Thanks Ann :) it is very kind of you to invite me.

Not quite sure what is happening that weekend as it is my eldest son's birthday so I cannot say for sure yet. I didn't really take in the date when I first read the thread. Thanks again.

It's the weekend before my birthday too! I did say I would help do stuff as I used to live in York. I will make it for one day at least I think (and probably two)....... I hope...... I hope I don't have to change my mind. I can always have two parties - one at the meet and one the week after.... mmmmm..... interesting......that's a thought......

 ;D ??? ;D

Ann,
Who's organising it all this time?
You've obviously taken it upon yourself to set the ball rolling.

I also see Claire has signed her name in blood on the contract (birthday or no birthday - yer no gettin oot a this yin Claire! - Matt needs someone to buy him a drink - I'll buy you several for your birthday).

I reckon Val should do most of the running around.  After all, she's bound to be well rested after that fantastic holiday she's been rubbing in our faces telling us about.

Dave,
really looking forward to it,
reporting from Glasgow.

PS Clare might come too - eyes and hands off Matt!

Hi all

Due to popular request we are going to have a Rootschatters meeting in York Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June.

There are no race meetings this weekend so hotels should be at 'normal prices'

More details to follow but if you would like to attend please respond to this message.

For those who have never visited York, it's an amazing city with a beautiful Minster and lots to see and do.

Bookmark and watch this space for info

Ann
In June this year the Saturday/Sunday will be 20th/21st not 21st/22nd. Better check you book the correct dates.

The dates struck me as odd because I had the 27th down as the date for the following Saturday when the York FH Fair is being held at the racecourse.

I know it's dangerous, but I've been thinking ::)
Why is this on "The Lighter Side"?

A lot of folk ignore this board.

Perhaps it should be moved to "The Common Room"

I've asked the Mods to move it.
