As its my birthday today and Im feeling old Ive just been looking back over some old posts.  This one stood out

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=11&TopicID=133302&PagePosition=1&ThreadPage=1&ReturnPage=Search&search=&searchIn=

Was the first meet really that long ago?!

I really am old!  I was about 25 when I went to that meet!  Its funny looking back at the old pics and remembering the fun times I had with such fantastic people. 

I would love to get another meet with all the originals back together (although I dont want to exclude anyone else) to see how we have all changed over the years. 

I celebrated my birthday that weekend as it was so close to that meet all those years ago.  This year I dont think I could drink half as much as I did or stay up as late!

Anyone else feeling nostalgic?  17

Hi Tilly Mae. Yes, I get nostalgic, I miss the old meets. I wasn't on the first meet, but have been going on meets since 2004. I think I met you at the first Alien meet, did you fall off a chair?

Hope you had a good birthday.

Hi Tilly
Happy Birthday
Met you at Elvaston many years ago.
My own particular favourite had to be the Northern Ireland meet which must have been 2005, as it was a long way for most members we made the most of the time spent.
Bruce's was good although we were relegated to the naughty area (not the main part) with statics. As we are a small campervan we always get shoved onto the naughty pitch lol and we are really quiet.

Hi Tilly Mae

We were at the first, not been able to make many more due to work committments. We often think back to the fun first few meets. And we have both changed as well, bit still mad on pigs!!!

It is nice to see old names on here.

Hope you had a great birthday.

Shelly

You did indeed meet me at the first alien meet, and  it wasnt so much fell off the chair as broke the chair

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/gallery/view_slide.asp?gallery=39&page=121

the bruise on my bum hurt for weeks!  Most people got the cameras out first but Maddie (bless her) actually offered to help me up (after taking a pic!), although all I could do was laugh!  Still feel guilty about breaking their chair.  17

Sorry, just seen your post geoffb.  Hectic life at the mo!  17

I couldnt make Elvaston, hope everyone who did go had fun.  I'll be looking out for photos.

I was at Sinfin on friday, Alfreton on sat and Codnor today as a first aider with St John Ambulance.  Am so knackered!  17

Hoping to get to a meet sometime this year but life just so hectic right now I cant say if or when I can make one!  17
