Oh yes, St Fagans, a great place to meet! You can't get more historic than that!  ;D

St Fagans (Museum of welsh life) is ok with me too
& free entry, just £2 for car parking

Great idea

Mind you, I would be coming from Switzerland, so it might be a bit difficult. I don't get back to the UK as often as I might, so maybe this would add some impetus for me.

Me Too, Me Too, Me Too
Oooh just seen this Amy I nearly missed it!
Couldn't manage North Wales but would certainly meet Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Newport anywhere near the M4?
St.Fagans sounds good, but the Record Office would be great too, especially with someone to show us the ropes.

Another choice of meeting place would be one of the family history fairs - this is on another thread too I think. There will be a Sunday Fair at the leisure Centre in LLantrisant on 17th April 2005 and that way people could combine a fair with a meet and have a wonderful time. The Llantrisant fair is always a good one Glam FHS is usuallythere and Gwent FHS plus a few other Welsh Societies and the national Library - at least they were there last year and Gathering the jewels was theree last year, the Federation bookshop the SoG, GOONS, and some commercial firms Back to Roots etc so there would be lots to see and more people to tell about this forum

Ann,

A meet at a fair is a great idea.  And April sounds like a good time to me too.

Kazza.

I will be there wearing my Gwent FHS shirt and in charge of their stall - I always go to Llantrisant because of the good bacon Rolls they do there, after carrying all the stuff into the place and getting the stall ready the bacon rolls come as a wonderful pick me up AND they keep you going until the thing closes at 5pm :D

Hi.
Seems a good idea . Always good to put faces to names , even for wrinklies!
Cardiff is good for me but depending on time of year can travel further as I am near  M4.
Welsh seriously basic!
Cheers and Season's Greetings.
Sue in LLantrisant.
