Who is interested in meeting round about 7th September?

If you are on Facebook the Gransnet Edinburgh Calendar is at https://www.facebook.com/GransnetEdinburgh/app_101709316537832

No can do - not back from school duties until 14th September

Elegran Thu 21-Aug-14 12:29:57

Shame, Marmight Perhaps another meetup shoehorned into later in September?

Four possible names for Sept (dates permitting) Ariadne, Moomin, Ayse, Elegran

Marelli Thu 21-Aug-14 12:32:24

I'm ok for September. smile I'll have a look at the Facebook calendar.

Marelli Thu 21-Aug-14 12:34:11

At present, I can fit in anytime.

baubles Thu 21-Aug-14 17:01:32

I can do 7th Sept smile

Can't do 15th or 26th. I'll have a peek at the calendar too.

moomin Thu 21-Aug-14 17:33:11

7th Sept is OK for me Elegran, Sundays tend to be mainly free for me

Elegran Thu 21-Aug-14 18:05:07

Thanks, Baubles Moomin I don't know for certain that it will be the 7th until I hear from Ariadne exactly when she will be coming up here. She has not come back on the thread, so I think I shall try a PM.

Elizabeth1 Thu 21-Aug-14 18:15:03

I'm free on the 7th September or anytime up until my new wee baby is due smile

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 11:55:23

Remember, this may be on a different day round about the 7th depending on when Ariadne is on her way North!

Names now are ?Ariadne?, Moomin, Ayse, Elegran, Marelli, Baubles, Moomin, Elizabeth1

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 13:26:29

I PMed Ariadne, and her holiday schedule has changed so that she will not be able to come after all, so the line-up so far is Moomin, Ayse, Elegran, Marelli, Baubles, Moomin, Elizabeth1

September 7th is a Sunday and travel could be a problem. Does that alter anyone's plans?

And are we meeting for lunch, afternoon tea, or other?

dustyangel Fri 22-Aug-14 15:17:35

Is Moomin twins?hmm

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 17:02:00

moomin Fri 22-Aug-14 19:51:08

Fortunately only one of me

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 20:00:47

You can have two helpings of everything if you like, moomin (but you can pay twice when the bill comes too)

Elegran Sun 24-Aug-14 14:13:29

So now we need to decide where and when we are to meet on 7th September, and whether we want a lunch, or afternoon tea, or what?

Answers on a postcard, please, to this thread (and only write on one side of the paper)

Elizabeth1 Tue 26-Aug-14 18:56:08

Afternoon tea please brew

Marelli Tue 26-Aug-14 19:29:33

Afternoon tea, too, please brewcupcakegrin

Elegran Tue 26-Aug-14 19:45:13

Thanks ,* Marelli, Elizabeth1* Any more preferences?

moomin Tue 26-Aug-14 22:19:10

Yes, afternoon tea sounds frightfully civilised and I'm all for that!

Elegran Tue 26-Aug-14 22:24:59

"Ladies who tea" doesn't have the same ring as "Ladies who lunch" but there will be cupcake cupcake cupcake
And wine too.

Elizabeth1 Wed 27-Aug-14 07:45:51

It's a good job my diet starts the following week otherwise I'd just be a hermit for far too long wink must get into my bikini for November you know sunshine

Elegran Wed 27-Aug-14 23:18:34

Can I check again that no-one is going to have any problems travelling to Edinburgh on Sunday September 7th? Remember that timetables are different on a Sunday.

moomin Thu 28-Aug-14 09:26:23

Elegran, sorry but I'm going to have to bow out of this meet-up sad as a family commitment has come up for that weekend.

But I'm up for the December theatre get-together!
