A couple of us are meeting up for coffee on Wednesday 1st April (this is not an April fool's joke ) and would love it if other Gransnetters could join us.

We are meeting about 10.30 at The Meadows, Camberley in the M&S café. Please join us if you can. The Meadows is out of town and has plenty of parking.

A little far for me. I know it well though, DD and ex SiL used to live round the corner. I hope you can find a table!

Greenfinch Sun 22-Mar-15 17:02:24

Do you know nina I am slightly concerned about that. I have only been once before and couldn't believe how busy it was. I think I will gave to get there early and "lurk"

I know the Meadows well - bought a nice top there only last weekend. Sadly, I won't be visiting Sandhurst that week or I would gladly join you!

Greenfinch Sun 22-Mar-15 18:01:03

Do keep in touch anno.We meet quite frequently in this neck of the woods even if there are only a few of us and it would be lovely if you could join us sometime.

Deedaa Sun 22-Mar-15 22:10:02

Count me in Greenfinch That's the one I used to work in grin

Greenfinch Sun 22-Mar-15 22:43:16

Brilliant Deedaa ! I was going to pm you about it. Memory Lane for you then.

ninathenana Sun 22-Mar-15 23:31:55

Greenfinch just a suggestion, have you considered Tesco next door ? It has larger café but still convenient parking smile

Greenfinch Mon 23-Mar-15 08:19:01

Thanks for that ninathenana. We will keep that as our Plan B.

dustyangel Mon 23-Mar-15 17:14:33

I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it won't be too crowded at 10.30 ish. Tesco's is a good Plan B.

Deedaa Mon 23-Mar-15 21:23:04

The coffee's better in M&S (and I get discount grin ) Isn't there a time limit on parking on the Tesco side - remembering how long we usually end up talking!

Greenfinch Mon 23-Mar-15 22:57:06

That's decided it then Deedaa grin Yes, you are right about the time limit though I don't know how long it is. I always get lost in that huge car park even though I try to remember land marks. It's a good job my car is bright green!

I am almost never away but sod's Murphy's law means I am then. How annoying! Do save some chat for Cobham! flowers

Greenfinch Tue 24-Mar-15 13:45:13

Sorry you won't be able to join us Purpledaffodil. This looks like it will be quite a small gathering as Noodles can't make it either so there will be plenty of chat left for Cobham which I am really looking forward to as well as this one.

Purpledaffodil Tue 24-Mar-15 19:27:53

Thanks Greenfinch. Enjoy your small and select meetup. grin

Deedaa Tue 24-Mar-15 22:52:34

We'd better keep off the subject of Richard III Greenfinch or it will turn into a very small gathering grin

Greenfinch Wed 25-Mar-15 07:11:13

Oh dear Deedaa. yes indeed.grin

Greenfinch Wed 25-Mar-15 07:15:00

We may well be a small gathering but definitely not select Purpledaffodil grin. Actually we hope it won't be small either but there are only 3 of us at the moment. .Any more takers ?

Greenfinch Fri 27-Mar-15 08:48:00

Hopefully one or two others will join us on Wednesday. The Meadows is an ideal spot to do a bit of shopping. There is a huge car park for the 2 shops: Tesco and M&S superstores .Buses run there from the Camberley ,Yateley and other surrounding areas I don't know the details because I drive there.

dustyangel Fri 27-Mar-15 12:41:31

The buses going to Yateley or Bracknell from outside Camberley station all go via The Meadows. Free if you've got your bus pass. smile I think number 3 which is quite frequent is one of them, not sure about the others.
There is also a very big Next superstore, with a Costa Coffee shop. Just across the road. If we get bored with M & S (unlikely), the world or at least The Meadows, is our oyster. grin

Greenfinch Fri 27-Mar-15 20:39:24

Thanks for the info.*dustyangel*.I wasn't aware of "Next". See you on Wednesday smile

Deedaa Fri 27-Mar-15 21:17:10

Next has replaced the Homebase that was there.

Greenfinch Sun 29-Mar-15 16:13:05

Bump !

emc2 Sun 29-Mar-15 18:00:58

Greenfinch Sun 29-Mar-15 18:12:03

Brilliant emc2 ! It will be lovely to see you.smile
