Adding my thanks to Lyn for organising and Wendy for raffling. As Lynne said the company was smashing and thanks to Rosie for the spread.
BTW, thanks also to Bernie for putting a filter on his lens for his 5th pic on post 18. Without it there would have been a huge flare of light off that white-haired bloke's head with his back to the camera.
 
Thanks to Lyn and Wendy for all their hard work, making my first time at a meet up a wonderful afternoon. And thank you to all the members for making me and maggie feel really at home, it was a pleasure to have met you all. Also thanks to Shera, Wendy for information and offers of help regarding the forum. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope to see you all again soon, formula t
 
Fantastic afternoon again meeting old friends and new.
Thanks to Jim for the refresment. :encouragement: (You need a bigger tab :friendly_wink:)
Thank you Lyn and Wendy for organising the raffle, great total.
And thank you everyone else for being such great company, roll on the next one.

Looks like everyone had a good time. Lovely set of photos.
I'm really peeved off that I couldn't make it. 6.oclock they decided to let us go from work, a 12 hour shift, nearly killed me but they are paying us for Sunday and we don't have to go in and a extra day's holiday to boot.

I had to be careful on the steps Lyn, Templer and Dave M had their cameras ready in case I did a Frothy.
 
Well done Lyn and Wendy. Glad I was able to get there even though it was only for a short while. You all looked like you were having a good time.
I met Pollypops but sadly didn't have time to meet any of the other new faces. Next time eh?
Well done!
Merry Xmas

Chocks
 
Smashing photos of you all, and nice to meet you also lyn . I am sure our paths have got to have crossed over the years. I will still keep trying for photos of paddington st and also for my end of clifford st.

If it's any consolation Frothy I fell UP it on the way in:chargrined: Just as I said to Linda there's Frothy's step.
 
Thanks for posting the pictures - it looks as if you all had a great time. I am so disappointed that I couldn't be there to see my friends and meet new ones. Well done to Shera for winning Erics lovely painting.
 
You're quite welcome to trip up my step anytime Bernie. Now you need to work on your falling down it style!
 
What a great time you all seem to have had; not a miserable face to be seen. Some of us were there 'in spirit', so as to speak, and can only wish we could have been there.
