From recent happenings or stories around Australia and the world.
Could someone please try and explain to me what has happened to The Meeting Place? I have tried to log in with my membership name and password and it has come back to say that I should try and log in again but my password is not recognised.
I have just logged in again and I have been accepted with my old password, what has happened to the site ?
It's been a few days that no members have contributed.
Think everyone has given up Hola. I only do the Covid numbers now because of the lack of people posting.
I'd like to thank you for all your responses and support to me over the years, much appreciated and all my very best to you and yours in the future.
Hi RnR - It is indeed a sad day that the site seems to have closed down . I have tried on a number of occasions to try and log into my account only to be told to set up a new Password, I have tried but it is always rejected. I have been with YLC since August, 2012 and am sure you have been also. Only Suze and you and I are the only ones left. Thanks RnR for all your interesting bits of news and your friendly manner in which you replied. Best wishes to you also.
Stop whinging please Hola.
At least we won't have to listen to your rubbish any more.
Hola, can we please kiss and make up?
Really interesting, thanks Suze.
Sad no-one posts here any more.
Hope you're keeping well, regards RnR.
They seem to have problems logging in ???
Wonder if Matt Doran (now doing the weekend show) will replace him ??
Hope you all have a clear sky - Happy viewing
Spectacular ... thanks for the viewing info Suze.

Some of the images date from as early as 1911, the same year Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen mounted the first successful expedition to the South Pole.
