Cant believe that its 2years since we had that great meeting in Edinburgh.

Lovely photo glass. Could you label it for us please or just say who everyone is? Thanks.

Just in case Glass doesn't see this and get back to you, Greenfinch -
(L-R) thatbags, glassortwo, gillybob, moomin, and Galen.
Not sure whose hands were in the picture, but they could have been janeainsworth's (?)

It was a lovely day. Love our meet ups! smile

moomin Tue 01-Dec-15 17:40:58

Indeed glass it doesn't seem that long ago does it

Pittcity Tue 01-Dec-15 18:16:35

Here's one with more of us in it.

Greenfinch Tue 01-Dec-15 18:24:53

Thanks Marelli.Good to know who everyone is.

janeainsworth Tue 01-Dec-15 18:47:18

They were gillieb's hands I think marelli - I took the photo!

Yes it was a lovely day - thnk you again Elegran. smile

Marelli Tue 01-Dec-15 18:59:02

About the same time we discussed having a North West big meet up but sadly it never happened. Maybe next year !

loopylou Wed 02-Dec-15 07:48:48

How lovely!
I wish I could get to a southwest meet up but, like many others, I'm still working so it's difficult.
Once I'm retired (only another 3 1/2 years I hope) hopefully that'll change!

Pittcity Wed 02-Dec-15 08:25:44

loopylou and other workers, Elegran organised a whole Sunday with speakers, singing and lunch for the meetup in question.
No reason why you can't organise something when you are not at work. What about an evening out or Sunday lunch?

Thanks marelli first chance I have had to pop back. It was a great day thanks to elegrans hard work and planning.

Wow!!

Elegran Sat 05-Dec-15 11:37:52

Do you fancy a repeat of that? Perhaps not in December - organising that could be hair-raising!

(Thinks - am I mad? Well at least I wouldn't have a dislocated shoulder this time)

Elegran Sat 05-Dec-15 11:38:38

It was 20 of us, wasn't it?

Pittcity Sat 05-Dec-15 11:46:54

That would be fabulous Elegran.
Could we hire you out as a GN event organiser in other parts of the country?

Elegran Sat 05-Dec-15 11:55:41

Pittcity you only saw what went right, not all the things that didn't!

Marmight Sat 05-Dec-15 12:25:25

How about April? The Bridge may be open by then!! - and on a selfish note, I could come too......... wink

Elegran Sat 05-Dec-15 12:26:14

A spring spectacular!

janeainsworth Sat 05-Dec-15 12:32:47

April would be good for me too Elegran smile

ffinnochio Sat 05-Dec-15 13:05:23

April would give me plenty of saving up time for my travel pot. smile

Elegran Sat 05-Dec-15 13:12:39

That is four of us signed up in a couple of hours. So do you think it worth thinking seriously about it and starting a new thread with a clear heading to see how many would be interested?

Elegran Sat 05-Dec-15 13:13:29

Five if Pittcity can come in April.

Marmight Sat 05-Dec-15 13:21:53

Go for it Ele ......tchwink

Galen Sat 05-Dec-15 13:54:12

I might be able to make it. I'd stay at the Mercure I think, the place we stayed although reasonable didn't have disabled facilities so I had to strip wash rather than shower.
( you all wouldn't need to bring clothes pegs for your noses then!)
