Hi Geoff In reply to your thoughts on get togethers the September one was such a huge sucess and a great help to me I definitly think we should have another in or around March or April a quick look at the calender shows Easter weekend starts on on the Friday 13th,(yes it does) and generaly I find weekends after Easter quite busy, so I propose Saturday the 31st of March its far enough away from Easter weekend and the clocks will have gone forward to give people traveling some distance more daylight. I thought we had the format for September just right with the 1 pm start and the mix of social chat and research was ideal so why try to improve on perfection. What did stike me was the amount of none list researchers who attended who have an enormous amount of valuable information just waiting to share I wish as a list we could evolve in such a way that we could include what must be the other 9 tenths of Hawkesbury reseachers to the advantage of all. regards Robert Millard PS I noticed the village went to the great expense of cleaning out the Village Pond and you did n't go for a dip
