Time to say goodbye....for a while

Post by Andy »

Dear :ad4x4: ,

It is with a great sadness that I have to say goodbye as I am leaving the Middle East, for a while.

My company has been awarded a large contract and I have been promoted to Project Manager to take care of it, unfortunately this means I have to relocate to London and then either Australia or Houston.

Being part of this family has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, the warmth and friendship has been truly amazing. I hope in the short time I have been with the club, I have been able to give at least a little back for what it has given me.

I wish you all the very best for you and your families, and thank you all for the assistance, advice and friendship you have given me..... :cheers:


Kindest regards

Andy.... :(

Hi Andy,

Congrats on the promotion, but a sad day for the 4x4 family. I'm sure you and the plastic pig will be sorely missed.

Be good to have a farewell drive before you leave, one last chance to cover me in sand.

Good luck mate and keep in touch.

Cheers

Really bad news for AD4x4 Andy, but as long as it's better for you then we have to be happy.
All the good luck in your move and promotion, but let us know your news and stay connected.
If you are planning any farewell trips, then count me in.

Andy surely bad news, but promotion and being with 'She who must be obayed' must be attractive.
U will be missed mate and its a shame that it has all come about just before the season kicked off.
If u r in the vicinity and feel the urge to get sand in between ur toes, u'll always have a seat in a Patrol (whether the drivers or passengers) and a pillow to lay ur head in KCA.
Thanks for all ur support both to the club and personally myself.
See u on ur farewell do!!!!

BTW, please inform the new owner of the PP that she is betrowthed to the Silver-Surfer and is with-Tiidas, and I have rights to half the litter.

What a shock, but hey ho, this is life here, people come and people go, congratulations on the promotion mate.

You have been a star member and thank you very much for the enthusiasm you have shown on each and every trip, your promotion to Marshal was well deserved.

Remember...."Once a Marshal always a Marshal" so we hope to see you again should you return to the UAE.

What are you doing with your Jeep?? let me know.

Best wishes Mac & Gillian.
