Hi,I got a message from Cliff asking where we all are since the reunion as we seem to have gone a bit quiet,I told him that some of us have gone away and some are entertaining friends from overseas and the rest are just..well..resting
Andy called to let me know that his PC crashed,and that is why he has'nt been on line lately and he is hoping to get it fixed this week.
There seems to have been a few people not sure of when the reunion was,dont know why it was clearly written on every thing we printed out.
Next time though we will not inform the council of our intentions,as I reckon we paid money for nothing there!!
I think the next one should be a dress up,IF YOU ARE ALL GAME that is..so lets have some opinions on that,I was thinking on a 60s theme!

Hey Storm Four I am still here a lot of good things have come out of the Andy Renuion but dressing up in 60's clothing is not going to happen!
We have enough trouble remembering who we are why bother to disguise ourselves?
What was the first thing you remember when you arrived in Horse-Trailer?
I mean apart from wondering why people would want to eat ink?

Fed-Inkum!

Tight leggings and long, long jumpers.....................in now too, so that's very do-able, AND that will hide a lot I'd rather keep hidden. hehe.

Hi Everybody Finally got my pc working after major crash problems, lucky I had just set up an account with Norton and backed up all my files on Monday (with them) and Wednesday pc went kaboom. Great to see all the pics and yes Carole I think paying council was a waste, so we wont be doing that again, oh and by the way Jimmy goes around schools flogging them stationary supplies so has probably got ink on the brain lol.

When do you plan the next reunion? my holidays are booked up for this year and my holiday bank balance will be nil come end of July. Need to do plenty of saving, be good if Cliff could get over too.

Hi Eileen
Some of the ladies on the day of the reunion spoke about next year for the next big reunion and it was suggested that sometime in Feb 2011 would be better as the weather would be more favourable and people would not just have gone through a break at Easter time when there all worn out.lol. I guess some are already planning a get together before then anyway. It would be great if Cliff came to.
Cheers Andy

Well Eileen start saving we are planning another bash early next year,so maybe March is the popular choice as there is not much happening around the place then and we would still be in the nice weather without it being too hot.The weather for this reunion was a tad chilly and being on the beach front it was really windy,but it was great just the same,although I think next time we should have it on this side of the Westgate bridge Very Happy

I hate that bloody thing..I am so proud of myself though I drove over it twice that day,and then on Monday took Mary and Alan to the airport,and I had never actually driven there before had always been a passenger and as such took absolutely no notice of where I was going,but with the help of a very nice lady inside my TomTom I managed it no probs Mr. Green

Sorry Andy I posted this before I read your post:

I reckon Cherry Lake might be a goer.
March is better for me as well, as I'm going to a big Dr.Who convention in February. That's my worst asthma month nowadays, so I'm fleeing the country, it's better than choking.
