EagleWoman: I went to a meet 2/3 years ago in Barcelona ... Met GingerBe and Oslo and a few others who don't appear to be here anymore ... Was good fun and enjoyed the experience

I was with a guy I had met here on CS ... Irony of ironies on our way home from the meet our 8 month relationship fell apart and we split up a couple of days after ... I can grin now but that bit wasn't much fun at the time!! No sad flowers needed ... all water under the bridge


hug

The hug was for me tongue

I was lucky enough to meet Ginger and Oslo as well. I think people that have been to meets are more understanding that there are real people behind the screen.

Oslo was on the schweppes tonic all night wink

I know Sunny sigh

An opportunity came up at home and Im travelling home on Sunday. It would have been good to meet you but am sure there will be meets in Dublin I can now attend easier.
Bodie is a gem........I was lucky enough to spend a bit of time with him and Trish..........Good people.

patmac: Let's have a happy positive thread folks.

Have any of you had a good laugh or formed friendships at any of the C S meets you attended.

Or have you had fun meeting folk from here?

I know all the folk who were in Spain this time last year had a great time even with all the troubles the had with the Volcano....

I've been to many many meets here. A few in each of Dublin, Cork, Kilkenny, Wexford, Galway.

In total I've met over a hundred individuals. Most are great, but as with everything there are a few that don't quite make much of an effort.

I haven't regretted going to an event yet thumbs up

I had a great conversation with Ginger and she's a real Lady. It was a good night Pat. You were not long on CS if I remember correctly and I was surprised to see you there. They are a good crowd and Im sure the Irish will have a couple of meets this year.

cheers

It could be hard to make a meet far away, but it would be good to have a local meet with people close by.I live on long island and a meet here or within the five boros or upstate would be good. I think I spelled boros wrong,lol....my bronx accent.

Cheers R ....cheers .... looking forward to it muchly.

How many finally made it to the Benidorm meet ? Was it about 13 after a sign up of 50+ ? Expecting the same sort of numbers here, hopefully a few more locals will turn up on the day.

Funny about the numbers... About 60+ signed up, and in truth, only 16 showed up...

But, you know, that was a fine amount of people to meet I found..

By the time we all exchanged hello's, and then talked to everyone individually, there was quite a bit of time that passed... Then we started dancing together, and had a few drinks, and before we knew it, the morn had arrived..

Besides, I did take Aussie small small tings for all, but I never took 60 of them... so just as well... hehehegrin

Awwwwhhhh, now I am going into maudlin mode again talking about all of this... sigh

Another one has been mentioned in Spain, but after all the organising last year and then folks not even being bothered to let me know that they wouoldnt be coming frustrated well, dunno if I'll be arranging it!
Would do so in a flash tho Merri if you were coming back, or if Pat or Ginger were going to be able to make it!cheers
