Reading on another thread a few of us seem to have the same worry, how do we let our friends on Gransnet know of our demise, does anyone have any good ideas on how to get around this?

Don't know what IC means, jeni confused! And of course, there are a LOT down in the south! smile

Could I come please. I live just south of Perth. I don't comment too much, although I often type stuff, reread it then wipe it!!
I love Gransnet. Oh I have Skype but it isn't too good on my laptop.

iC in charge. In other words
Organise!.
I'll help, but because I still work, don't have enough time to do it!

What we need to do is
1 open a new thread where all interested can sign
2 establish where everyone lives
3 Get GNHQ involved
4 decide what sort of meeting we want (just a lunch, a weekend, lectures?)

How about Oxfordshire, where do you count that as? (I never can tell what forecast to look at!)

It all sounds great. I suppose we've had a go at something similar to a Skype conference with the Christmas carol. I seem to remember tech telling us at the time that Skype had an upper limit of about 25 people, but that might be OK... depends how many people want to be involved. If the preference is to meet up offline we'd love to be involved. We'll be watching tomorrow's thread (of course) and we'll do everything we possibly can to help.

Thanks, Geraldine! Be prepared for lots of daft questions and requests coming your way! grin

What we need is for Tech to sort out a map with locations pinpointed where everyone lives, then we could see....a bit like when you are looking for somewhere to stay on hotel sites.

Maybe some localised meetings, to start off with? I think a HUGE meeting would overwhelm some members - me included!

Getting back to the OP, I'm not planning to fall off for ages yet. Took my blood pressure this morning 115/58!

I'm about 40 miles away from Oxfordshire.

I thought we'd lost the OP!
I want to say, re relatives letting people know, that I copied the two poems from another thread, thinking that they could be a message....and then added my username and password for Gransnet - I will add others when I think of them - printed them and they are in my secret drawer, with my will and other things.
Only my daughter and my executor know where it is.

I'm on the rail line to London, but it's gone expensive.....
