Met up with CTNana today

Hi All,

Not sure if this counts but it maybe the first meeting of forum members for this forum. Met up with CTNana today and she has agreed to become a county coordinator for the Commonwealth Roll of Honour Project, in fact she is going to look after 4 counties for me. Yippeeee.
If you get a chance, please do meet up with her, she's certainly a lovely lady. If anyone else wants to meet up i'll do my best to either get to you or meet you halfway.

Take care all
Mike (Sniper)

Well done CTNana.

That's four counties, game set & match.

Hi All
It was a real pleasure to meet with Mike and his wife yesterday. I look forward to being able to see some of the rest of you face to face too (promise I won't hug you Kitty).

The infamous Satnav has come into its own and my husband and I have both enjoyed going out for the day to get photos for Geoff and Mike. Our kids & grandchildren are pleased too because it means we are not squandering their inheritance (if the government doesn't take it all first!!).

So glad the site is taking off for you guys.

Best wishes
CTNana

This is as close as you will get to my ugly puss for a while so when you meet you will have to put a spare Latte on the table. I have added the girls because they said there is no way I would be going without them!

Sad when your money comes before their enjoyment!

Slowly but surely it is providing another niche for people to learn.
