Day of meet and greet for new members

20/06/2011 08:19
by UJ Ultreia (Jo & Alan)

A couple of us have come up with the idea of an easy day walking for new members and a chance to meet some of the welcoming older members. We are looking at a walk around Delemere Forest and we would like some idea of who would be interested.

milvus 12/05/2011 20:28

Maybe we ought to leave the 22nd then as I don't want to be in the woods on my own!!!

The Mind is Willing 12/05/2011 12:56

Thank goodness for that andydav I thought I was loosing it a lot faster than normal lol! Not sure I can do 22nd either - sorry

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 11/05/2011 17:35

Glad a date is sorted. I'm sure after the responce this will be a regular event so if people can't make this, others will be arranged.
Thanks Liz. Everyone enjoy !!

Wiggy 11/05/2011 15:45

nice to see a date has been sorted enjoy!!!!! but like i said im working the next 3 week ends so if the next meet is after that or mid week oe evening i will see ya's there

The Mind is Willing 10/05/2011 22:11

Oh andydav, did you change your name or did I just get it wrong?!

milvus 10/05/2011 22:00

What about Sunday the 22nd? It can be a fairly late start at Delemere Forrest for 12.00 as we have the whole afternoon and evening before it gets dark. What does everyone think? I could put it on the invitations?
P.S Good luck Jo. See you when you get back!

Wiggy 10/05/2011 20:17

still no one has braved the task of setting a date though? ? ? are we waiting for JO to get back or is some one going to arrange a meet? i would but it looks like most people are free week ends and im working the next few no one appears to be free mid week so il have to wait for next free week end <img src='theme/emoticon_unhappy.png' />

The Mind is Willing 10/05/2011 16:52

hello andyhandy welcome to the site. At last another newbie to take a risk! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

The Mind is Willing 09/05/2011 11:15

I can't believe it's come around so fast! I remember when you mentioned it at Dave's beginning December. And I would just like to add it's been a pleasure meeting all those I have met since then and a big thanks to PaddyJ for encouraging me to make that first meet

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 08/05/2011 19:14

Cheers my dear. See you when I get back and if no one has arranged this meet and greet before I get back, then I will set a date. <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

The Mind is Willing 08/05/2011 18:24

But will he look as good as you Jopo - I don't think so! <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />Have fun in China but don't get too many blisters! I can think of better souvenirs to bring home <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 08/05/2011 16:51

don't gloat too much Snicks it only feels like yesterday I was 41 and thinking 50 was old. Yes you will soon be there yourself. <img src='theme/emoticon_tongue.png' />

M G 08/05/2011 13:08

Hey Snickers, we may be old to you, but we are young at heart, n very fit......can you say the same ?????>:

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 08/05/2011 10:51

No we don't we get tougher like chickens. <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' /><img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 07/05/2011 08:06

Be very careful Snicks with the old. <img src='theme/emoticon_evilgrin.png' />

ali-bach 05/05/2011 23:34

FL you have never done a walk let alone repeated yourself <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' /> You coming to Edale?

Wiggy 05/05/2011 22:20

does it have to be a week end or is any body free mid week too???

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 05/05/2011 21:20

Told you Rita and Dave is old hat at this. <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

davem 05/05/2011 20:51

sounds good jo. Let me know the dates and if I have'nt got the sproggs I'll be there.

davem 05/05/2011 20:51

sounds good jo. Let me know the dates and if I have'nt got the sproggs I'll be there.

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 05/05/2011 18:52

I would just like to say to new memebers as I did to a recent member we have just met. Even though on the forum it sounds like we all know each other so well, there are some who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. There are a number of us that have only met each other once or twice. But once you have met this crazy, lovely bunch you will be hooked. So come on FL less talk and more walk. <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

The Mind is Willing 05/05/2011 14:31

There's lots of things you haven't done I'm sure FL like joining us on a walk!! And before you pout, I'm not getting at you - you just left yourself wide open for that one <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Forever lost 04/05/2011 20:26

I've never done it<img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' />

Forever lost 04/05/2011 20:25

I've never done it <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Wiggy 04/05/2011 19:52

there does not appear to be any way to delet but like jo said weve all done it <img src='theme/emoticon_smile.png' />

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 04/05/2011 19:08

Don't worry Rita it happens to us all. You will get used to repeating yourself to this lot. <img src='theme/emoticon_grin.png' />

Forever lost 04/05/2011 18:25

We heard you the first time rita<img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' />lol

Wiggy 04/05/2011 00:19

Ultreia (Jo & Alan) 03/05/2011 20:49

Oh dear I'm not available till after my walk. Thought I would be free next weekend but working till I go away. I know I started it, but it could be done anytime and make it an event every couple of months for new members. <img src='theme/emoticon_confused.png' />

top_spot (john) 03/05/2011 20:04
