Seems like nearly the whole board went by the what I've been told :-)

Me but dont think Im that popular there Dan lol! Dave

didnt actually notice that it was an quieter on here than normal. Jess - who didnt

How come Dave? Where you once banished to The North forever?

No, but in true GR style I have been finding rafts of rellies on the census and updating my records. I've also found my elusive gt gt gt grandparents' deaths and ordered the certs. Their surname was Mealing, but one is in the index as Mellins and the other as Mealins! nell

Yes I am Northern Dan and sadly I have to remain that way forever! Dave

I didn't because of the tragic accident (see Elaine's thread). Daisy

I didn't - I did a CP fundraiser instead. But I am meeting my distant cousin (who I found through GR) and his family tomorrow. We've met before and get on really well, so we're up to London tomorrow! Jan

Not me!!

Sadly I'm not in London either :-( Pat x

I did not go, sat watching Georgies funeral xxhugxx

Ididn't go either Dan. Stayed at home and did some decorating. Now I'm off to get ready to go out tonight.

I didn't go either. Didn't want to give my cold to anyone !!!Like Lindy, I watched Georgie Best's funeral and have to admit I sat and cried! Hope that those who went had a brilliant time. Viv

I was not able to go. And there were so many people there whose hand I did so wish to shake. I hope they all had a good time, for such occasions do make the bonds that we have forged on our screens all the much stronger. I hope there will be another such occasion, for I will make greater an effort next time. K

i didnt go either hav been to one london meet though last february i hav more GR friends in the north though so tend to use my sparse money to go to those meets instead :-)

I didn't - but hoping to go to the SOG Annual Family History Fair in London again next April; this year's was brilliant. Mandy :)

I travelled to Bath. :-)

I was at work this morning and asleep on the sofa for most of the afternoon. Gwynne

I wasn't able to go as I am 'confined to barracks' at the present time. I would love to be able to put faces to all the familiar names I see on here. Perhaps in the not too distant future I may be able to meet some of the lovely people on these boards. Here's hoping.

So many of us would have loved to have been there. Perhaps there be a kinship greater than some may realize. I for one do look forward to the photos. Perhaps, at this time of year, we may all look upon them with the feeling of ............. well..... maybe you know what I mean....!
