    Kirk congratulations to your ,middle daughter. Its been a tough two years on school kids with lots of negative upheaval. Im sure you will join her in saying she will forge new friendships at the new school. I know mine did, and the those friendships have been more durable and they still meet up today 15 years on after A levels.

    Cool

    I’m away next Thursday for a little holiday in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The first holiday in a year! We will also be picking up our biometric ID cards from Lisbon, which have taken over a year to be processed. Hope to see a bit of the city too.

    All pre-brexit residents (we got residency in March 2020) are aimed to be processed by end of year so authorities are cutting it fine.

    Gents I have a Board meeting tonight starting at 19:30 - I am happy to host on Zoom if someone else can do the honours of sending invites etc? (Looking at you AndyG!). Depending on what time I finish I’ll join you later….these things tend to drag out though!

    I’m at Old Trafford tonight, sorry. We’re playing Villa. I can’t see them beating United though.

    I’m happy to host if someone wants to circulate…I’ll log you in from the Theatre of Dreams! 😂

    Social events are like the proverbial London buses as this is the second invitation I've had to turn down tonight. Curry and beers came first. Sorry to be missing tonight.

    The absentees missed an entertaining GTG, as ever the conversation took some unusual twists, aided and abetted by messrs beer and whisky as the event proceeded. Stepdaugter's Labrador (Ozzy) made a cameo appearance, he had a doggy sleepover and clearly wished to be included.

    Soon I hope; a Christmas one would maintain the tradition.

    Kirk is otherwise indisposed tonight, but offered to host.

    I could’ve sent invites, but I’m out of sorts with (non-covid) cold/flu symptoms, so wouldn’t be in for long.

    So I think it may not happen this week.

    Apologies.

    Next week I have our works Christmas dinner - so I may not make it, but rest assured I’ll raise a glass …or two.

    It would be great to have some newcomers along. Just post here and join in the fun. Last year we had Janet in his Mrs Clause outfit - what will happen this year - nobody knows!

    Hello old friends, I have a Sports Club meeting tonight - we are trying to work out how to save Saturday’s Christmas party - we’ve had no sports for the last fortnight due to the cold, so sold few tickets!

    But I’m happy to host and pass it over. I’ll aim to get invites out this afternoon, I’m a bit busy running about though - if someone else could do it please text me and I’ll email you the list (not Ze List).

    Right, I’ve sent a zoom invite out to a most of the people in the few posts above, I’m away from my laptop so don’t have the list, sorry!

    I’m out and about so if you haven’t received the invite could you please ask gbn13, Unclealec, Woodacre1983, g40steve, OldHooky (and a few more, I forget) to forward it on.

    It took me 3 attempts to get your user name correct Martyn, damn that extra space!

    I've been thinking. Seldom a good idea.

    I think it would be fair to say that our erstwhile beloved leader Kirk280 has his mind on other things just now.

    So I was looking at alternative arrangements.

    I was wondering how far the Unclealec finances would tumble if I were to purchase a Zoom licence. Not as far as I thought. £120p.a. to be precise. A mere bagatelle in comparison to the delight of your company and the amazingly educational aspect of regular GTGs. This gives us 100 participants, 30hrs per meeting, for 12 months, and other facilities that I don't think impinge on our requirements.

    Whaddya think?

    My car club Zoom meeting (licence owned by the club, not me) has a permanent link and the same password each time. We "meet" once a month, 3rd Tuesday, a reminder email is sent and those inclined turn up, those disinclined or unavailable don't. An announcement/reminder is posted a day or two beforehand, not containing any meeting i.d. nor password, with an invitation to those who haven't attended previously to send a PM in order to receive the i.d & password. All regular attenders will have been provided with the i.d. and password via PM previously; it would be necessary to save these details somehow for repeated reference each month.

    Would this fly?
