Anybody up for a North West meet up before we get busy with the Summer holidays?

rubylady Tue 24-May-16 21:55:15

Sounds like a good idea. I will be up for it if things settle health wise. smile

Any preference for location ? Happy to travel

rubylady Thu 26-May-16 23:03:53

I'm sorry but my plans will be put on hold for a week or two at least. I feel like a wet rag so am going to concentrate on getting better. I will meet up when feeling ok though. smile

No problem Ruby I was thinking maybe early July . Any other North West grans interested ?

seasider Sun 29-May-16 10:32:01

Are all the Nor th West Gransnetters on holiday?

rubylady Sun 29-May-16 22:14:22

Lol, it does seem like it is just you and me seasider. If it's July then we can have a pre birthday meet up, it's in July. Where abouts are you, generally? I'm in Bolton.

But yes, there must be more GNers in t'North. smile

Hi Ruby we did meet in Bolton once before at a pub just off the motorway which seemed quite convenient. I am in Blackpool. We usually have some ladies from the Manchester area so Bolton could be a good location. Can you suggest somewhere . Thursdays are good for me but I can re-arrange work with notice .

rubylady Mon 30-May-16 00:10:28

Leave it with me, I'll have a think. Any day is good for me providing I'm ok on that day but I have the car now so travelling to any location is sorted. I'm looking forward to meeting you. smile

Can I come? I'm in Preston. Any day except Wednesday is usually okay for me.

seasider Mon 30-May-16 08:56:47

Be great if you could Nana and I am sure we can round up some others. When is your birthday Ruby? Shall we pick a date around then?

rubylady Tue 31-May-16 02:50:48

23rd, seasider when I turn 21! grin Of course Nana please come along. That's three of us, anymore? X

seasider Tue 31-May-16 22:31:49

How about Thursday 21st July ? Let me know if you find a venue Ruby. Near the motorway or accessible from the railway station would probably be best or a pub with parking.

Hi
Saw this post and would love to join you ?I'm in Preston

seasider Tue 31-May-16 23:52:12

Be great to see you Carol. Looks like it will be near Bolton. Ruby is looking for a venue.

Is a garden centre restaurant ok? Does everyone have cars to get there? There is a lovely one near me, well, a little drive away but it does great food and drink (non alcoholic) and has some lovely things to have a browse round too. What do you think? The 21st is great. When do the children break up for long holidays? smile

Hi 2 weeks today I shall be a resident in the NW!

rubylady Wed 01-Jun-16 15:24:24

Welcome Babs, we're not a bad lot! grin Whereabouts will you be locating to? flowers

Nana3 Wed 01-Jun-16 21:10:54

Sounds like we are hatching a plan. It's exciting. Schools are closing on various days w/b 18 July, but any day except Weds that week is okay for me. Thursday 21 is good. smile

rubylady Thu 02-Jun-16 01:24:56

Or we can do it the week before if we want a child free catch up but in the garden centre there is usually toddlers which are well behaved anyway. Any time is good for me. smile

Nana3 Thu 02-Jun-16 21:03:55

I remember you posting about your move north Babs I hope all goes well for you.

I am flexible on dates and the garden centre sounds fine. Will they be ok with us having around chatting as Gransnet lunches can be quite long!
