I'm making better progress on my assignment than I expected so there is a small chance that I might be able to join you.........however I won't know until Friday because I'm really busy at work and will then have two crazy days at a conference in Birmingham, with an evening class in Northampton on Thursday night immediately after the Birmingham conference finishing. I may be shattered on Friday which is the day that I will ideally finish my assignment........but will let you know on Friday if I can make it to Birmingham on Saturday:D

Hope you can make it Amanda, I would love to meet you 🙂 Good luck with the conference and the assignment 🙂
 
Thanks Alan I would love to meet you too🙂
 
I like the idea of the scenic tour! Should be there - will confirm later in the week

Thanks Northy - yes mostly good things such as the cardmaking, getting work done on the house - new doors and windows and all the usual stuff of life! Will be good to see you too. 🙂

Good job an' all Karen - I can't possibly do that Project without you! I was thinking I'd have to PM you or have a riffle and write! LOL

Lol - sorry to have got you worried!! I see that AJ is now saying she may come along since you reminded her of the secret mission!!
 
Karen you know me too well.......I have to be completely honest that mention of the secret mission did spur me on to spend extra time on my assignment on Sunday to try to finish it:D
 
I wonder which is more risky, meeting you lot or the rides at Drayton Manor?
 
Wondering what the secret mission is! 🙂 I know - you're all working on your Diabetes Fairy costumes, and I'm going to have to judge them...:D
 
Hi All,

Barring lightning strikes, earthquakes or other unplanned catasrophes, I'll be there with 'er indoors.
Looking forward to having a pre-birthday drink with you all - anniversary of my birth on the 18th!
Cheers,
Chris.
 
I'll be there. Arrive at New Street 10.27

I'm up for a coffee and/or walkabout before Penny Black!

Richard
 
Hi all, I might try to meet up with you WHSmith people! I don't know where I'm going either, although I've been to Birmingham many times, my knowledge is limited to the Bull Ring shopping centre and the Sea life centre! Would be good to meet up with people at the station and walk to the pub together. I'm happy to get there at any time, can always grab a cup of tea with anyone who is going to be early 🙂
 
Natalie - Brightontez will arrive at around 11am and we're getting there at half past. You're very welcome to join us 🙂

Excellent Chris and Richard! I look forward to meeting you (Richard for the first time! 🙂)
 
Good news I feel happy enough to leave my assignment and join you on Saturday.Bad news (and confession) I'm really, really nervous about walking into a pub on my own and meeting people for the first time. Also due to my eye problems I'm not very good at recognising people from a distance which can be rather embarrassing. Please could someone PM me their mobile number in case I can't find You??? I am really looking forward to meeting you all............and I'm really intrigued by Flutterby and Trophywrench's plans and it will be great to meet you Alan after all this time🙂
 
May I humbly recommend, as a newbie last year that, somebody keep a watch out for shy newbies as I was at Penny Blacks for a good 30 min before I picked up courage to say hi.

It's hard to spot new people as often noone knows what you look like. I can guarantee anyone who has organised an event like this will spend the whole time looking for people who *might* be in the venue for the meet, but it can be really hard to tell - and you can easily end up accosting people who are just having a drink in their local if you are not careful!

Wish I could make it but got to work. Don't be shy anyone, just walk up and say hi, someone - probably Alan - will introduce everyone to you!
