When and I have put our heads together (metaphorically) and come up with the second week in November at the Coach House at the Trafford Centre which has suited us well in the past. Could you let us know if you're able to come and which day(s) would suit you best. As far as I know, I'm flexible.

Thanks, anno. It's a while since we all got together - was it spring? Looking forward to seeing everyone and there must be a few new Gransnet members around the Greater Manchester area who would like a warm welcome? Long, chatty lunch guaranteed smile

I will come if I can. Thursday is the best day for me but can rearrange work with some notice .

Bump again

Looking forward to another get to gather. I'm fairly ok so far in November. Work is usually a Thursday morning, so I could arrive a bit late if we go for a Thursday.

I would like to come too if I can. I normally work on a Thursday but if we can arrange a date some way ahead I will try to rearrange.

Any date for the meet up yet ?

Sorry - been ill this week, so haven't given it much thought. Would like to hear from some other North Westerners.

seasider Sun 19-Oct-14 12:15:53

Sorry to hear you have not been well Anno. I am having a knee operation on the 15th November so will not be driving for a few weeks after. If it is before that date I can probably work around work except for the 11th November as we are poppy selling that day . Littlemisssunshine may come too.

vegasmags Sun 19-Oct-14 13:05:32

I'd certainly be up for seeing everyone again - Thursday is usually a good day for me.

annodomini Sun 19-Oct-14 19:47:09

That's good news, vegas. seasider, I am sure we can do it before the 15th. How many of us could manage Thursday 13th November?

vegasmags Sun 19-Oct-14 19:51:23

That would be ideal for me anno

annodomini Sun 19-Oct-14 22:33:37

BUMP!

whenim64 Sun 19-Oct-14 22:40:01

Any more to join us? We can usually get a group of seven or eight together. Really looking forward to seeing everyone.

Not this time, but hopefully, when hubby gets more used to driving distances again, I may be able to persuade him to visit his family in Heywood and drop me off at one of your meet ups. Here`s hoping!

whenim64 Sun 19-Oct-14 22:51:03

That would be great, number. We'll hope for the best! smile

Nelliemoser Sun 19-Oct-14 23:44:36

Yes! It sounds OK to me so far.

MariClaire Mon 20-Oct-14 05:29:09

I would so love to join you, but I live in the US (and SouthWest at that!). Enjoy!!

GinnyTonic Mon 20-Oct-14 10:13:00

Hope everyone enjoys a great meetup. Sorry I cant make it - too much going on that week. I thought retirement was a rest - not this year !

whenim64 Mon 20-Oct-14 10:17:03

Good to hear from you, GinnyTonic. I hope we get to see you next time smile

whenim64 Mon 20-Oct-14 10:18:00

MariClaire if only we could meet up near you! smile

Iam64 Mon 20-Oct-14 14:07:18

Yes, have put the 13th November in my diary. It'll be good to meet up x

MariClaire Tue 21-Oct-14 06:08:47

whenim64 Wouldn't that be fun! smile

Sewsilver Fri 24-Oct-14 08:34:33

Yes I can make 13th of November too. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone. Please could we confirm times as soon as possible as I need to organise taking time off work?
