How about the last Saturday in July in Belfast for the mini meet

I understand that Tymon Castle is nothing more than a slight mound covered in grass now!   ;D

Hiya Steve and Ticker,

How are you ???

Ticker, Steve has me worried with mention of Lord Ticker :-\ May we continue calling you Ticker ??? I know a Lady. She allows me to use her Christian name although her late husband was a Lord.

You may call me Uncle. I also have the title Godfather as I have a Godson. Sorry I cannot imitate Marlon Brando in his role of the Godfather. Maybe there is a member who could teach me how to imitate him :D

So it is Lord Ticker then... ;D

I understand that Tymon Castle is nothing more than a slight mound covered in grass now!   ;D

OK So Lord Ticker of A Slight Mound Covered in Grass Now! it is..bit of a mouthfull that though :D Would you mind awfully Your Lordship Old Chap if we commoners continued calling you Ticker ??? The good news appears to be you will not have to employ a PA to assist you applying for grants to keep your ancestral heap (pile maybe) in a good state of repair  :D

All the Best, Chris

Hi Chris, I would also like to attend however, I can't definitely commit at this stage as I will have to see how many pennies are in the piggy bank nearer the time.

Cheers

Hi Uncle Christopher

Just to let you know I am still here and hope to attend a meet next year (mid July and mid August no good though I am afraid - but late July early August ok).

I can make a mini meet late July this year possibly.

Thanks for all the planning you are doing!

Happy Easter to you and yous everyone!

Hiya Ticker,

What acreage is your Slight Mound Covered in Grass Now! It is near to Dublin isn't it ??? Would it be worthwhile including it in a list of tours available when the proposed Irish Meet takes place ??? Will you have got your lawnmower and cut the grass by then ??? If the place is overgrown with grass it might not be worthwhile organising a tour to such a site unless you would like an organised work party to make the place neat and tidy :D

All the Best, Chris
