Mtay9778 324 Posted June 9, 2016 Really looking forward to another great Skegness Weekender. Last year was fantastic! I haven't visited The Grosvenor before but from what I've read and the photos I've seen it looks the bees knees. Chuffed to have been invited to play alongside the other Young Generators once again and a big thanks to all involved for giving us this opportunity! If I don't see any of you beforehand then see you in September!!! Mike :-) 2 Link to comment
