Hello Sybil/ Dave.

Have read a few of your posts, now that the grandkids heve gone back home.
I have read a few mentions of a "badge". Do we need abadge, to download? or is the onus on us to show/wear some means of description, ie,  a badge/label, saying RC/ RootsChat.?

Gail - my OH would rather do the dishes or do the ironing than talk about Family History so I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll do exactly that when I'm out enjoying myself! (Not that I think he'll actually do either!)

Still, I'm hoping if I ask him nicely, he'll chauffeur me back and forth - 'specially on the Saturday so I might be able to have a wee drinky poo. 

Poll - don't worry - I've no doubt you'll be sick looking at photos by the time it's all over!

I'm looking forward to seeing lots of them  Anne ... You were very kind to me and OH last year driving us all over Glasgow looking for our hotel when my ol' legs gave way ... You'll never know how grateful I was  ...thanks again.  If you see any  sculptures by James Pittendrigh Macgillivray , one of the Glasgow Boys, who was my friend's gggrandfather do get a pic if possible please anyone  . I saw two works in the Kelvingrove Gallery but there may be others . I think he did the one of Robbie Burns in Edinburgh... My friend had no interest at all in family history till he found out about this famous rellie  !!!! lucky  devil ! HAVE FUN ...
