The Official Count!
Well the final count is in and we had 26 ribs launched from Chris's plus 2 from Holyhead, 1 from Plas Coch plus HP (1/2 way round). According to Chris that is the best turnout so far previous best that launched from Chris's was 23
A fantastic turnout then. As you see at the start of the thread I said I would give £5.00 for Macmillan for every rib that took part . I will therefore make a donation of £150
Thanks for all your support in making it happen! A great day with a great bunch of fellow Ribbers!
Nick
PS If anybody has a better count then let me know!

Well done Nick, cracking day, it's definitely worth doing it in May, not April or even late March as in previous years!!!! 
This was a great end to the day for us before heading back up to Menai Bridge.
