customhouseregular 1,651 Posted April 19, 2022 There are forum members older and me and members who attended meetings before me, but having attended my first meeting 62 years ago I must be in a pretty exclusive club. Who among us attended their first meeting before Easter 1960 and where? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andout 651 Posted April 19, 2022 How many times are we going to do this one? I have a massive feeling of "We've been here before many times"? In fact the subject beneath this one says it all! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted April 19, 2022 You can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. (Something like that anyway). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Something like that anyway). I'm thinking Bob Dylan credited Abraham Lincoln with that! Also consider..... If at first you don't succeed... give up. (Homer Simpson) or If at first you don't succeed... repeat posting it (Johnny Gustix) Also to repeat... for me its: Belle Vue v Oxford 1963...
