HI everybody I just want to add my thanks to everybody for making it such a memorable day, I cannot remember ever being so wet withut being in a bath or swimming pool, however the food and company made up for that, my balloons sailed into the wind after we left the restuarant with their messages on, I also enjoyed the time that a number of us spent in macdonalds warming up with a cup of tea, a big htank you to all who made it a great day and to those who got me back to Piccadilly, send my regards to Sam and tell him I hope wedesday win their next match Linda P (the one with no badge) |

I rang the restaurant to thank them - told them we were all delighted with the meals and that we would be back - the owner was tickled pink - its not often they get large parties in midweek. |

Glad everyone enjoyed the day. I was really looking forward to being there but the weather beat me. I am a wheelchair user and so wet weather really is difficult for me. Hope I can make the next meeting. Best wishes to all. Mel |

My thanks to everyone for arranging the meeting. Everything was fantastic ,including the weather - late afternoon we had brilliant sunshine, sorry you missed it again. These meetings are getting better and better. Top that one She! and you probably will. Couldn't say hello to everyone as the table arrangement wouldn't allow it, and I missed speaking to Anthony. Hope you had a good time with the Mad Manchester Maids (& Masters) Anthony. As Lynne mentioned we let our balloons and all our wishes fly away as we left. Love to all Vera |

well it was a day none of us will forget in a hurry - with our taxi driver nearly having a nervous breakdown and taking over 20 minutes to find zoe's hotel , to the man who saw me walk into the lounge with the balloons and think i was a stripogram, the weather being wet!!!!! was brilliant - and the buffet was good - think we should have a trip back there :-) Paul and I are going to get a small helium balloon kit and when we get Zoe down to visit we will release them here in wakefield - to make up for the ones that flopped a tad today. we will give you a total raised for Winstons Wish as soon as all the other cheques etc have arrived - thank you all for your company today - it was so laid back and enjoyable She & Paul xx |

I would like to thank you all for coming,and suppporting She, Zoe and Paul, they were the real workers behind all this. I am looking forward to the next one too. Love June xx |

Such a shame about the weather, but I'm quite happy to know my Mam's balloon might have gone to a child! Mam was a nanny and Mother of 4, so she wouldn't mind at all. Many thanks to everyone! Love from Sal.x |

I arrived home about an hour ago, just had my tea. It was realy nice to meet everybody as this was my 1st meet up(apart from meeting June in sainsburys for coffee), it was good to put faces to names. Shame about the balloons but the kids were suited to bits . The buffet was excellent thanks to She,Paul,Zoe and June for a super day also GR |
