Hi Carol and Listers,

I joined this List in 1997 and it seems the virtual Christmas party was at
someone's ancestral home in Constantine. Was that you, Joan in Colorado? But
I think Liz Jenkins might have hosted it??? The 1998 party was held at two
places: I hosted it at the manor home of Lancarffe, in Bodmin and Connie
Saunders hosted it at St Michaels Mount. Checking the Archives I found:
1999 Mousehole
2000 Pendarves Woods
2001 St German's
2002 Tintagel
2003 St Just in Penwith

Best wishes,
Ann Tumser
