About Me
Hi, I am:
I'm a HUGE Coronation Street fan. I've been very lucky and walked on those famous cobbles in 1995, 2007 and 2008. I have met a number of the cast (46 of them) and those I haven't, I have written to for their autographs. I love to organize Corrie get togethers-or PINGS as they are known. I've had over 20 of them now. I have made a lot of very special friends from around the world because of Coronation Street. Corrie fans are the nicest people in the world!!
In Sept 2005 we had Darran who is an 'Extra' on Corrie attend a ping. It was an honour to have him and Eileen join us. Don't forget to look for our favourite extra each week having a pint in the Rovers or a full English at Roys.
We've had pings for Peter, Donna and Mark when they've been in town from the UK promoting their magazine at the British Isles show. We've also had pings for the CBC SHOPS & NESTLES.
The pings wouldn't be what they were without the amazing help from Sheila, we work well together. I'm so pleased I met Sheila a few years ago. We've become good friends away from Coronation Street too. (Go GENS Go!!!) Al also helps and friends are always offering to help.
I think Jack P Shephard is brilliant. I was really hoping to meet him in 2007 and 2008, but he never happened to be at Granada when I was. My friend Graham knew how much I wanted to meet him, so did this for me in July 2008.
Thanks Graham and Jack!!!!!
On Dec. 27, 2008 my friends Graham, Emma and Jez went to Liverpool as Rob James-Collier (Liam) was involved with a charity run. Thanks to Graham, Rob wished me a Merry Christmas.

+ The tours are closed to the public. I really wish I could help you get a tour, but unfortunately I can't. I've just been very lucky. Hopefully one day they will open up the tours again so everyone can walk on those famous cobbles.
++ I'm hoping my next trip to the UK will be in May 2010. (before then if possible!)
Thanks for dropping by. Please leave comments or a message and come back soon.
