I was sorting a few papers out yesterday and a writing pad sheet fluttered to the floor and on it it said just ‘December 2013’
and underneath that was a list of names, that I soon realised were GN posters. It was probably not long after I had joined GN and maybe me trying to remember names but I thought some old timers may be interested to have a look and see who they recognise,
It might set some memories off

I recognise almost all of them and have met at least four of them at meetups(Penstemmon, Dustyangel, Soutra( under a different name! ) and Annodomini). Btw it is FloweroftheWEST). Thanks for this post BlueBelle. It brought back happy memories.

I remember a few of those names, particulary Jingles, whose posts were quite amusing, Galen sent me a Pm after one of my first posts after joining GN, warning me not to pick on a friend poster of hers... i didnt think i had ! Put me of GN for awhile.

Waves to seasider 🌞
I enjoyed meeting up with you, annodomini, wi64 and others in the early days.
I joined gransnet after I retired and despite occasionally feeling fed up with what I see as goady comments, I’ve remained. I miss some of our earlier posters. Greatnan stands out as an interesting poster and I remember mumsnet joining us in the search for her. RIP greatnan, phoenix, jingle and others

I recognise most of them. Some names change over time of course. I've met a few of them at meet ups and the Edinburgh Gransnet conference.

I also remember most of the names but have not met any on that list in real life.
