I've met NaomiP, Gymfreak, Pestomum, Puddington etc. since but don't think I saw them on the day. We gave santababy a lift back up to Edinburgh. Party bus! When will we all meet again? Soon, I hope.

HappyG(rrr) 1:26pm 1:26pm, 28 Jan 2021 37339 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Really? Is that allowed (that's to be Grep and Mac!)? Was def Kinky I said hi to. And she had the full Lara Croft plait going on, so they may have looked similar?! Grep, that seems a bit surprise. She went to many of the big running events and the socials, of course. Here are she and Hendo (Edinburgh 2010, I think?) No, it's 09.

GregP 1:29pm 1:29pm, 28 Jan 2021 124944 posts	0 GregP Beachy 2008 you could make a shorter list by naming the Fetchies that weren't there. Puds was on that list though I fear.

Got something to say?

Looks as though this thread has become popular again, here in 2010 (it's now 2021, and it started in 2008, so I think "still popular" might be more apt! :-)

Good Luck everyone.

Some acronyms, in case people use them:
