Devon meet up

Paignton/Torbay meet up: will be in the Paignton library cafe at 11:00 on Tuesday 5th March.
All welcome.

Oh dear.... I posted on 3 threads about how nice it was to see new faces at the Torbay/Paignton meet up, but obviously not this one.

I don't get notifications for this thread, so please pm me if you want a response, incase I don't see it. (Which I probably won't.)

All welcome, though it was a bit hectic in the library cafe yesterday so I shall explore the idea of meeting in a quieter place.

I am so glad the group is beginning to gather momentum. See you all in March I hope.

I'm happy to say that it was great to meet up with some other Gransnetters today - and I was very relieved to find that I wasn't alone after all.

Just checking that the meeting in Paignton tomorrow is still going ahead? I don't want to arrive only to find I'm in a group of one!

Miepl Perhaps I could pick you up? Would you be able to get into my ordinary hatchback car alright? And could the chair go in the boot ok? I'll be driving from the other side of Newton Abbot to Paignton, so are you along that way somewhere? I will gladly collect you if that helps.
As I said, my grandaughter is here next week. She arrives on Sunday 3rd, so I will chat to her about our schedule and hope to keep Tuesday free.

Unfortunately getting to Paignton for me means about 3 hours on two buses, so rather impractical for me in my chair; I'd need to leave at 7am to get there! And then back again. It's only about 8 miles too - quite possibly less.

Persistentdonor... Hi. I lived in Torquay for 50 years, but am now the other side of Newton Abbot. I would love to be allowed to join in your meeting in Paignton on 5th February and hope to do so. Trouble is, my grandaughter is coming over from Ireland that very week for 5 days, so this is a problem. Nevertheless, I will try to make it.

Goodness! Was it that long ago? It was a good place to meet.

Don't think it does Atqui. I remember meeting you, Ariadne, GA, Maniac, Grannylin, Oldgreymare and others? at the Old Mill about 5 years ago. GA and I met for a very pleasant tea in November, there being no other interested parties! I only 'do' Devon meetups as my DD lives in Exmouth although I have travelled in the past from Scotland and now from North Wiltshire! Exeter seems a pretty central and convenient place for those in the south Devon area to meet ......

I didn’t know the Exeter group still existed. I went a few years ago

I'm not in the Paignton area, but I see the train station is only a couple of minutes away from your meeting place, so I'll do my best to join you, barring emergencies.

Calling any Grans in the Torbay area.
If you want to join us on Tuesday 5th February at the Paignton Library coffee shop, we'll be there from 11:00 ish for a couple of hours.

It's great that the Exeter meet up group continues to thrive.

Bump

Sounds like a reasonable plan to me Marmight.
Any others want to join us?

If its just the 2 of us and you can manage Exmouth, that would be great. I'm planning to drive there friday morning hopefully arriving 11.30 ish depending on M4/5 traffic ..
If others decide to join us in the meantime, I can stop off in Exeter.

Okay - so it's only me and Marmight for our meet up so far. The plan is to get together this coming Friday (19th) and I'm happy to meet in either Exeter or Exmouth.

Yes, that's still fine Marmight - I've marked the date in my diary and shall look forward to it.

GA are you still up for a meeting on the 19th? Anyone else interested?

Friday 19th suits me Marmight. The Wonderful Man will be in a remote African township then so I may need something to distract me.

Probably not until October now. Possibly friday 19th .... I was there a lot during the summer on GP duty so taking a rest! September is fairly booked up . If you decide on a date I could possibly work round it .

No - sorry - it had completely slipped my mind.

Anyone got a date in mind? When are you next in Exmouth Marmight?

Hello - just wondering did anyone around Exeter meet up? Are there more planned?

I'm in Exmouth quite frequently. It'd be good if I could synchronise a future meeting in Exeter. Would be good to catch up with GA again. Is Oldgreymare still on GN and Maniac?
I'll keep an eye out for dates

Couldn't make the last one but I would like to meet up sometime.

I live very near Exeter, any more meet ups planned?
