Jenny is still around, she was on here a couple of weeks back (Jenny is/was Mommylonglegs)).

Donna came back and then left again.

Viv in Herts is still on here occasionally.

I remember Diane being Pink when all the fundraising was going on for Gaynor.

I also remember a Jenny and a Viv.

What ever happened to Donna (aka Strump at one time). I am not sure if she went off the boards after her mum died.

Diane left when she changed jobs if I remember rightly she had also changed names and can't for the life of me remember what she changed to, was it Pink? Yes I think that was one of her name changes. Met her in Bristol, great fun she was. Jan and Rick were there too and Mags, Gwynne, Mandy, Bev was at one of the Bristol ones (there were two). Ooh several others whose names I can't think of right now.

I vaguely remember that one, but not why it was cancelled. We did have two Webbs meets. At one time Daphne was unable to attend because of a migrain. (Not heard from her for ages although Jude and I did meet up with her in Malvern once). Yes Colin did have health problems, I think he got over them though a lot was stress I think because, surprise surprise he had problems on his new site with WUMS.

Hello Kathleen.

I remember that! I can't remember why it didn't go ahead though. It was about the time I had a few health problems so whether that had anything to do with it.

Coffee it is. Let me know when you are in the area :-D

Hello Jacky - ours was the meeting that never was!! It was a few years ago now, Jude and I think Daphne were to meet us at Webb's. You were going to pick me up from my daughter's house in Solihull - but sadly it never happened for various reasons - can't remember exactly why.
I was in touch with Colin until a couple of years ago, he was having some health problems and gradually lost contact.
Next time I visit my daughter I will contact you and maybe we could meet for a coffee - better late than never !!!

I had just remembered Gaynor Bear when I read your message Gwynne :-D

Jude...sorry. I thought you were at both!

There was also Diane who was a good friend of Gaynor and her family. What happened to the photo pages as there were picturs of the Gaynor relay and London meet on there?

Guinevere

Guinevere Report 6 Feb 2012 12:39

It was Jacky who passed Gaynor Bear on to me in Birmingham, Bob.

Then I passed her on to Claire in Cov.

Long time ago now.

Jackie, couple who met and married .... do you mean Jan and Rick? She does occasionally come on here.

Does anyone remember the meet in London with Gaynor and the limo? Grandpa Jim, Donna, Jude, Linda Pace, a couple who met on GR and later married, Helen from Kent and Diane to name but a few.

AnninGlos Report 5 Feb 2012 17:36

Jackie, that's about right. I did have some contact with Colin after he left GR. I wonder if he is still on the same e mail address, I might have it somewhere, I'll have to look. :-)

Wasn't it Christmas at Webbs? I think December 2003. I think London was about 2004 or 2005. I haven't heard of Colin for years. I don't know if he is still connected with another site. I had read about Jim during one of the times I popped on the boards.

AnninGlos

AnninGlos Report 5 Feb 2012 16:47

gosh yes, can't remember when it was now but hardly anyone on here now who went and poor Jim is no longer with us bless him. Don't know how Colin is these days either. Think it is just Jude and I who went. Must have been 8 or 9 years ago now.
