Don't listen to Neil!     ;D

It is just a sort of get together with other Rootschatters living in the same area, who might like to get together for a meal and meet and talk about anything, everything and possibly even family history    ;)

Weekends are good for me unless I am catering for hubby's golf club. But let me know a date and I will WRITE IT IN BLACK TEXTA on  my calandar.

Some RootsChatters "talk" to each other here for years -  on various topics, by PM or in the chatroom -  without ever getting to meet personally.

A mini-meet is a great possibility to meet "the person behind the avatar" :)

Australia is a bit far for me, but I do help to organise regular mini-meets in Berlin for a german genealogy forum.  So next time any one is in Berlin, Germany  ....  ;D

Thanks BB will keep that in mind.

Wiggie - I have a few RC-friends in the chatroom who live in Vic. Next time I go in there I will make sure they know about your thread.

 ;D Ted

PS We did have a wonderful chat last time we met in person. I'd love to catch up with you again soon.
