As a fairly new member myself, I can understand how difficult it is to "jump in and have fun". The MLUKFC is a big happy family and although that is a wonderful thing sometimes it can be daunting (like gatecrashing a family party) but believe me, everybody makes you feel welcome and part of the family once you make yourself known.

It is lovely to be welcomed into the club but then you have to put a little bit of effort in to introduce yourselves to the other members. Once over the shyness it's worth it believe me. Good people, good laughs, good fun.

So come on, lets hear from you all.

welcome to all our new members - jump in - enjoy

plukie, I was very interested to read your thoughts, never thought that it could be daunting because we were too friendly :? although now I have thought about i can see your point, people might think it was too tightly knit?

I sincerely hope all new member take plukie's advise and pluck up the courage(if needed) and join in.

I really like the picture of MLUKFC being a big happy family, but dont forget families have their own up's and downs and if anyone's worried about gatecrashing the party.............believe me as long as you bring a bottle thats fine :wink:

Welcome Biggie - Hope you enjoy yourself - happy posting

Hello to all the new members!!!

It is true original sin. I'm also fairly new to the site and the way you all knew each other was slightly off putting. I'm not saying you should change of course. I more saying to new members to not worry. Just post and add your comments and you'll begin to settle in nicely.

Thanks Crystal Eyes - Its good to know how things appear.
are you glad you joined the party? I'm pleased you stayed :wink:

A big welcome to all newbies, please find a spot and introduce yourselves

' Course I'm glad I joined. I love reading all your comments and I check the site regulary. Hey! I just noticed I'm now a senior loafer! My god, I didn't realise I done that many posts. Guess I got kinda wrapped up.

Okay, now we have the proove, Dottie is a vampire!!! :evil:

Oh no it wasn't meant to sound like that :lol:

Yeah right dottie.... heheh... think we have lost a lot of members now :P

Maybe if I changed my avatar to an angel (Um no cann't do that) I just think I'll have to pay a visit to the dentist to have my fangs out, and then arrange for some sunshine conveniently to fall on my body....

Sorry Dottie - No dentist talk here - i expressly forbid it!!!

I'm psychologically scarred since my last trip to the dentist, and any mention of them sends me into a relapse... 8O

Oh Heat I'm so sorry, I wouldn't remind you of that scene with Dustin Hoffman and Sir Laurence Oliver for all the tea (teeth) in China :lol:

Welcome Thoy, have a great time here - happy posting :)

Please don't feel you have to explain what scene you mean. I too have been greatly mentally scarred by certain trips to the dentist's

I noticed you were saying that not a lot of new members come on
this part, well it took me a little while of browsing around the forum
before I found it.
maybe if you changed the title to, welcome new members ?
sorry for being presumptious,butting in, its just that I know what its like
being the newbie....
