great talk last night, lots of interested people and I had a good push to get them to sign up
heard of a number of memorials we don't have, in churches, schools and boarded up memorial windows in former churches
as I am not available to 'collect' these, I did not take notes of memorials and locations but if no-one from the meeting joins to make the postings then whoever gets around to getting the more difficult memorials in South Ayrshire should certainly contact the society for detailed info

What about a preprinted form?
When I do talks I take blank forms for anyone at the talk to fill in or take away.
It contains fields from my database so easy to fill in. Pencils too......... _________________ Researching WWI info from Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, Kincardineshire & Morayshire. |

good ideas both, I was just a bit overwhelmed with so many queuing to speak to me individually at the end of the question session

I put out the forms away from where I am standing this cuts the crowd in two. Leaflets and other paperwork which are free to pick up so no pressure.
I ask for two tables as well as laptop one.
I put out books and photos etc saying they are for looking at so make sure it's near me maybe try out something similar next time. _________________ Researching WWI info from Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, Kincardineshire & Morayshire. |

Anne, the form sounds a good idea. Could you email a copy to me, I'd like to use that in future. |
