I think Guildford was a one off Janice, at the time (2003), it was a central point for those members who wanted to meet up...even Steven Pankhurst and Anthony Adolph and some of the Genes Team came.

You could always put a thread up asking if anyone is interested, and book a venue if you get enough people.

I forget now where we met in 2003, but it was a pub/restaurant.

Hello all - any further meets planned for Guildford?
As you can see I'm Surrey/Hants/Berkshire borders!
Have been on boards since last summer. Jx

Got to agree, never really had expectations of anyone, but you do sort of form a mental image of how they look!

I know the first time I met people (the Guildford meet like Dee) so many people commented on my accent..............................they expected me to have an Irish one but unfortunately I dont have one!!

love T.x

I've met loads of people at London meets and was at the very first meet held in Guildford.

Everyone I have met has been lovely. Including BC!!

Everyone I have met from here has been lovely. I am really looking forward to meeting some more of you lovely people this year.

I have met quite a few of both past members and present members of gR and have not yet met anyone I have not liked. People don't always look as I imagined of course.

Do you think you tend to imagine people as looking like people you already know or have known with the same name as the board name? e.g. I used to work with a Daff, so my mental picture is of her really. I can't explain but I know what I mean.

well so far I have met Daff, Jude, Star and Puss and Specky - all fabulous people - I expected Puss to be a little old lady!!! How very wrong I was - such a pretty girl and Specky a delight. Star rather shy and so so sweet. Jude as I expected, very down to earth and immediately likeable as was husband and sister. Daff - well what can I say - mad!!!!

in the spring Dutch, why wait so long

Never been disappointed by anyone I've met off these boards.

Like Daff they didn't always match the mental image I had of them but personality and friendlyness was more than comes across on the boards.

(hope that last para makes sense - I know what I mean)

T.O.R. ;o))

lol Dave... not sure, but hubby is driving so we should be ok.... *points to left* it's over there, somewhere.... higher up than Luton and lower down than Leicester, lol

Love

Dx

and you BC nice lady remember when you put Dan up hope to meet you soon, come up to Manchester anytime,
Dx

*blushes*

Thank you, Jude and Mwah!! To you too, Dave.... but you should see me when I am in a temper, lol!!

It is my ambition to meet as many people as possible.... it really is easier when you have spoken on the phone or met someone in person... you can imagine the inflections in their voice and this makes it less likely that you will mis-interpret whatis being written on the boards.

I'd love to meet you too, Dave... are you going to Peterborough?

BC.... another person I would love to meet, and the bailey's is all yours... don't like it, I'll bring me bottle of red, lol!

love

Daff xxx

You were one of the first people who "talked" to me on here, Dave. Look forward to meeting you too:-) BC XX
