Oh dear, mea culpa. What with the clocks going forward, and 101 other things going wrong, by the time I was ready to go, I was not not to get there until about 12.45 and thought I would miss everyone :0( But is does sound like I could have got there at 10.30 and still miss everyone :0). Sorry everyone, and I am sure you all glad you did not approach the man with the beard (though us bearded ones are very friendly, and used to being mistaken for other bearded people). There are two solutions: I dye my hair red, Sandra dye her hair green, someone else shave their hair off, and someone else come naked. Solution number 2 is Sandra's excellent idea of either a weekend lunch at her place (what a kind offer - my tiny place and parents would object!), or an evening pub meet. Weekends (especially Saturdays) are best for me too (though am away over Easter). What say ye? Nigel

Hi Sandra, that sounds like a fab idea. Weekends are best for me aswell Nat

Hi there, Didn't make it after all on Sunday - my son wasn't well over the weekend and wasn't fair to leave the missus at home with him AGAIN (I was out most of Saturday). So that's why no red coat and no lilac wife lol Paul

I was wearing my glasses honestly!! next problem will be where to meet and when. I work in a school so weekdays except in holiday or of course evening at the pub!! otherwise weekends I dont mind hosting aweekend lunch if that suits. sandra(not more than 20!!!!!)

Hi Everyone, I was there in my blue williams f1 coat, but as everyone I didn't see anyone. I got there 10.30am and left about 11.30. Yes we should meet up somewhere local and hopefully we wouldn't miss anyone nat

Can't manage groupies at my time of life. ;)

You're a new one Geoff - were you disguised as Paul in the big red coat or Natalie in the Williams F1. No, you had the blue fleece on, didn't you? You might have said you were coming and we would have said hello to you. Kathy lol :-))

I was wearing a blue fleece.

Carol - What time were you there then? I nearly broke my neck on those flipping stairs too - very dangerous!! Sandra - we could have met by the coffee bar or the toilets!! lol - but didn't know what to expect inside. Kathy

Hi Kathy Guess we must have passed each other I was all in a fetching shade of pale green! trousers jumper and body warmer. perhaps we should have said a definate place, sandra

Sandra, That's what I want to know too. I got there at 10.30 and stayed until about 11.30 and kept looking around, but saw no-one who described themselves. Were you all incognito?? I was looking for men in red coats with lilac wives, and woman in F1 coat, but couldn't find you. It was very crowded and I didn't buy much, either. Am more interested in Essex records as I don't have any rellies from Oxfordshire but thought it would have been nice to put your faces to your names. Sandra, I had my mid-blue fleece and brown hair - you could have approached me. Didn't know what you were wearing. Kathy

Where did everyone go, I know I was a little late about 10.45 couldnt park! but I had my badge on but somehow missed everyone. Perhaps we could make a meet somewhere else local Nigel tried talking to men with beards but did you shave? Carole at least we didnt have to worry about being the oldies seems to be we only start researching as we mature!! didnt buy much am dissapointed I didnt meet up hope we can make another date. sandra
