I can say is that we have all done it so you are not unique.

Not part of the crowd you mentioned, just browsing but I have been there myself and know how you feel. But friendship will see beyond the booze and if it doesn't just get p*ssed again!

I thought this was an apology from Kev  I was going to post something along the lines of 'never mind mate, we all love ya and accept who you are and the way you are etc'

But SAM??????

Sam!!

 sam. take it from some one who seems to have certain issues with certain people who get a bit (understatment) drunk.

  you aint the first and you wont be the last. its just the way things go. i must say, i commend you on the fact that you are big enough to say sorry about it. i know of a few that think it better to pack up early and leave with out saying a word and think everything is ok.

  all that said, i am sure you will be fine at meets in the future.. but .....

      DONT LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN......   hehehehehe

Hmmm

I would have thought this message would have been from Kevin as well  certainly not our Samantha . not that I'm saying Kev is a loud mouth far from it,

We all have our faults when we have had a few too many, & I have witnessed far worse than what you are describing Sam.

You have made your apology and I know you well enough to know that it is sincere otherwise you wouldn't have taken the trouble to post at all.

X

I was there, I wasn't offended and don't remember seeing signs of anyone else being offended. Having said that, it's a shame that anyone was as I know that would never have been your intention Sam.

To anyone reading this who doesn't know Sam, she is a very nice person indeed and as Julie has said, would not have posted if she didn't mean every word.

Well you dont need to be einstein to work out that I was one of those who have spoken up since the meet. I'm not going to get into a slanging match over the rights and wrons of swearing as I have said to paul in my email when charlotte presses the wrong buttons on me I let rip at her so I'm no angel either.

Yes I did find your behavior on sunday to be what I would describe as disgracefull.I have nothing agaisnt anyone enjoying their self what or how you chose to do in your own 4 walls is our own buisness for me larger or vodka as breakfast I left behind me  in my 20's the ammount of times I have driven then when I really shouldnt have is in the past for me. It is of my personal view that the quiz was spoilt somewhat by your antics  I'm not a person who speaks up at the time of something happening and with amanda being unwell on sunday and laying in bed my concern was for her and keep an eye on my daughter.

As for monday and not commenting well after amanda had the bug she kindly passed it on to me thats love and in between bouts of coughing we also had to pack down. We were so slow in doing so that we get wet and drove home as we were and had to put the trailer tent up to dry out and then rang in sick for work as I was by then feeling like death warmed up.

It is appreciated that you have taken the time and effort to write an appology thread  a person who doesnt give two hoots would probably not do so.

I have no right to judge you as a person but I just didnt feel comfortable being on the next meet with you which is only 1 reason we pulled out of birch coppice there are other reason totaly unconected to yourself or ukcs as to why we have pulled out.As I have said to paul we will be back at meets probably not this year but most likely next year as we ourselves enjoy the meets and genrally the company on them.I try not to judge a book by its cover and to judge you is unfair and as I said I have no right to judge you.

Maybe our paths will cross at future meets who knows what may happen as far as I 'm concerned this matter is closed you have said sorry and I have accepted it.   

Thank you.

ok..that over , I can go back to my pink font.

pecker and theclarkes , thanks for accepting my apology. I am , by nature a very honest person who speaks her mind , my downfall is that I often expect others to be the same , i.e if I have a problem with someone , I tell them. We are after all grownups ( well , most of the time.) I'm putting this behind me , and down to experience , I'm glad you both feel the same.

 Perhaps Ian , Rat or my lully Loops may feel its time for this one to be locked and put to bed.

    sam.

But before it is. Hi Sam, good to see you are still around.

I know you are a lovely person and would never have ment to cause any one problems.

See you and Kev and kids soon.

Aw this post just goes to show what a lovely person you are   Knowing you if someone had spoken up at the time you would have shut up straight away.

 I first thought it was Kev posting and was thinking the same about him, just tell him to shut up, he's a big softy really.

Great to see you off to meets again, hope we can meet up again sometime in the future.
