Guest Noodle Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi, great if you can make it - hope so. We will be congregating in the children's play area. 'gozzo', 'rob and mel' have their pictures on their avatar (small but can be recognized!). I was not sure what to do about recognition so the only thing I could come up with, which was not too odd, was and A4 sized card with PIO on it, on the a table. Great to see you there. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
