Hi All
Well at last the Meet took place back in Princetown.
Never at all in all the Meets I have attended have I met so many 'old friends and boxers', (the 'old' not referring altogether with age!) It really was an exhilerating experience; the atmosphere was so friendly, convivial and so remeniscent of the POM Meets - but so much more so! Hoorah!
Hope you other boxers appreciated this, and to those who missed or stayed away -sorry, you lost out!
Have a good year of boxing!

Totally agree TWA. Sorry I didn't get chance to chat with you for longer. I couldn't believe the number of established letterboxers from the early years who visited yesterday. It was a total success and hopefully with luck it will stay there. There were a couple of problems setting it up there, but I hope they can get that sorted out for the next one.

Also thought it as a great 'Meet'. Plenty of room to mill around and chat to people, as well as look at all the walks and merchandise that was on sale. Only discovered people in the backroom when I went outside to the snack van!!!. Plenty of car parking, but that needs to be better signposted. Too many people were parking on the side of the road as in the 'olden days'. This was causing problems with the thru traffic now that they have those pedestrian crossing chicaines in. Saw a coach having great difficulty manouvering through them. Even had time to go out and do a short walk in the morning before the heavens opened in the afternoon. Roll on the summer!! :wink:

As mentioned up there great to be back in Princetown again, and meetingsomany old friends and for me some of the magic came back for me this meet. I really enjoyed myself for the day
Though I could have brained the stupid woman who smudged ink over my stamps...
However I did spare a long thought for those who have gone setting up boxes around the pearly gates.

Yep my sentiments exactly, lost quite a few letterboxing friends over the last few years.

It was so nice to meet those I knew so long ago but sad to say a lot have now gone, 'retired' or just disappeared from view.
Still, welcome to the 'New Ones' hey! Let`s hear from you!
