That's fine, June. I can find any excuse to go to Kew. Having just been to a talk about Royal Navy ratings, it has reminded me of all those little loose ends I've never quite tied up. The boards (or my computer?) are playing up tonight, so I'm saying good night for this evening, but will be back tomorrow to see if anyone else is interested.

Is 5th March suitable for anybody? I could do 19th February, but I suspect that is rather short notice. B

Brenda Like Babara I can't visit at present. But, I too, think what you are suggesting is a great idea! I can only hope there will be something like this offered when I can visit for the first time...........First Time at anything is always the worst :( Chris

Ann's just shown that Kew IS exciting. Lots of people are nervous about that first visit, simply because they don’t know what to expect. On my very first visit to Kew, a couple of friends met me there and gently nudged me in the direction of the records I needed. It was brilliant and I can never be sufficiently grateful to them. Each time I go to a new record office the system is slightly different and I have to learn the ropes all over again, but I’m no longer so embarrassed about asking the stupid question. Is anyone interested in a meetup at Kew one Saturday? I’m not suggesting anything major: perhaps half a dozen of us, and I’m not setting myself us as an expert – Kew is too big for that – but I can thread a microfilm reader and know where the help desks are. The idea is more to have a face you recognise there and a chance to discuss what to do next over lunch. If you think this would be a good idea, please add your name to this. B
