&lt;p&gt;Wow!&amp;nbsp; what a fantastic weekend we&amp;#39;ve all just experienced at ABode Chester, it was incredible to see so many budding gladiators but perhaps don&amp;#39;t give up your day jobs just yet - you&amp;#39;ve proved to excel in those rather than become chariot builders!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;d love to hear any stories from the weekend or even just your memories, if any photos were taken make sure you upload them on here so we can all see them, our pics will be uploaded shortly and I&amp;#39;m sure there will be some comments to those.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Congratualtions once again and make sure you display your &amp;#39;Acorn&amp;#39; with pride - you deserve to!&lt;/p&gt;

Hi Rob,

What a great idea! I am sure that all Acorns will be up for a meet up... I would love to catch up with you all!

I thought it would be good to have a catch up for whoever is available in the next couple of weeks. I am happy to host drinks and snacks at my hotel some evening. It would be good to keep the contact following the weekend away. It will always be difficult to do something that everyone can make due to the Geographic issues, but there seems to be quite a few of us in London or the surrounds. Obviously we would like to invite the team from Caterer and Unilever if you would like to join us. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. 

Thanks 

Rob</description></item><item><title>2009 Winner's weekend</title><link>http://www.catererandhotelkeeper.co.uk/tabletalk/groups/acorns/forum/p/756/1125.aspx#1125</link><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2009 08:45:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">fd818be7-dd62-42cc-b7e6-208e5917b717:1125</guid><dc:creator>Gooldy</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;All winners confirmed now and full steam ahead for the winner&amp;#39;s weekend - all pray for sunshine!&lt;/p&gt;
