    Enjoy your day Carolbee!

    JackieO a spring meeting in London would be lovely, the Age Exchange cafe has been refurbished and is open longer hours now. And they have better and more varied food (alas, more expensive). Long gone the days of the 50p pot of tea and 70p homemade cake! But at least we won't be chucked out for meeting regularly there! Were you with us when it was suggested that "we pay an association fee to meet"?

    Is that the Blackheath one? If you do a spring meet up there and give me plenty of notice I'll definitely join you. I'll need to come south at some point in the spring and I was born and brought up in the village. There is an old photo of me from the local paper at the Age Exchange doing one of their 'Wartime experience' days for the local school.

    Have a lovely time in Faversham.

    FurryBeastOz I went to school in the village at All Saints CP from 1949-54, that was when Blackheath was still a village Miss Knott was the head teacher and there were only four classrooms with an average of over 40 per class. I know Blackheath quite well, and lived there from 1947-57

    Thank you Carolbee and I will text you so you have my number too.

    FBO Yes it is the Blackheath one, let's have a meet soon in the new year!

    Getting really excited now, I really love a good OS meetup!
    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    I was hoping to make this one, but a family commitment is the same day. Hope to meet you at the next one.
