Imogen

Post by Michelle Rowatt »

What do people think of the idea of collecting birthday cards for Imogen from members of the forums and sending them to Tony, who could then pass them along to Imogen?

It's her 75th birthday this year, a milestone, so I think it would be a nice gesture.

That would be a great idea, except that poor Tony might be swamped with birthday cards to post! :shock:

What a lovely thought. Better check with Tony if this is possible though. :D

Does Imogen read these forums? If so, maybe another option would be for someone to set up a birthday page and anyone who wanted to, could add their name and message?

When is her birthday? It does sound like a nice idea but whether or not it is practical is another thing. Perhaps one really nice card from "The Society" would be better? I'm sure Tony has that one well in hand anyway. If we are to send individual cards count me in.

Same here. Imogen's birthday is on 27th October, which is a Wednesday.

Individual cards is a great idea, but to which address do we send them, Anita?

Good point Eddie, I would hate to burden any one person with the task of forwarding dozens of cards.

Sadly sending a card for me would be impossible - but I'd still like to wish her by email, if possible!

Does anyone have an address for cards to Imogen?

It's hard to believe that Imogen, Enid's youngest daughter is now in her early eighties. Where have all those years gone!
