John, it would be lovely to see you if you were free to make it! And Andrea...well, she was here all along....hidden for a while......but now I feel - as I approach my 40th birthday in January - that its time to embrace who I am and revert to using my grown-up name (sounds all very touchy-feely self-analysing stuff!) !!!!  I also want to ensure that I don't disappoint any more ladies who may come along to a meet with the hope that Andie is Andy....as happened at Portsmouth! please don't grow up too quickly!!!!!!! |

Be nice, i'm new!

I don't intend growing up at all in that way, John!!! Another problem I've had is orchestra rehearsals - when our lovely conductor ask 'Andie/y' to play from the coda, neither Andie/y knows who she means!!!

Great that you can join us. Bear & Ragged Staff Stoneymarsh Michelmersh Nr Romsey SO51 0LB If you are traveling A3057 north from Romsey towards King Somborne, then B & R S is on the right, just after you pass the sports car garage then the Malthouse pub on the left and pass through a width/speed restriction construction (that's if some lorry hasn't wiped it out again!). See you Sunday ;D That's the Sunday when we all get to meet this Andrea person. Hopefully she will be as much (or more) fun than the Andie we all knew. Don't worry about 40 Andrea - its a mere bagatelle, now 50+ ......... Actually it's great as you no longer have to justify having grown up toys, like an F/TF. Everybody assumes it's because of mid life crisis/second childhood. Grow old disgracefully ;D  Alistair & Carol |

Thanks for the directions - see you Sunday.
Have you got any of your SCRR badges made up - would like to start collecting from those natters that I manage to get along too.

I'd love to make the lunch and see the mods that have converted the lovely Andie into a new being, but am already committed. (Andrea was one of our choices of name if we ever had another girl, so must be good!)

Andrea and Lizzie
Alistair and Carol
Jay - possibility at mo.
cjmillsnun
Charles S
Dave & Trish
Potentially 9 at present then. Any more, or will it be the select few?
I will be warning B & R S of expected numbers tomorrow evening (Wednesday 25) in order to reserve an area for us. I will allow for some spare places so that last minute entries can be accommodated or even those who turn up on the spur of the moment.
Don't miss this quality event!!

Clocks go back on Sunday - presume meet will be at noon new time rather than old time.
Anyway - we'll try and be there for a about noon (anytime!), having enjoyed the extra hour in bed.

I can increase your rate of pay to include a kiss and a hug if you like...!  ;D |

Yep - doesn't take much does it!!   I like! But can we refer this to ACAS as I am not sure it complies with minimum wage regulations? |

Plans have changed slightly - spending a few days in Brighton, coming across for Sundays meet and then home. Coming back down on 1/2 after a couple of days at work. Evening meet near to Blandford Forum would be good - perhaps Shaftsbury or Gillingham.

I am sure I could fit an evening meet - Gillingham or Shaftesbury would obviously be okay for me... Alistair, I contacted ACAS and apparently a kiss and hug is definitely the recommended wage increase from a smile...so all is well within guidelines! ;D |

I also want to ensure that I don't disappoint any more ladies who may come along to a meet with the hope that Andie is Andy....as happened at Portsmouth!
