Thank you!!!
I would just like to say a very big thank you for all the hard work that goes on daily, weekly and indeed yearly by Tony and Anita.
I really love these forums, the people on it and of course our wonderful Enid Blyton Society Journal.
So thank you very much Tony and Anita for everything you do - it really is very much appreciated.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels the same way!

Re: Thank you!!!
Hear hear, Pete. Indeed you are not the only one who regards this site so highly and enjoys meeting like-minded people on the forum. In a world where bad news is the norm, it is good to come here for some positive heart-warming fellowship. I gladly add my thanks to Tony and Anita for their dedication in keeping this Enid Blyton site going.

Yes, I agree — a huge, huge thank you to Tony and Anita. The EBS Forums are always a bright spot in my day and it's so lovely to be part of this warm-hearted, friendly, fun community.

Re: Thank you!!!
Yes - I completely agree. Often, the people we should thank the most go overlooked. Thank you to both Tony and Anita and to all contributors to the forums and the website.

Re: Thank you!!!
Yes we sometimes take for granted that it will all be here for us when we log in but it does take a lot of work and effort to keep this website and it's forums up and running and constantly updated. Well done to our dedicated duo, hopefully they will continue for many years to come.

Re: Thank you!!!
Thanks, everyone! It's a real pleasure to be here and have the opportunity to chat about all things Blyton - or even simply "all things"! It's lovely that we've got so many forumites who've been with us for years and have built up a community of like-minded people - and it's always fun welcoming newbies too, of course. I thoroughly enjoy looking in several times a day and catching up with what's going on, and I especially love the topics which look at Enid Blyton articles, magazines, etc. each week/month/fortnight - i.e. Tony's threads on Teachers World and Sunny Stories, and Rob's thread on Enid Blyton's Magazine. I feel as though I'm being taken back in time! There are masses of other topics of interest as well.
Thanks too to our Journal contributors, and to all those who write/have written lively and interesting reviews to accompany Tony's wonderfully comprehensive listings and scans in the Cave. Terry Gustafson in particular has reviewed an incredible number of books!
We also have the continuation novels in the Secret Passage, recent titles having been written by Rob, Julie and Daisy. They're smashing stories which capture the spirit of Enid Blyton's originals - thanks very much indeed to the writers!
Cheers to all who come on and contribute! Looking forward to many more happy years on the website and forums!

Re: Thank you!!!
Thank you for creating and maintaining what appears to be a very friendly forum, it's something of an achievement these days considering how many forums are ruined by people sniping and being downright nasty to one another whilst hiding behind their computer screens

Cheers Chrissie, Lenoir and Ambersmum! Squabbles occur from time to time, Ambersmum, but they generally blow over soon enough.
A big thanks to you, Lenoir, for compiling the Journal Index and keeping it up to date! I find it invaluable.

Somewhat belatedly I'll add my thanks. I get an awful lot of pleasure from this website and I appreciate what a great deal of work it must be. Thank you Tony and Anita.
