Lovely afternoon meeting the human faces behind our GPF avatars. Thank you to @sport_billy for organising it and for seeing us safely back to the station. Looking forward to eating the muffins made by @Wiebke later at home. I hope to see many of you again at the Kidsgrove animal fair in November.
 
Not long back in the house. Totally shattered and very disappointed. Even if we had continued on our journey to Birmingham we would've just popped our heads in the pub and then had to head off back to the station. It was absolute chaos at Carlisle as all trains were delayed because of this one broken down. We spent a total of 9 hours on trains today and only got to Carlisle! Next time we will drive or stay over the night before and after... :nod:

It's great to know you all had a fantastic time, and @Wiebke 's cakes didn't go to waste...:drool:

Maybe next time........

Lisa & Ali..x
 
I'm really glad I managed to get out of bed and meet you guys. What a great bunch of folk you/we are! :) oh and lil, very small world innit ;) Such a horrible shame Lisa and Ali couldn't get here, bloomin trains :rant: Hopefully see you soon for a natter :)
Here's to the next meet up, TEAS is believe. Hope to see some of you there. In the meantime, I'll get me another pint, cheers! :beer:

I am ever so sorry that you couldn't make because of the trains. You have been missed!

The muffins have all gone and netted nearly £40 for TEAS sanctuary! I hope that they were worth the donation for everybody who bought some! ;)
 
Just got back home, was such a lovely day :)

Thanks to all those that made it and sorry to Lisa and Ali that you guys endured such an awful journey. It would have been lovely to see you both. All together we had 19 people for the meet which must be a record. You are all as lovely in person as you are on here. Such a fantastic bunch of people :)

@Tim has lots of photos to put up, I am sure as I was using his camera at times.

Here are a few from mine which I got out at the end of the day... But I don't think I got everyone whereas on Tim's I certainly did :)

Photos coming shortly....
 
As always a great day and nice to meet some new faces. Hope to see some if you at kidsgrove in November ir st a cavy Corner pignic (if I can manage to get to one)

Have some really nice photos on Tim's camera, so I am hoping over the weekend @Tim will do the honours and pop them up :)

Thanks to @MrsSuzy for the mug :)
 
Fantastic photo's .... xx
 
Home phew! Lovely meeting everyone, shall defo being doing it again. Now must attend to the pigs as I'm sure Rambo will be demanding food and attention!
 
ah ha! I see I must be the only one who didn't log on this morning and give some warning as to what I look like, so thankful Karonus was there and I recognised you straight away otherwise I might have been a bit confused over what I was doing. Nice to meet everyone and to catch up with those I have met before, I am now spending time linking names to usernames and going ahhhhhhh so that was you!
 
Boys all sorted with supper and cuddles- have informed Brodie that he isn't just 'fat' he's a "teddy" - Thankyou Wiebke for identifying him! - Now I can sit down read the posts , after saying THANK YOU ALL for a really enjoyable day- big thankyou to Lee (Sport Billy) for organising it (see I can now put names to faces and avatars :D)
another thankyou to Wiebke for the wonderful muffins they were delicious - I did manage to save them til I got home and I shared!!
Looking forward to seeing all the pics and hopefully meeting up with you all again in the future.
 
It was lovely to meet you all today! Totally gutted that Lisa and Ali were unable to make it, but I know we will get to meet you sometime soon, and hope you are now safely home. Sorry I had to dash off, but one of the downsides to being a pet sitter is that you work seven days a week and I had lots of little furry friends waiting for their tea, in addition to the TEAS residents needing meds etc. A huge thank you from all the TEAS residents for your generous donations for Wiebke's muffins. The amount raised will cover the cost of almost two dentals. Anyway must go and flush an eye socket! I really do get the best jobs! lol
 
It sounds like you guys all had an amazing time. I wish I could have joined you but I work every Saturday. Is there any chance a Sunday would be viable for another get together? Birmingham suits me. Looking forward to seeing some photos. X
 
When is the TEAS event? Can't see it on here or the website but might have missed it on there?
