Okay ladies and germs,

After consultation with Ann Baker we have decided on the following:


1.  All those attending the meet can they let Anne know for definite by 14th September
2.  Anyone wishing to go on City of Dead Tour (which takes in Covenanters Graveyard/Greyfriars Kirkyard) please also say by then.  If undecided I will need to know for certain by 8th October so I can book it and pay for it at the time if payment is needed (I'll trust you to pay me back on the night lol)
3.  Nearly forgot ....... those wishing to go to Geneology Centre, can they let Ann know ASAP as she needs to let the gentleman who has kindly offered this know.

Hi,
Managed to sort things out so I can combine my trip with a visit to the Scottish Local History Forum Conference in Perth on Friday 26th.

I am staying with family on the south side of the city so will not require an hotel room, and I would like to do the City of the Dead tour. I would also like to go the Soc of Genealogists - I am a member, but there is always something new to learn.

Are we all going to be wearing red carnations to recognise each other? ;D ;D

As I already know what Ann looks like (series of mutterings in scotlands people over two days for my sins lol) I'm fine ....... but I know have a mental image of Ann with a sandwich board saying I'M ANN BAKER on it lol

And on that note, time for me to head to bed :p
