General Chat

I had a lovely time - Viv was a super travelling companion - thanks for the coffee - and I found lots of info in the hour I spent at the Records Office - also popped into the Millennium Library to look at microfiche of stained and damaged parish registers before joining all the others for drinks and food. And I managed to be under cover every time it rained! I enjoyed my talking competition with Daisy - I think it was a draw. Sorry James that you missed us, though goodness knows we were lively enough!!! nell

Nell that's very generous of you but I think I have to concede defeat! Daisy

Hi all, Just wanted to say a BIG THANKYOU to everyone for coming, it was a great afternoon and so nice to be able to put faces to names we know so well on here. James, I have just received an email fronm Diane - I can`t believe that you were both there and yet didn`t get to see us. I was in reception from 12.45 and went to the Quarterdeck Bar at 1pm. I sat on my own at the bar until Benjamin and Phoenix arrived and then we chatted until others came in. The staff knew we were expecting a large group of people, and we didn`t go round the corner until gone 2pm, how did you miss us??? Hopefully you will make it for the September meet. Thanks again everyone. Frances

What a shame you couldn't find us James, was looking forward to meeting you, and a shame for Diane too. Sorry the others couldn't make it. I didn't arrive till way after 3pm but spent a while trying to learn who was who - it was lovely to meet people so I have faces to go with names now. Frances and I stayed on and had another drink and a chat then I gave her a lift home. Next time we will have to have a big sign up somewhere! Liz

Iam so glad that everyone had a good time. role on september!

Just got home tonight from a thoroughly wet but enjoyable weekend in Norfolk. Would like to say thanks to Frances for arranging the meet and making me feel so welcome, having never met any of you before it felt really strange walking into there. Now as I go through the posts I will be able to put some faces to some of the names. So sorry to miss James and Diane, I really don't know how we missed them because we didn't move from the bar into the rowdy corner until our meal came which was just after 2pm. You weren't by any chance the guy that collapsed in the bar were you James?? Looking forward to seeing the piccies. Kat

Hi Kat, Glad you got home safely, hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend. Check out the photos page - we are there! Sorry, but did giggle at your comment about the man who collapsed - hope he was ok. Frances

Hi Frances It was good to meet you too. Having not met James, it could have been him!!?? I just can't believe we never saw him fall let alone heard him , he must have fallen very gracefully, poor man, hope he is OK tho'. hope to see you all at September meet and the elusive Sue NZ. Kat

Hi everyone, well I am sitting in the Quarter deck bar now, using the Hotels lap top - where is everyone? Better have another glass then ..................

Oh poor Heather, have only just seen this, errm. we were there Saturday.... :)) Hope you are ok, Chris :)
