Jamie Gibbs – “We pretty much got the go-ahead on Friday morning. George sent a message to our shared whatsapp group saying, “it’s on!” I arranged to meet Adam Lewis, Ric Cleworth and some of the lads from Cornwall in Bodmin to get some essential supplies, mainly consisting of the ingredients for the legendary ‘turbo plonk’ we had created on George’s stag a few years before.
As we wandered around collecting food and booze, we suddenly realised nobody had informed Andy ‘Bubble’ Chambers what was happening and it was now p.m.! After a quick call from Ric, saying ‘’Get in the van mate and start driving! We’re having a secret stag for Muzza’’, I decided I should follow up with another call to strengthen our arguments and convince him to come. He didn’t need it. He was already on route driving the four hours from Bournemouth to Bantham. That’s commitment for you!
For some reason, it seemed to take forever for us to get what we needed, and it wasn’t until we got a message from George saying they didn’t have too far to go that we realised it was going to be a ‘Top gear’ style race against time to arrive before they did!”
