No-one was really sure who would be there! I had a hint that one or two people were going to make it but couldn't be sure. We'd waited something like 16 years for this one moment, 2010-2010-2010!

Back in 1994 Maria (although she can't remember it being her) came up with the idea of meeting up outside Wimborne Minster at ten past eight (2010) on October 20th (20/10) in the year 2010. At the time it seemed an age away and maybe it was - but it arrived anyway, bang on time!

Having had a slap-up meal with Steve and Kathy at The King's Head, I dashed off (leaving Steve to pick up the bill) with but a few minutes to spare. I was delighted with the turn-out! Thanks everyone who came! We had (see above pic), Christian, me, Steve, Kathy, Jon and Vicki, Ian and Vicki, John J, Debbie, Debbie, Maria, Fiona, Lou and Ed (who was late so missed the pic)!

Stupidly perhaps, I asked, "So, when is the next one?", and it was decided that it should be in about 16 years time, so I look forward to seeing you all at 27 minutes past eight on Tuesday 20 July in 2027 for 2027-20/7-2027. Yea, not quite as catchy huh?!
