Have looked at the pic and it was really nice to be able to put faces to the names. Why were Yvonne and Sandra in daliy mail, dont' read that paper it's much too interlectial for me!!!! Shelli

Hi Ann Certainly did - and passed the info on to Kathleen who put it on the MB earlier!! Sue

Do those of you who were at Bristol know we had 2 celebrities in our midst? In todays Daily Mail there is a lovely photo of Yvonne and Sandra. I thought that I was seeing things!! Ann Glos

Photos on groups(.)msn(.)com/WeaversendCottageCollection. After http:// don't include www or it won't work and remove the brackets of course! Sue

Glad you had a good time - I was really sorry I couldn't make it, perhaps see you next time?

So pleased you all enjoyed yourselves, as of course I guessed you would. I was very disappointed not to be able to get there after all, especially as Yvonne & Sandra were kind enough to offer me a lift. Car is now back but really could do with a new one, this one is nearly as old as me!! I'm sure the staff were delighted to have such a happy crowd of customers. Kathleen

Sue and Marly, Minutes read - so glad you had a good time. Elisabeth

Hi Ann - pleased you all enjoyed urselves. We went to Cribbs causeway on the bus, sorry, l was guided by sister and it saved me driving:)) Jude

Thanks for organising it Sue it was a great 3 hours (for me) no doubt a lot longer for you as you were still there when we left. It was good to meet Marly, Debbie Yvonne, Jill, Marian and yourself Sue, not forgetting Debbie's family and Yvonne's Sandra who kept Tony amused. (Should I rephrase that?) Who kept Tony company. Ann Glos

Have a lovely day. Hope the weather has calmed down for you all. Michele

Have a great day all of you. Looking forward to seeing the piccies on pipersdaughter. jim

Kathleen So sorry you won't be able to make it today. I emailed Yvonne last night so hopefully she will have checked her emails this morning before setting off. Everyone Whoever arrives first should try to 'bag' the alcove in the non-smoking area and ask if they would put the tables together to seat 10 to 12 of us. See you all soon! Sue

I do hope that someone will see this and will be able to let Yvonne know. My wretched car broke down this evening - has had to go for repair and won't be ready until tomorrow afternoon, so I won't be able to make Chieveley. I have sent an e-mail through GC but that is not reliable - they did not send me Yvonne's e-mail!! Had hoped that it would be fixed in time but I suppose it was expecting too much. I am so disappointed but c'est la vie!!! Hopefully there will be another time. I hope you all have a lovely time. Kathleen

Elisabeth - shorthand notebook at the ready! Margaret - many thanks for your good wishes. Hope all goes well for you on Sunday! Sue

I hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow. Will be thinking of you. You can think about us Scots having ours on Sunday. Have fun and don't dig up too many skeletons :o)) Regards Margaret

Sueme, Marly and everyone else. Have a wonderful time. We will await the full minutes of the meeting when you return. Elisabeth

Thanks Colin - we'll tell you all about it afterwards! Sue
