Thank you to those at the group tonight - we did pretty well, putting complicated feelings into words.

A good mix of climbing and other life related things to talk about with a broad spread of experiences.

I'm looking forward to next week. 

I should have reposted exactly this again after last week


good friendly vibe with room for more people

I'll see you tomorrow 

[lagerstarfish]

A reminder that we meet at 9pm tonight.

Message Shark for a link/invite to the Zoom meeting.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all - plenty of room for more people.

The weather is improving and Covid restrictions might be getting less restrictive, but it's not all over for everyone.

Black Dog Club will be going ahead on Thursday. Come along for a chat, a moan, a rant, swapping coping strategies or celebrating your own survival.

With it being virtual, there's no unwanted hugs from strangers and nobody will be trying to get you to go to the pub afterwards to buy them drinks.

We'll probably end up chatting about climbing and there will be laughter.

If you have any questions about the meeting please message me.

You are all welcome to come along -  just listening is fine if you don't feel like talking in front of people you don't know yet.

See you on Thursday at 9pm

A couple of people have messaged about the difficulties of working from home and the potential problems of continuing this. Lack of space at home, limited social contact with colleagues, dealing with kids (hopefully they will be back at school soon) and what will my employer expect in the future.

This is all appropriate stuff to bring to the group.

[lagerstarfish]

Black Dog Club is on tonight.

Please message Shark for a zoom link.

See you later

[lagerstarfish]

A good meeting again tonight.

Nice to see you all.

Some serious chat and some great laughs. All excellent conversation.

Looking forward to next week.

A reminder that it's BDC night tomorrow.
9pm as usual.
Message Shark for a zoom link.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all.

Plenty of room for more if anyone else wants to join in. It's okay to not talk if you just want to listen.

[lagerstarfish]

good meeting again tonight - plenty of laughter mixed in with serious talking and listening

Thanks again for sorting this out, it's helped me hugely and I can't really express my thanks enough.

Thanks for saying so. I've now got a nice warm feeling inside and a smile on my face.

It's a pleasure and a privilege to see people putting in the effort and improving their situation.

[lagerstarfish]

Another excellent meeting of Black Dog Club.

Some big things to talk about as usual and plenty of laughs at the small things.

Thanks everyone.

[lagerstarfish]

Black Dog Club is still going well.

I'm always surprised how easily the conversation flows despite being on zoom.

Nice to see some good results from people's hard work.

Great to see so many smiles.

Good effort everyone!

[kelvin]

A big thumbs up to everyone involved.

[Ross Barker]

First time on the BDC last night and I want to thank Rob and Simon for setting this up. It's incredibly valuable being able to chat freely and openly with this friendly bunch.

It was good to see you Ross.

As you say, it's a good, friendly chat. It just seems to work.

Again, great contributions from everyone.

Thanks people 

[lagerstarfish]

Well, we had our first proper technical issues at tonight's meeting and we managed to get through it.

links not behaving as expected and then UKB dm system stopped us from sending messages 

fortunately this was just another of modern life's hurdles for the people of Black Dog Club to laugh at and support each other through

thanks again everyone 

[lagerstarfish]

Good chat this evening

It's always nice to see new people

Thanks everyone

In case there is anyone I haven't been in touch with - tonight's meeting isn't going ahead.

I think this is the first time we've missed?

See you all next week

[DAVETHOMAS90]

Wow.

That's a massive achievement Lagers - the commitment and longevity.

+1 to everyone involved
 

[Johnny Brown]

Indeed, props, amazing effort.

Amazing work Lagers and the BDC.

Turns out that it's good to talk.
