Hello from Abingdon

thank you I am not very good on the computer hope I will be able to find the link

Hi claudy. There's an active thread that's fallen off the bottom of the page headed Meet up in Oxford, where a bunch of wonderful Oxford area GN'rs are planning to meet up . I'll bump it for you....

may be you could give us a time date and place and see how many of us turn up I for one would support if given a few weeks notice

Hello claudy. I'm still here! This thread keeps coming and going, but a few meet-ups have happened in between. I live in Abingdon and I know there are a few of us around this area - but trying to get us all together is akin to organising a proverbial in a brewery! (not Morland's, that closed years ago:-)

Hi I live in Wantage and would love to meet up with other Oxfordshire Members

Thank you for your encouragement Shysal.
Bohemian and I met for coffee last week, and
agreed, after reading posts from the past, that a thriving local
group was a distinct possibility.
We became a group of three yesterday, and I'll give it another
week or so, (just in case more Oxfordians / Abingdonians make themselves known. ) I'll then begin to sort out dates for a second, larger get-together.
Of course, we would be truly delighted if you felt able to join
us.
Very best wishes,
Leonora.

Don't be intimidated Leonora, it is a question which comes up automatically when a thread hasn't been used for a while.

I live in Wheatley, but am not very sociable, living up to my name!

As requested in today's GN update, I had another try to contact local Gransnetters.
The last entry was for April 2014.
It would appear that a few kindred spirit's had found each other, and skipped away into the sunset.
I had tried on several occasions to find someone from my area, (Abingdon)but found the final editor's note slightly intimidating.
It read, 'This is /was a dormant thread. Do you really want to reanimate it?'
So I slunk away, with my tail between my legs. ?

I live in Steventon, equidistant from Abingdon and Wantage. I have a car and can always give someone, or up to three local Gransnetters(Abingdon/Wantage) a lift. I have no regular commitments but I am away quite a bit as we have a house in France and DC/DGC in York and Hertfordshire.

I love The Lamb at Buckland, we go there several times a year.

Hi, I am a new member, I live in Abingdon .

Hi again Finch. Wallingford is no good for me I'm afraid, but hope you manage to find other people who can get there.

Wallingford would be perfect for me as it is on the bus route from Reading to Oxford

Are all you G'netters still around? I am near Abingdon too, and also near Witney, Oxford, Wantage. Does anyone want to meet up for coffee?

Hi there, don't know where Buckland is!! I'm in Oakley which is just in Bucks and have a car so can get around and maybe pick others up!!

Hi Bohemian

Would really love to meet you, but guess what! I haven't got a car either!
One of the chosen few round here! I could get a friend to take me to bus-stop to get to Oxford but there is no bus link between Abingdon and Buckland.

As I am partly disabled life has become more restricted. A good reason for social-networking, but not as good as actually meeting up! If you have a friend who could bring you I would be happy to offer you both lunch, otherwise I will plan for Oxford. I have a hospital appt on 20/5 which may lead to surgery to make me more mobile but not being given too much encouragement!

Do you use Facebook? My name is Susan Bittleston and I do use my FB page a lot!

Thanks for reply!

Susan

Hey scorpio - I'm up for a trip to Buckland - if there's buses that run out that way from Abingdon. The Lamb sounds good to me. (where the hell is everyone?:-)

What about a get-together in Buckland? Either at my place or at 'The Lamb at Buckland'? Please suggest dates.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are out for me because I have appts am. and run the after school art group at the village school. 'The Lamb' serves good food but one can just have a snack or a drink if better for you. Even a drink of water! It is very dog-friendly too!

Really hope to get some replies and let me know if Buckland is too difficult. Unfortunately the only transport I have is an all-terrain mobility scooter. great fun! - but has its limitations!

Abingdon's not far from Wallingford JudithG. I was there the other week - I think it's a lovely place - though not as lovely as Abingdon, of course.

Hello, I am in Wallingford, anyone local to me?

Waaahaayyy! We have lift-off

Hello, I live in Wantage.

Hi there, I live in Didcot....

Would love to hear from members all over Oxfordshire. Where are you all? Love to hear your ideas or discuss your points of view - on more or less anything!

Hi baggpus - I live in Abingdon Off Ock Street...where are you?
