GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
We're a lovely looking crowd aren't we? :unconscious::unconscious:
I'm just trying to remember what is was Jim (Postie) was telling me (#90 second pic) that made me look so shocked - think it was that they'd run out of food:fatigue:
Thanks for posting the pics.... photos of me are always useful for keeping flies off the screen.

This was my first meet-up and it was, apart from being a most enjoyable social event, an opportunity to put a face to those many members whose postings I have
been entertained, intrigued and informed by. I was accompanied by my wife Maureen (the 'mo' in my user name) who rather indifferently agreed to come along as
she has no great interest in history - diggin' up of old bones as she describes it - so it is a testament to the warm welcome and the fun we had that she is now eagerly
looking forward to the next meeting. It is also a testament to the good nature and the friendliness of the members that my wife and I were not bodily ejected from the 'Jeweller's' after not
only winning one prize on the raffle but FIVE! Our embarressment allowed us to keep only one of these prizes however, and that was the splendid watercolour painting of the 'Jeweller's Arms'
painted and donated by Mr Eric Cook. The painting means such a lot to us as the Pub has many memories to our whole family going back thirty and more years to us all being employed in
the Quarter at one time or another. So, thanks to all, and especially to Postie and Astoness, for a memorable afternoon.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I won the little black and white drawing but am not sure exactly where it is. I know someone told me it was the cathedral, which I presume was St Philips, but its the little houses in front of it I need to know the address. Many thanks. Carol
