Well, once again forgot my camera, so no pics from me, but I notice members where all clicking away merrily so there should be plenty of pics. I had a great time, the pub was heaving these meets are getting more and more popular, and why not. Its good to put names to faces and every body was so friendly and all enjoying themselves - I know I did. Eric

Re: Bhf christmas meet 2012

Never mind Cookie. Looking forward to seeing pics of BHF Christmas get together later on. Lots of whoops coming from
my son's area of the house in the early am today Why? Aston Villa beats Liverpool 3-1. All is well for the moment.
 
Re: Bhf christmas meet 2012

Had a great time, will post the very few pics I took later, too busy to click and forgot to pick up camera going between the two rooms, lovely to meet everyone and put more names to faces.
And David, it wasn't such a bad result in the end!!!!

Re: Bhf christmas meet 2012

Another great meet didn't get round everyone but lovely to see everyone. Thanks Lyn for organising it...nearly forgot the food was excellent xx
 
Re: Bhf christmas meet 2012

Thank you to Wendy & Lynne for the Jeweller's Arms Meeting. I'm just sorry that I couldn't stay longer. One consequence of aging is all the reunions that occur at Xmas! Likewise my ex "Double Zero" era clothing wouldn't fit, it had shrunk in the wardrobe after 45 years! So I used my 1978 'Kings of B'ham Superbike Centre' stuff.
Anyway, it was nice to meet so many and to put names to faces.

Thanks again.

Peter Rotherham.

Another great day! was so good to see everyone again and meet some new faces, a great turn out, i think we took over the place lol thanks so much everyone and especially postie, thanks for the drink from The real Claire!!! and family lol lol
 
We had a great time only sorry we did not get round to see everyone. I did try to read the names on badges but worried that I may get kicked out. Perhaps the ladies could consider wearing them on their hats next time?

Big thanks must go to Lyn and her Elves err sorry Helpers for all the arrangements and the raffle and to Jim without whom we would not have been meeting.
 
Bob and I had a great time. There were soooo many people there, but I did get to talk to quite a few. The icing on the cake was winning another of Erics great paintings! :star:
Thanks to everyone for making it such an enjoyable afternoon. :unconscious:
 
And I forgot to say thanks Postie , mom is cross that she forgot to thank you as well, I said I'd blame it on a senior moment lol!!!!
Bernie, never mind getting kicked out for looking at badges, the "elves" will get you lol!!!!!!
And Key Hill Brian, better luck next time with the raffle - we will bring a marker pen and set of crayons so you can alter the number or colour of the ticket!!!
Also a big big thanks to Lyn who didn't stop all afternoon and works so hard to organise the meet-ups :star::star::star:

friendly service.

Thanks to you all for a fantastic day. Thanks lynn and all the organisers of this day. Thanks postie for the drinks and the comedy routine with the raffle. thanks to the management and staff of the jewlers. above all to all the members who made the day for Lin, myself, Ron Lins brother and Claire, I really learnt something today the pride of being a Brummy thank you all.

I raise my glass to all who can no longer make these meets old and new friends God bless you all.

Tiny you will give Lyn heart failure asking for another one next week - mind you, its not a bad idea!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, they are always good fun and a chance to meet new people!
Sue
 
I forgot to say thank you Tiny for the lovely gift. I don't know how you remembered I collect vintage and antique brooches. I will treasure the brooch and earing's as I know they came from your family.

It was lovely to see Maureen our lovely late Mike G's wife thanks to their daughter for bringing her. xx
 
Oh dear, I did'nt realise Maureen was there, I would have gone over and had a chat with her,sorry I missed her. I must say it was a good day though, and a big thanks to annie56 for letting my wife have her raffle prize, she really does appreciate it. Again, a good day and thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it the success it undoubtably was. Merry xmas to you all.

I would like it to be known that, because I had to leave early, i handed my tickets to Vicki, they did not win, but Vickis did and she chose the Canadian whisky, to give to me on our next meet, just because I said that is the prize I would select, what a kind act. Thank you Vicki. Eric
