Title: TAS Forum 3rd Anniversary
Post by: Rosemary on October 17, 2010, 08:44:11 pm: Thursday 21st October 2010 is the 3rd anniversary of the TAS forums! Fourteen people joined on the first day, including me - Townie, HilarysMum, Judith, debbie, claire, Alan, jan, Fluffywelshsheep, farmingfriends, Jon, Wanda L Wood, Mossback Farm and scooby. Some posted once and never came back, some just registerd and never posted at all - but some are still around - so thank you!

There are now 2889 forum members - not all post regularly, but we hope everyone who joins, or looks in as a guest, enjoys the chat, the information, the help and support and the occasional spats. We've had births, marriages and, sadly, a bereavement.

I've loved it and I hope we'll all still be posting in another three years! Thank you, all TAS members, past and present, for making it a great forum!

It's saved me from boredom many a long night, saved me making an absolute mess of some projects, given me inspiration for lots of other ones, and I have made loads of friends! So thank you TAS, and Dan and Rosemary! :bouquet: :bouquet: :bouquet:

Its that sentiment that makes this forum what it is.

Congratulations on the cows. Perhaps you could combine the slaughter of one with TAS 5th birthday and we could all come to the barbie. ;D
