I have been to meets in Poole, Portsmouth and London. I am shy and not good at mixing socially and tend to listen more than find things to talk about unless it is about family history; everyone I have met has been friendly.

Oh, I forgot, and I went to one in Liverpool, which was when Keith wore a kilt in order to raise money for cancer research.
And an extremely kind lady called Beryl and her husband met me from the airport, took me to my hotel, treated me to lunch and took me round Liverpool to see the sights and back to their home for tea; I haven't "seen" her here for ages.

Sorry I am just remebering the first time TW and I met BC on the train station, PMSL, we had a row over the colour of a womens coat I blamed Teresa for putting BC on the wrong train, the train pulled up with about 12 carriages I sadi TW you look left and I wll look right I had 2 carriages TW had the other 8, we ran to BC like she was our long lost Aunt coming home from the war and threw ourselves at her, its was so nice,

TeresaW Report 13 Feb 2010 23:17

She did, as we saw the red errr..titian hair at the OTHER END OF THE PLATFORM......we ran to her, she held her arms out and shouted 'GIRLS!' while we threw ourselves at her.

This was after we had spend 30 mins standing on the wrong platform to wait for her

And the woman's coat was MUSTARD!

Then BC shouted that she had left her weed on the train....in front of a dozen policemen....we didn't know where to look, neither did they LOL

I have a picture in my head of who you all are. None nasty ( well not much anyway lol ) and would hate to spoil it by meeting up. :-)))))


I personally think meets should be for everyone; After all, how do Newbies get to join in?

I doubt very much that someone who has been a pain in the neck to most people would attend and if they did it wouldn't do them much good, so there is no real point in telling them they are not wanted....IMO.

It does make me wonder though, if newbies may watch the boards and not want to join in....'we' know each other and know who to avoid....we also know when others are joking or not......but, I honestly think the meets threads are off putting if you don't know the people on them.


I have to say though....some of the points made have been really interesting and some predictable :-)))
