Oops! My apologies for sending a message about the above to the list. It was intended as a private e-mail to Janice only but obviously I must have clicked on "all recipients" by mistake. However, since I did so, I may as well mention that the "London Group" I referred to is the London Group of Yorkshire Family History Societies of which I am chairman. We are a small group that meets four times a year at the Society of Genealogists, comprising people with Yorkshire research interests who live mainly in the London and south-east area. We welcome newcomers who are members of one of the Yorkshire societies. See our website for details: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/FHS/index.html We try to have a varied and entertaining programme, including at least one speaker a year from Yorkshire. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Hello all, As Roy has mentioned it - I am going to the meeting on the 28th, to hear a talk about "Yorkshire Food" by Christine Willott - if you've been to any of our Yorksgen gatherings, you probably know Chris. My contribution to the meeting - I am bringing some authentic Yorkshire Parkin, which all those who attend will be able to sample. Now many of you will be wondering what Parkin is - it's made at our local bakery and is an oaty gingerbread. :-)) Janice Wood
