Could we use this thread for voting for a venue please?
The choice is
a) Strada at Brondley Place
b) Museum/Gallery Edwardian Tearooms
c) House of Fraser restaurant
Single transferable vote, of course grin. Seriously, vote for 1 option and we will discard the bottom option after the first vote, if it is close and have a second vote between the top 2 options!
If you don't mind either way please say so.

Heavens forbid! Under the armpit shapers for me! And if it was a thong, who would recognise me? I'll go for a purple rinse!

Museum/ Gallery Edwardian tea rooms.

gracesmum Sat 04-Aug-12 21:33:57

Is that 13?

glitabo Sat 04-Aug-12 22:42:49

Looks like it, but aren't there some from the other thread that have not responded yet?

specki4eyes Sat 04-Aug-12 23:03:35

If my premium bonds come up and I can fly over 'cost no object' I will be there; and the art gallery gets my vote. SO COME ON ERNIE!!!! I wanna go to Brum and wear a purple ribbon and laugh an afternoon away. smile

We can't have 13 or we'll have to have a cardboard cutout of someone to make it 14. Mark Foster, perhaps wink.

I think there will be more than 13 because this thread kept disappearing yesterday so people won't have seen it.

Suggestion from someone who does not live in the Midlands and will not be there, so am just poking my nose in - the suffragettes wore green, purple and white to identify themselves and show solidarity. Green, purple and white for Gransnet? Or some subset of those?

susiecb Sun 05-Aug-12 09:38:44

House of Fraser restaurant or if not Strada - i think you know my feelings about an Edwardian Tearoom!smile

Oldgreymare Sun 05-Aug-12 09:45:05

Museum/gallery/Edwardian Tea Rooms .... pretty please!
Am I no. 15?
Only just found this thread, sorry!
Purple... yea!

Yummygran Mon 06-Aug-12 14:28:58

As I know all venues, I was going to vote for Strada, but the Edwardian Tea rooms seems to be favourite, so I am happy with that.......just one thing I can't find the date!

gracesmum Mon 06-Aug-12 14:36:16

Saturday 6 October

jeni Mon 06-Aug-12 14:45:42

Suffragettes were what I had in mind!

jeni Mon 06-Aug-12 14:46:44

What's happened to the emoticons?

bookdreamer Mon 06-Aug-12 18:02:42

6th October. This will be fine for me and will be there. Has a time been decided on yet?

grrrranny Mon 06-Aug-12 18:24:37

Don't think we have got a time fixed yet book - lunchtimeish at the moment. Yes Jeni I think suffragettes too so must have a look at the virtual tour again to check the location of railings.
