Young Old Blues Event on 1st Feb 2006!

Post by Great Plum »

Hi all,

I thought you might like to know about the Young Old Blues Event on the 1st Feb.

I can't go for two reasons:

1. It's the future Mrs Plum's birthday!

2. Jamie's WIne Bar is the most expensive bar I have ever been to!


Please forward this email on to anyone else who may be interested. If anyone would like to be added to the Young Old Blue circulation list, please email me at manager@chassociation.org with name, dates and House.

Is their a definition of a "young old blue" if not I suggest a cut off point of whatever age you are now plus ten years.

I was hoping...

AKAP - I think a 'young Old blue' includes those up to 30...

Is anyone going to this?

However, I don't know if you would be counted as 'Young' anymore! :wink:

Well, some members of this forum might consider me to be 'young', but I'm quite happy to admit to being middle-aged. Even so, an evening chez Jamie would still seem a bit steep........

Obviously we must be Ancient, but still got a long way to go before we match our RR & A Foundation!

That's why you need my definition (your own age + 10). Then we can all be young blues. Image

Rightly or wrongly, as I make up the guidelines, in the Old Blue I have included news on anyone who left after 1990 in the Young Old Blue section.
You can disagree or give me better definitions for use next time, but the deed is done.
I had always considered young as being an attitude rather than age related. For Young Old Blue meetings, I assumed it was where people from a similar generation and interests would get together to reminisce and catch up on things.
A bit like this forum.

I support what you are doing totally and agree with your thinking as you have outlined, I was just making an attempt at humour around the idea that we all think we are young, it's just the body not the mind that dictates otherwise.

Same here - just seems funny being classed as "old" when I'm "only" 36 :lol:

Context is everything. I am very active in my local Inner Wheel (womenfolk of Rotarians) and am considered young there. The silly thing is that I first joined it in Malaysia in 1978 and was average age for my club. Ever since then, including now, I have been below average age!
