Poll, that was delightfully put. You were a great bunch, but I'd reiterate those special thanks to our friends from Glasgow and surrounding area for demonstrating the warmth, humour and spark that makes Glasgow such a special place.
Thanks to everyone who came. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I hope Mr PollDoll, Mr Pels and Mitchell's sister had a good day and now understand why PollDoll, Pels and Mitchell are so attached to their RootsChat community. And thanks too to Sarah and Trystan for hacking up to Glasgow - it was great to see our caretakers mixing with the punters.
In thanking people, mustn't forget Gadget who drove the initial planning - you don't know what you missed young lady!
Some reflections on organising a meeting to follow when it's all sunk in a bit more - especially about what is manageable in a single day. Apologies to aspin about the dispappearing sunday morning programme - we hadn't computed that the impact of the soccer international would still be felt well into the next morning.
Here's what I think is the definitive full line-up, courtesy of my very patient daughter, except Pels has succeeded in hiding again
joekar, janglaschu, julianb, Sarah, Trystan, Mr PollDoll, Timothy, grumpyblondie, apanderson, daval57, Fivecrates, pancho, mongoose2, gjil, Ann Baker, redkop, (Pels in hiding), Mr Pels, Mitchell, Michell's sister.
