Our Bcc do!

Post by Northern Lass »

Well I had a great night!
Hope that everyone else did too!

Thanks to all those that came along it was fantastic to meet
you all and have a chat with you and finally put faces to names!

The Bell and Bear at Gorsty Hill did us proud I think so thanks to them too!

We should have one every year now and Sp1 may organise the next one eh Steve? :wink:
That would be good if every year someone else organises a different venue etc.

Anyway thanks again
off to sober up :grin:

It was nice to get over to The Black Country and kind of walk in the footsteps of my ancestors.

Nice to meet some people too, although I don't generally post that frequently on the forum - apart from when I have a mystery that I need to solve, and then its generally concentrated within a short space of time.

For me I got the opportunity to go to St Thomas' Parish Church in Dudley as that is where one of my earlier ancestors got married - although I have to say I imagine it was less run down then as it is now. Its a shame that it has been allowed to decay, not the church but the surrounding area.

I also got to go to Quinton where my family are from - and although all that is left is the Church and School, it was nice because the last record I have of my family in Quinton is of the 3 children being registered at the school. So to see it still standing was quite a thrill.

I'm sure I will be back as I want to dig some more around the area and maybe photograph what is there now, and how different it has become. :)

Oh and thanks for the lift back down the mountain, it was quite a trek up that hill. :)

young lad like you should run up and down that bank even after 5 pints :lol:
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
