Meet Up At The Bull 3rd February 2018

A very enjoyable meet up. Great to chat with lots of both old and new members. I have an Eric (water colour) now too of a canal theme, how do you beat that.
 
Did not top up camera battery, and maybe that is why the flash did not seem to work properly. But here are some from me.

Nice to meet you all and see you in June.

Oh dear Lyn - do take care. Your health is more important than coming to meets -although you were missed!! There is always a next time. Looks as if the date is already fixed. Take care x
 
ahh bless you janice....was seeking medical advise again this morning as i was not happy..not much if any improvement in 3 days..seems the infection is quite severe so i must continue with the antibiotics and be patient....not one of my stronger points:D i have noted the 23rd of june in the diary...weather should be a bit better as well

lyn x
 
It was a success and you now know when the next one is, so make sure you put it on your calendar
 
Hi all

Yes Lyn, I had good luck winning an Eric!

Eric, the painting is on the wall in my hall. I have taken some plates and another painting down so as not to take the shine off your painting. It meant a polly filling job and now I need to re-paint a feature wall, but well worth it. Thank you!
 
Get well soon Lyn, I wanted to meet you too, so I could put a face to the two mischiefs I might have to bail out having now met Lady P.;)
(Reference to the Vine thread.)
Perhaps we will meet up in June x. :)
 
Hi Everyone, really good to see everyone on Saturday. Sorry for the delay - I'm having a few, what you might call, 'technical issues' at the moment.
Morturn, so glad you won an 'Eric' at last. I seem to remember you showed an interest in this picture at the very beginning of this thread. Well done!
Thanks Vicki for helping on Saturday. We had lots of prizes and there was a real buzz about the meet. Roll on June, I will put us both on your new thread. Well done for volunteering too.
My photos aren't very clear but I'll post them anyway. At least I remembered to hold the phone up the right way Viv! Scrub that Viv, I've just looked at my first effort - Elmdon Boy and Mike and they're sideways....Perhaps someone could have a go at righting them for me. Second one of Janice and Dave but sideways again. Please view lying down!
Third one of Vicki and Lynne tucking in and Chris M and Brian. More to hopefully follow.
