They have computers there, or at least online book selling [groan] emoticon

Amazon Basin?

I meant I'm not going to do a Captain Oates!! .....Message to self "preview all messages before hitting post!"

Will do No, I'm not going to a Captain Oates; I hope it will be a little hotter, albeit remote!!

"I'm going where there are no computers............................"[scared] emoticon!! Sounds like "I may be gone some time..." Enjoy!

Thanks gracesmum and good - hope events in my life mean i can make it. I'll link up with AlisonMA who I met for coffee in M&S before she went off on her travels. btw gracesmum I may be off the radar for a few weeks as I'm going where there are no computers next week for a couple of weeks. Will log into GN on my return

No I've looked again and there's definitely a eGJ so thatmakes 19 - great!.

Could be.......where did I get eGJ? Stand up eGJ if you exist! Otherwise, it's eGM- sorry!

Have I missed anybody out?

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.

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

What's happened to the emoticons?

Suffragettes were what I had in mind!

Saturday 6 October

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!

Adding yummygran to the list - that OK with you yum??

I'm coming to the Victorian tea rooms in the hope that its like Betty's!!!!xxx

Looking good

So 16 in all, as long as we can persuade susiecb to come and play.
Have I missed anyone out?

Jeni have sent you a message re meeting up

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

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

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?

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