Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or whether I need to get a life Hi there I would agree as a new member I had hoped it would help me to meet and get to know some fellow boat owners. Can i suggest that maybe we all agree to meet up on a certain day and time, that way we can have a handfull of us on there to get some good chat going .

Ange Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 I've been known to frequent the chat room at times and, as Ally said, there was a time when it was always buzzing with people and great fun. It seems to have died recently which is a shame. I think it needs someone to sit in there alone for a while. I sometimes see that there's someone in there and think "I'll just make myself a coffee then I'll pop in and have a chat" but they're gone when I come back. You do find that once 3 or more people are in in there others are more likely to join in. I like the idea of setting a day and time, or even a particular time every day - how about somewhere 8 or 9pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
