Hi all,

I was sooo looking forward  to the Meet in Brisbane. Unfortunately I can't make it. I am up in Darwin looking after my grandson. Have fun!

Wouldn't mind getting back to Brisbane - getting a bit too hot and steamy up here. My grandson is a handful and he likes his Oma.

Goodonya Barbara!  Glad you've made contact with Stephanie - she is an absolute treasure!  A pity they are so short-staffed that day.  As you've said, it will be important to let her know how many of us there are and arrange an approximate time when we descend on the place and need to be shown around!!  ;D

I'll fit in with whatever anyone else wants in the library.  If there is a spare reader, I wouldn't mind it, since I am still trying to establish whether my ggrandparents Bentley actually came by ship or swam  ;D but there will be other things I can do if other people want the readers.  Like Karenlee, I know the setup there, so will be fairly low maintenance.

I'm still trying to find out from my mother if there is anything planned for her birthday - have asked, haven't had answer!

So am thinking maybe there isn't going to be.....

Don't worry about a reader for me even I do make it - my husband works nearby so the library is not difficult for me to get to!

Could I ask a big favour of everyone and get you to PM me with a yes, no, maybe on attendance ............ I'm getting confused with all the different replies (It's not difficult to get me confused - honest!!! )

I really need to know numbers by Monday at the latest.

There will be two readers, so I'm sure whoever wants to use them will get the chance.
