Hi Monica, Well done to your daughter. The Orphanage you spoke of was turned into a college. I used to go swimming there when I was at school. There was talk of the college closing, but I might have got that wrong. Casualty is also filmed on the site. I once went met someone who had some connection with the orphanage. He was saying that the children never really went without things that money could buy as businesses always donated generously. Obviously this could not make up for the loss of their parents. Jill

Hi Marly- I was next door in the Leisure Centre as my daughter was competing in the Western Cheerleading and Dance Competitions ( her team came Ist and 2nd!)- Luckily we went by coach as parking as you say looked impossible- dropped in at the Fair in my lunch break- difficult to know where to start though- but at least managed to get a phone no for my grans Muller orphanage in Bristol. Chatted to several stall holders- they had not heard of Genes C!! Hope you found something useful.

Hi, Pat - I probably will not get there until about 11.30, but I will try to get there earlier.I do not know train times but will find out tomorrow and let you know. I will be looking sheepish as well as I have never been to one of these either. I will carry a GC green folder and a small twig in my pocket for flashing if I think its you. How will I recognize you? Debbi - Do you want directions to Bath or just once you get there? Sorry its late but I have had a busy evening. Looking forward to it - sure we will have lots of laughs! Is anyone bringing a camera? Jill
