Thanks to Jay R for the prompt.

Here's a few shots of the first CPF UK meet up at the Devil's Punchbowl in Surrey - way back in July 2008!

Where are your memories?

petrev, Orb and Jarl at the picnic table. Rob's taking apart a Nitecore piston. You can see Branny's gift holsters on the table (Branny's glasses RHS)

Longest Mag Mod of the day award goes to petrev.

The lightest table around in England so far - we lightened it the next year though! Is that a Wee on the RHS?

...and then we lit up the South Downs! (petrev winning this hands down as usual).

I think our next meet was North Devon, Braunton, Sept 2009?

If memory serves me correctly then the following went.
Orb, Petrev, cdosrun +1, Jay R, Meganoggin + Mrs Claire Meganoggin, Remoteneeded, Nyctophiliac and myself.

Didn't the sat nav take us to a carpark in Barnstable?

Rob bought his Lummi Wee XP-E R2 which worked well in the small reflector.
I had a Surefire E1e triple XP-G and I seem to remember Nyctophiliac, Jay R, Petrev and Meganoggin wanting one too.

It was a great meet with a barbecue.
