Get-Together at Exbury, Sat 12th May 2018

[number 6]

Wow! Is it really a year since the Exbury meet up? It doesn't seem that long ago since I read the posts of those who actually made it down! Mind you, it's nearly a year since I accompanied Gary and Tim round the F5 locations at the beginning of August 2018! Where has the time gone?

I think I've mentioned this before somewhere, but I think it's down to something called 'age'. It's almost a year since I joined this forum but doesn't seem like it.

It doesn't seem a year since our get-together at Exbury, but it is! It's good to look back through this thread and be reminded of a lovely day.

Hope there is a plan for get-together this year, Daisy.

I'd love to come to one if only I can (have never managed yet)... I'd more likely be able to make it if it's somewhere reasonably near London, like Beckenham (quite near me) or Bourne End or Beaconsfield. (Hmmm, did Enid have a thing about living in places starting with B?? )

[Lucky Star]

Wow a year already. It was indeed a lovely day. Sadly I don't think anything has been planned for this year. It always seems to be a bit of a struggle to find dates, places and get commitments from people to attend. But when it happens it is always magical.

I was thinking only this morning that it must be about a year since the get together.

When I realised it was a year ago this weekend I felt a little sad that there isn't another meeting on the horizon, but now I'm comforting myself with the memories of a very enjoyable day last year. All the more special because I didn't think I was going to be able to get there until some last minute arrangements the night before.

I became so excited- then realised it was about last year. It was nice, though, to see the photos again.

Yep! I think you're right! It's an age thing. Best get the retirement home ready for me.

I can now reassure everyone that Pamela Cox isn't dead - I've been in contact with her to get some biographical details for the second edition of The Encyclopaedia of Girls' School Stories, and she's doing just fine: in fact, she's expecting the arrival of her first grandchild at the end of the year.

So there was no get together at all this year?

[Anita Bensoussane]

It's great that you've heard from Pam Cox, Sue.

[Eddie Muir]

It’s good to know that Pamela Cox is alive and well.

Alas no Chrissie. Or not so far anyway.

[Chrissie777]

That's really too bad, John!
Hopefully we all can meet next year in May...

[Onkel Quentin]

We met in Exbury three years ago, it's a shame that it didn't work out this year either, but I'm sure we'll see each other again in 2022
It was such a great day!
