I wish you all a very enjoyable get-together tomorrow. It would have been a pleasure to meet you - some other time perhaps.
Regards from Marseilles, Chris.

Please don't let me wander round the pub looking lost on my own for too long! Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.

A great opportunity to get together for a chat, without (dare I say it?!) the distraction of watching out for butterflies. Just wanted to be the first to say thank you to Susie for organising this and hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did.

My thanks to everyone who attended today. I think we had the most ever attendees and the informal set up seemed to work well. My only disappointment was that I didn't get to speak to everyone.

It was nice to meet you too, Jo, and to learn where your forum name comes from.

I must add there is no need for anyone to thank me regarding organisation this year as I really did do the minimum! :)

I'm very glad I managed to make it this year - very good to be able to put faces to the webnames! And, even though you say you did the minimum, Susie, these events only happen because of individual initiative - I appreciate that.

Foregoing a formal dining experience turned out to be a much better arrangement this year, so thanks go to Susie for not booking one :D. Great to see such a good turnout with lots of familiar faces and a few new ones to chat to.

A thoroughly great afternoon as always, though the time flew by too quickly. A big thank you for Susie for making it happen :D .

Also a thank you to Marc for the lift saving me and Dave a half hour walk (stagger in my case :oops: ) back to the station 8) .

Looking forward to next year :)

Just caught up with everything after a fantastic day yesterday so a belated thank you to Susie for the organisation and/or the impetus for the Social to happen. Over too quickly though so next years date is already in the diary :D

Although this season isn't over yet my thoughts have been moving on and I wonder if anyone is interested in meeting up again this winter?

Excellent. That sounds like a plan. I'll start a new thread in due course. :)
