Cheers Kate have fun. Can I just mention there are only a few pages left in GB's Autograph Book. If you could all just add a couple of sentences along with you name and only use half a page each there should be enough room for all to sign. Thanks Jenny xx

Hi Jenny, I'll tell Polly and crew about autograph book. I've been trying to see about local press but lady I know was on holiday till today and hasn't got back to me yet. Is there anything in particular that I should tell her? I've got a rough idea but advice is always very welcome. Christine xx

Hey there Woody!!! :-))) Any chance I can have a copy of it too??? If no-one minds?? I've got our editor from our wee local monthly paper 'West Word' onto it as well and sid I'd forward on any info as and when I get it :-) Thanks!! Will pm you my email addy!! RDA.x.

No probs, RDA, quite frankly West Word might be better than the Lochaber News. Sometimes the Highland News part thinks it's the blessed News of the World! Don't have a great deal of faith in them actually - can you tell??!! I'll send it as soon as I get it from Jenny. Did you see about the autograph book? We can sort that out easily enough. Hope Puss is still able to come

Yep noted the bit about the autograph book.............I can imagine it being quite chocka already!!! That'd be great if you can forward it on to me...........have you tried Ian Abernethy for the Lochaber news he does the Roamer column for this end??? He's to be found in the bahoochie's bookshop at the top end of FW beside Anthony MacMillan's photography place....used to be the old rainbow wool shop......he's quite into all the local sort of snippets in his column and if not he'd get you the right person to report on it from the FW office of the Highland News/Lochaber News/Highland Star..................might be worth a try??? What about the Oban Times?? Is it worth giving them a ring?? One of their reporters is a local lass from Morar.....she may be interested since she's from this area??? RDA.x.

Hi again Christine, I have sent press release to your email addy. Can you print some copies off and hand to those that want, or shall I print some and send them by post? So sorry I really did mean to put some with GB. Jenny. x

Kate Report 21 Aug 2006 20:55

Hi Jenny, sorry for the delay in answering, Ive read about the autograph book and will use just a wee bit of a page. Kate

RDA if you know him you might be better asking him - sounds more his department anyway as the one I know deals with the ads, she might feel she's stepping on someone's toes. Plus the fact you're actually local to Lochaber - I'm not! Got the press stuff, Jenny, thanks a million. Will forward to RDA and anyone else who wants it and can print off copies as reqd as well. No point sending copies by post - heaven knows how much it'll cost now that they've changed the method of charging letters.

Hi Jenny Sorry I've not been on, but had so much trouble with this site over the weekend that I gave up!! Had lots to do anyway, so no excuses. If you want to e-mail me the press release I will pass it on to anyone that wants to use it as I find out everyone's plans. You have my addy. I should be able to put together a rough timetable after I speak to people at the two meets, however I am on holiday all next week and won't be near a computer, so don't panic if all seems quiet! Will make sure there is a note with the autograph book to let everyone know. Sheila

Hi there if anyone's still on!!! Have forward on the basic details to the 2 local weeklies for this end and hopefully will get a response asap!!! I know a few people and it's in this sort of instance my connections come to the fore as Polly's found out!!! RDA.x.

Just put up a couple of photo's. Please guy's bare in mind, and look at the time on photo's! I had left at 6am, had blow out as I got onto M6, just as heavens opened, I just wanted coffee when I got to Gretna, but no, Jen wanted photo shoot first, then all I could think about was getting to hotel and a glass of wine, well after putting GB safely in the chair of the room first!!! Sorry if I don't look happy!!! Kim xx

Kim, cannot find the photo's you are talking about. I have put the best of mine on but need your permission to give everyone a great laugh at the ones that have come out as if we were in the Hall of Mirrors. They are so funny even you will be hysterical. Lemon, can you make sure GB has clean knickers on and does not get into any trouble. She is not on her Hen Party you know.!!!!! Jenny xx
