BBC Gloucs - Thank You!!
« on: Saturday 11 February 06 17:23 GMT (UK) »
Just got in after an extremely hectic day at BBC Learning Centre in Gloucester.

WE had an amazing time, not many people escaped without being told of the delights of Rootschat!   Grin

I just wanted to say Thanks, on behalf of everyone who posted questions, to those who took the time to read and answer.

I posted with the info that was available at the time & then the people went away so that we could talk to others.  This might mean it will be a while before they reply - depending on their access to the internet.  Hopefully they will be joining us & will answer in due course (as I know some already have)

Thanks also to Graceland, Keziahemm and AngelaR for being there - we all worked VERY hard!

It certainly was hectic - I can talk for England but I've got SUCH a sore throat after talking non-stop for over 6 hours  Grin

Where was it on the radio Tricia? I've just seen a really brief clip on the TV news but they managed to miss the RootsChat stand  Sad

I just tuned in online to Radio Gloucs - they kept advertising it with lots of background noise

Ah that explains it!

There certainly was background noise - the place was packed solid  Roll Eyes I think quite a few people are going to be joining RootsChat over the next day or so - a couple of the family history researchers there were very enthusiastic to join us, so that's great.

Look out for lots of new Gloucestershire members!

Brilliant day, very hectic but enjoyable meeting lots of very friendly interested people  Grin  Will be interesting to see if membership leaps after today, as so many said they were going home to play    Wink

Saw the top of my head very briefly on the local news bulletin  Roll Eyes  Perhaps they will show more on Monday's Points West.

Tricia - Graceland backed off when he saw the microphone  Grin  Grin  (So did I!)
