We're meeting up at the cafe just inside the Library at approx 10.30am.    No problem on time, get there when you can.

As for doing anything in particular . .. . nothing planned.  I think we're all looking to Marie and Ozlady as they've been there before and I wouldn't know where to start!!!

I get a "what's on" brochure from the SLQ - I realise this would interfere with all the socializing, but there is a building tour (free!) for 1 hour from 11am.  I suppose those who are really interested in seeing  what is in the building, however it does say that bookings are required if more than 10 people (and 2 weeks in advance),   so it might let a few out, unless numbers are kept to less than 10.   Just something to consider for those who have never been there before ......

Are we going to have anything identifying us to each other?   

Now only 2 1/2  days to go!
 :D :D :D

I tried to get us on one of those tours but this weekend they are going to be so short staffed we would be lucky to get anything.    But, having said that we may just be lucky.

You'll recognise me ............trust me ..............     ;D ;D ;D

The day Marie & I went in the tours weren't too popular - only about 5-6 folks, so anyone who wants to get on same may make it ok. We enjoyed it very much

And I'm still elected for family duty at the minute Barbara

I'll have my 15 year old son with me as we have another commitment afterwards.

I've made up a nametag with some of the main names I'm searching as well as a photo (see attached).
That should help you recognise me.
GOLDSWORTHY / TREMAYNE & variations / UREN & variations / BOWDEN  / SIRL in Cornwall
HOOPER in London
FRIEZER / FRIESER in England, Indonesia and Netherlands
TWIST in Lancashire
SEARLE in Dorset
JAMIESON / RENNIE or RANIE / EDMONDSON / CAMERON in Scotland
DOWNING / McKEOWN / MILLS / HANES and WYLIE in Ireland
McKEOWN in NY and Boston / RAPSEY in New Zealand
and many many more.  These are just the main ones
