In the past day 7 of May, I was in Twyford, to 40 Km of London, in more a meeting organized by the Enid Blyton Society. With a participation of nearby 90 persons. The doors of the Londdon Hall opened to the 10h30 and were around the room nearby 10 salespersons of books and you collected of the histories that E. Blyton wrote. The Intervention of the day was in charge of Mark Davinson that spoke about his book "Remember Hook" and Enid Blyton in Hook in the years 20. Hook is a small town in England. Of the part of the morning was predicted the participation of Ted Francis, that rolled the series Ventures, but by unexpected motives cannot be present. In the break for lunch and with a light meal sold by the organization we be able to also savor to Ginger Beer that to Vivienne Endecott sold in the banca of the Ginger Pop, entity that organizes walks by Dorset (South of England), where Blyton passed his vacation and where was inspired for write the histories of the Five and other adventures, inclusive there was rolled the film "Five on to Treasure. Both the sons of Blyton Gillian Baverstock, Imogen Smallwood, to biografa Barbara Stooney also did to his meal accompanied with Ginger Beer that in Portuguese is Beer of Gengibre (Without alcohol). I recollect that to Ginger Beer was the beverage preferred of the personages that Blyton wrote. The program advanced with two small film "Tales of the Woodland" and an extract of the theatrical piece "Noddy in Toyland".

Yeah, I was trawling the archives in the vaults way beneath the Cave. Some interesting stuff there! It's also worth looking at "View unanswered posts" too. Well done at being Quiz Supremo, too! :D

Hi Ming,

Yes it is a really old thread. It was when I discovered the joys of broadband and EB Society. Almost everything found on EB was a joy and new. I was only thinking the other day how we managed without the internet and Google.
