Yes please... I'll just slip in and sit in the back if you don't mind. I have to drive beyond Exeter to inspect a venue on Saturday and goodness knows what time we'll get back. If I look like I'm asleep somebody shoot a spitball at me or prod me with a stick please.

Plenty of seats in the back row, Nigel. And if the film for the projector slips, maybe you can set it right ;-)

I hope to attend.

Please add me! Thanks

Pretty sure I will have to miss this one. 😢

Count me in, please!
Thanks,
Cynthia

Please count me in. Thanks.

Yes please!

I am interested. Please send link

I will be in Barcelona next October for a few days before taking a Mediterranean cruise. Ports include Cannes, Florence, Rome, Naples, Messina, Valetta, Cagliari and Palma.

Would love to be able to talk to anyone who has been to any of these places.

I have been doing a lot of research including youtube videos, friends and this forum but always glad for more input to some of my questions. Also always glads for tips and suggestions.

I’d love to join you!

Hi Catherine,

I would love to attend, please. Thanks!

I have a trip in April/May. Doing the RSE Best of Holland, Belgium, then on to France & the UK. Would love to hear if anyone has taken this RSE trip.

Looking forward to it. Thanks!

I'd like to attend, but I may have to leave early.

I’d like to attend, please.

Another Barbara would like to attend.
We have a 14 night cruise up the coast of Norway booked for May but will be staying in Rotterdam 2 nights before and 4 nights afterwards. We plan on doing day trips to Leiden, The Hague, and Gouda. We’ve been to Amsterdam 2x already, branching out.

Meeting Topics: Feb 10th

I've just sent the meeting link to everyone who has previously attended our online meetings.

For anyone who hasn't, I've sent you a private forum message with setup instructions. Please read that and then get back to me as requested in the message, then I'll send you the meeting link.

If I've inadvertently left anyone out, please drop me a note!

Hi, CWsocial, I pretty sure I can make this session so would like to join if there is room. Happy to sit next to Nigel and poke him from time to time. 🤣

Thanks for the link! See you soon.

Oops...posted on the Jan meeting post. Please add me for 2/10. Am leaving at the end of the month for Scotland, a few days in London and then independently in IST for a few days before joining RS Best of Turkey tour. Looking forward to hearing about your adventures!
Thanks, Laurie

Catherine, please add me in if there's still availability. Thanks!

See you all tomorrow. I am going to try to come in early just to see if I got it right. This is fun

I have just sent the link to Mardee, Andrea (Peterborough) and flola94903.

If I've missed anyone, above, please do send me a message and I will get the link to you.

A reminder to everyone to follow the instructions for the extra layer of security for this meeting series. Those of you who have attended many times already know what that is. For anyone new, I've sent an private message on the forum with those instructions.

Test your setup: I generally log in to the meeting about 15 minutes ahead of the posted time. So if you would like to make sure everything is working, you can join a bit early.

Space available!
I will also continue to check this thread this evening and up until about 30 minutes before meeting time if anyone would still like to join.

It also wouldn't hurt to check for zoom updates ahead of time, too.
Current AppleOS version of zoom is
Version: 5.17.5 (29101)

A warning ---

Do not wear a Kansas City Chiefs shirt or hat

:-)

joe32F,

It's a "Delicate" situation for sure
but if Chiefs' gear is someone's "Style"
we will "Shake it Off"
with no "Bad Blood."

Now "Look What You Made Me Do" :-)

CWsocial, lol!

Unfortunately, due to a family emergency I won’t be able to make it tomorrow. If I was there I would be wearing 49er gear proudly. Go Niners!,

Take care, Andrea, we will miss you!

I "Wish You Would" all just wear "Red" with "Me!"

Everyone who has expressed interest above should have received a private message from me, with the link or with instructions to folllow prior to my sending the link.

If anyone does not have the link, please post her or send me a message. I will check this thread until about 30 minutes prior to the meeting time.

I will start the meeting about 15 minutes early, for anyone who needs to test their setup.

See you all online at 11am PT for the meeting start!

I've sorted our destinations for today in order of departures:

Scotland, London, Best of Turkey tour
RSE Best of Holland, Belgium
Rotterdam with day trips to Leiden, The Hague, and Gouda
