At the meet today the full array of 'boxers' were on display:

a) The boxer who only prints stamps that he/she finds in boxes on the moor.
b) The boxer who prints stamps that he/she finds in boxes, or travelling stamps held by fellow boxers, on the moor.
c) The boxer who prints stamps that he/she finds in boxes, personal or travelling stamps held by fellow boxers, on the moor.
d) The boxer who prints stamps that he/she finds in boxes, meet stamps, personal or travelling stamps held by fellow boxers, on the moor.
e) The boxer who prints stamps that he/she finds in boxes, meet stamps, personal or travelling stamps held by fellow boxers, on the moor, or odd stamps that WERE at one time on the moor but they couldn't find.
f) The boxer who prints stamps that he/she finds in boxes, meet stamps, personal or travelling stamps held by fellow boxers, on the moor, or whole series' of stamps that WERE at one time on the moor but turned up at the meet by the boxload.
g) The boxer who would do all of the above..........and also stamp your grandmother's thumb print if you told them it had a Box Number!

I don't wish to appear righteous, but while I suppose most of us are somewhere around d), for my liking there were far to many f)'s and even a few g)'s charging around the place.

It was nice to meet Nik, Dizzy (Sn & Jr), Crafty Jo, James and Jenny, Exeter Bog Hoppers, The Monkeys & the other forum members (Rixy was in the building but I kept her at arms length :D ). See you all soon.

ps While I was at the bar I'm sure someone stamped my pasty!!

Nice to meet you all to, we got a few charity walks and think we are going to do the tin tin scouts walk as we like the stamps, we hope everyone had a good day, shame it rained but it is sunny now.......shame

Hello!

Just got back. Great to meet so many people from the forum and put faces to names! :D

Bought a couple of charity walks:
Chicks 'Creatures on Dartmoor' - Jenny liked the stamps
Udder Crowd's 'Portraits of Dartmoor 2' - gave me a free biscuit!

Stamped a few meet stamps (special credit to Dizzy for his forum members stamp), but as Lost Legionnaire says, the stamping got a bit crazy after a while so we called it a day!

Can't wait to get back on the moors again - hopefully better weather next time!

All the best

James & Jenny :D :D :D
