January blipmeet.

The little train was running today in Shibden Park but there were too many of us at our blipmeet to all fit on.

There were 17 people and two dogs. 14 of us were blippers.

Above the little train you can see most of us walking around the duck pond. At the front in the centre is Corinthian Column who organised the event. Well done C!
She is flanked by Kagsy65 (left) and Scooby53 (right) who we haven't met before. Just behind them is Wendles56 who got everybody orgainised for a photo.

In the next small group is ValC to the left and almost hidden behind her is Old Bird, another first meet with Dotsnaps behind them accompanied by her husband and MidgeholeDave's wife and Lizzie the dog.

The rear group are Majickat and MidgeholeDave followed by  airedaleknitter and Lovelupins17. Lastly fotojunki, Coombsie and Madwill who had travelled the furthest. Phew! That's not quite it as YORKSHIREBRED was alongside me and dodged out of the way as I took this and I'm not sure where Kagsy's husband is or Midgeholedave's dog Polly. You can now see how we couldn't all fit on the train. Please forgive me if I don't link to them all!

We headed for the tea rooms after our stroll and most of us got in. Some stayed outside with dogs and others went up to the hall.

A good day starting with the RSPB's Birdwatch this morning and followed by this great meet up in the afternoon. Great to meet familiar and new blippers alike. Hope we meet again sometime soon.

Thanks again CC and thanks to airedaleknitter too for taking us.

Sorry if I have misspelled any names I should have made one of those lists!
