Smile Back from the York meet!

Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Karen for organising the York meet.

Didnt know what to expect, but what a great bunch of people we met! Couldn't believe how fast the time flew, chatting and getting to know everyone. Really sorry we missed out saying hello to a few of you.

Im sure the guys who stopped over last night are still in bed after the heavy night of (more)drinking they were planning as we left - hope you all had a great time! Look forward to seeing the photos!

Will catch up with you all on here again soon, i hope.

Jill & Mick

(posted elsewhere but I'll stick it in here too as you've gone to the trouble of starting a new thread)

What a great doo :)

A pleasure to meet some of you yesterday (not that it wasn't a pleasure to meet others... it's just that we didn't get time to meet everybody... you know what I mean... I'm just rambling now, lol)

I made the mistake of turning up and not remembering my PIO login name, and went on to introduced myself with a login name I use on some other forums (Fat Tony) so no wonder some blank looks, lol

Thanks one and all for making it a lovely evening, and especially Karen for going to the bother of organising it, and Steve for that very moving speech .

I hope there aren't too many bad hangovers this morning.

Seems to have been a few of us from the Leeds/York area so maybe we can meet up every now and again?

Thanks again,
Tony (stickman) and Lou (loufy)

Just to echo these sentiments - it was brill to meet people with the same aims and the whole night was a really good laugh. Dan and I really enjoyed it. Will look forward to the next one!
