One point - we went to the Essex meet and, while we enjoyed meeting everyone, it was spoiled a bit for us as a lot of people were smoking. I'm concerned because we will have a 3-month-old baby with us this time, and obviously we don't want him passive-smoking. Could we all perhaps agree not to smoke in our area? Those who want a gasper can nip off to the bar or garden, maybe. We'd appreciate it. :)

Looking forward to meeting some new people!

Hi Jen yes I'm ok thanks, working everyday- so much for it being a part-time job! I've had this week off and been to visit my ex neighbour in Devon for 3 days. I've had a yukky cough cold thing but its almost gone.
The Quays- I've been to several parties there and another internet forum meet and its never been smokey, there is a garden and doors opening out onto the lake so it should be ok. If No1 daughter comes she said she'd look after the little ones - she could walk the baby or go to the garden/playground?
look forward to hearing your news.
Helen

Re: Surrey meet

Hi Helen & All

Thanks for a lovely afternoon, it was really nice to meet you all.

The photo's came out great, I have a problem with putting them onto the photo gallery, it says its not yet set up to accept my type of package, I have Kodak Share.

I then tried to post them individually on the threads, but it says its too big, my photo's are approx 624 K and I think you can only put 39 k on.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I can't figure out how to resize them.

Thanks Helen for organising, it was a great turnout

Re: Surrey meet

do the restrictions apply to the PHOTOPOST area as well. could you not post them in there ?

the quickest / dirtiest way to reduce the file size of the pics is to reduce the actual physical size of the picture. open in MSPAINT, from the menu choose [IMAGE], [STRETCH/SKEW] and try reducing the size of the pics. this may help. I use a 5 mega pixel camera that creates an original image around 2.5MB in size and I can reduce them to 1 5th of this just by reducing the image to 80%.

great day today, good to talk you guys, good luck and keep us all posted.
