Great to meet all you lovely folks at last :-))))))) Jan and I had a really good time and look forward to the next time. p.s. Thanks to Strump for organising it, Annie for getting us up in the morning and Jan for her map reading skills. Rick & Jan.xx

Just to let you know I've added a few photos to Mags' album on the GC Photospage (hope you don't mind Mags). It is only a few as well as I still haven't mastered the digital camera (didn't have the flash on for most of those I took). Carolyn

Hi All Well I'm only just back from a long weekend! It was great to see so many of you and those that were unable to make it this time missed a fabulous day. Many many thanks to Donna for making it all happen and Gaynor and Rob for the lovely food and yellow roses which travelled back to Wales safely. Linda x

Got them eventially.... thanks for the picture of me in training.... not impressed to say the least.... you lot are supposed to see me in my angelic virtuous pose not with a glass of red and a fag!! :O) Hope you all loved Susie my training partner!! :O)

Sounds like everyone had a fab time... sadly we couldnt make it in the end. Next year ! Paul & Shaz

Yes, have been viewing all the pics as well, you all look lovely!..

Just looked at the photos. Love the captions! How brilliant to see you as well as "talk" to you. Joy

Hi again, Photospage address: GCphotospage@groups(.)(msn)(.)com A few more on there now - could only add them one at at time - couldn't get the thingy to download. Let me know if you are not happy about your photo being there and I will delete it. Magsxx AArrrrgh! the address isn't coming out despite brackets - can anyone help?? http://group(.)msn(.)comGCphotospage (Thanks to Smiffie's thread)

Could not make it but it deserves a nudge. Love Deb.

Helen Glad you survived the M25. Yes, it's amazing how 3 people can find so many things in common...and yet still not manage to make a genealogical connection! Please see Strump's thread about doing it all again next year. Again, how do I get to see the photos? nell

Hi all, I had a great time and it was lovely to meet you all and put names to the faces. A special mention for my two new 'sisters' also called Helen with whom I had a great chat and seemed to find so much in common!!! Mel, it was good to meet you too! Gaynor, you and Rob were great and thank-you for the wonderful food and lovely roses. Donna, it was brilliant of you to organise it all. Well done everyone who was able to come!

I am deeply dopey. How do I find the photospage? nell

Glad that you all had a good time and sorry that I couldn't be there to meet you all. Love to Gaynor and Rob. Maggy

Some photos now on the GC Photospage - not as many as I took but we can't all be David Bailey!! lol Magsx

Glad we all got home safely after being well fed, watered and entertained. night night nell

I am really sorry I wasn't able to make it. My car played up last night and I didn't want to trust it on a fast road like the A34 until it has been fixed. Sounds like all had a good time :-) Jim

Oh I wish I could have been there to meet you all, and I'm so glad you all had a lovely time.. Whens the next one??? Pat xxxxx

had a wonderful day and met some lovely people. Thanks to Donna for arranging it, Gaynor for inspiration, Rob for lunch, Mags and Phil for the lift, and all the rest of you for just being there. Jill xx

i had such a great time cant describe how i feel rite now............... lou xxxx

I meant to say a spooky thing about the roses. All the way there I kept saying to Henry, when we get there I want to find a flower shop as I have an irresistible urge to buy Gaynor just one yellow rose, but the place was just off the motorway so we never found a shop. I do wish I'd bought one now ... It really was a lovely day and a memory to treasure. Hugs to all that were there and hope to meet others sometime too. xxx Annie Back to chatston pub tomorrow after my friend's baby's christening ...
