customhouseregular Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
