 At the start of the 2014 Mini Bash, the Ewan Gilmore Memorial Mini Bash, obviously a bit of a sweet experience for us, we have come along, Mini Bash, all the teams have come together once again another three days, spending up around Northland, enjoying a piece of Northland and really getting out and putting smiles on kids' faces up in Northland. Over here we have the GT limo, once again the iconic Ewan Gilmore wagon, we're going to be doing it for you on this weekend, a lot of people have turned up from around the place specifically to farewell our good friend and we thought we'd take his wagon along for the ride. As we move through Northland we're going to visit schools, giving away a heck of a lot of stuff over the next few days, really looking forward to it, so me and my mate here, a couple of us are obviously dressed a little bit differently than we normally would, but my mate here, we're really looking forward to this year, aren't we mate? Very special Mini Bash and we're going to have lots of memories this year and it'll be a lot of fun as well and he'll want that. Hi Andy, just in comments about Ewan as we go round to meet the bashers for the beginning of the Mini Bash. Oh, when I did my first bash Ewan came up and introduced himself to me and he said he wanted to show me something and I was so excited it was Ewan Gilmore, he took me round the corner, he had three firetracks lined up, they all got me wet, he was the first one to get me wet, love Ewan. Well, we always found Ewan to be the first in the queue for food, he would be the first to whinge if it wasn't just perfect, you know, but like you really, but other than that, no, he was just one of those neat guys that was always there, you know, part of the team, and just, that's what this is all about, just being a whole good group of mates, having a neat week away or weekend away or whatever. He just was so good for the bash, you know, and just, everything about him was just wonderful, you know, so, yeah, well, I get a bit emotional so I reckon. Yeah, yeah, we all are. Yeah mate, he was a true Westie, a real Westie, lived out there, just local to us, and a man of my own heart, a true Westie mate. He was funny, he was cheeky to the monkey, very cheeky. Did he make a difference to the bash? Yeah, this is a positive interview, and I think he did. Could you try that again? OK, no, you're a great guy, and probably brought a lot of hilarity to the group and to the public, but man, he can swear like a bastard, can't he? And, you know, I just think that he's a big loss for the gang. I just find him on the side of the road because his team had left him behind and they'd find his own way, and we'd give him a ride, and he's always been there. He was into everything, he's helped me, he either had his own team, or he was MCing, and he just did a hell of a lot for the bash and we realised.
