David A:
July 2016 for me, seemed quite a random date until I remembered it was around the time my best mate Mark died of Pancreatic Cancer. We had a final holiday together in the village in September 2015 and I've visited at that time every year since as it brings back good memories.

Lesley:
My profile advises me March 2010 but I my have changed my profile as sure it was longer.......

That’s an awful way to remember David, very sorry to hear that.
A very “newbie” or am I? I certainly am a newbie as a member, but I do vaguely remember accessing something like this whilst we were visiting. Our last visit before 2019 was 2006 and looking at the members list in “date joined” order I’m guessing 2006 was when the forum started? Or has it, like other forums I’ve been on, had other incarnations?
The numerous forums I’m on (I have a few interests) are in the same boat as this forum i.e. losing its membership due to social media (it’s not just FB). I think the reasons are quite complex, but mainly due to the friction between different people, there are many other reasons such as the fad of social media and the need to be seen…, boredom etc. .  It’s a great shame as I don’t think there is any comparison with the two in terms of communication, information or community. Of course I’m very biased as I really dislike all aspects of social media and the way it is run. Don’t get me wrong, in principle it’s a great concept, but in practice it’s a great fat rip-off. Unfortunately I suspect things will only get worse for forums like this as social media gets its wish and takes over the world of communication – very sad….
