Yes Lyn, looking forward to it. I had an amazing Monday afternoon, must tell you about it. Only just come down to earth and all to do with family history, not the lottery!

Hello Lyn,

I really was hoping to say I could join you all tomorrow - but it`s not to be.

I have a raffle prize, the book `Birmingham - The Sinister Side`, so will keep it for the next time.

Best wishes to all - Annie.

Haven`t quite plucked up the courage to post or reply, but still enjoy browsing the site.
 
hi annie im so sorry you cant make it tomorrow but really hope you make the next one..i have heard about that book..its said to be a good read..annie you dont need courage to post on the forum..you have just done it..we all had to start somewhere trouble with me was once i started i didnt know how to stop lol.. so i will look forward to reading your posts:encouragement: ...look out for the photos of the meet im sure there will be one or two posted..

Looking forward to tomorrow Lyn, but have packed my brolly just in case lol!!!!!!! Coming via friends , but hoping to be there around 12.30.
Annie, once you start posting, it's addictive, but I agree the first steps are hard, I wondered if anyone would reply to my thread and if it was in the right place and so on, but everyone is great, I had lots of replies and help and the first meet we went to was brilliant, everyone so friendly and welcoming, hope you get posting and come to the next one.
Sue
 
Hi Lynn, many thanks for today's get together, it was my first and it wont be my last. It was good to meet friendly Birmingham people and thank you for letting me win the first raffle prize. :adoration: Carol
 
Oh Carol I am jealous!!! I was due to go but I hurt my knee (just walking to my daughter's house) and I cannot weight-bear. As a consequence I am a tad cross as you can imagine. Nice for you to win a prize on your first meet, how lucky is that?

Hopefully next time I will be in better shape..............
 
Looks like a great success well done once again Lyn. Sorry couldn't be there hopefully will make it for the next one
 
Lovely to meet you all today at the Jewellers Arms, well done Lyn, look forward to the next one.
Katie
