2014 Meet Up

(43 Posts)

Hi everybody

It's a little early in the year I know, but let's have something to look forward to and plan a meet up? Perhaps we could find out how many of you are up for this to start with, then we can decide on when and where. It need only be informal, over coffee and cake somewhere, just to have a chat and a chuckle smile. Don't worry about what we'll talk about, we're all Somerset Gransnetters, which is a good start wink.

I know much will depend on when and where, but please just show your interest at this stage and we'll try and suit as many people as possible cupcake

Old greymare ,Florrie 64 and rootin tootin How about a meeting in Shepton Mallett? We could establish a base group in NE Somerset and then perhaps venture out together to other meetings in the county. I live near the Showground. There should be places in SM. I only know Kilver Court.

Hi GrannyPDilly, we're actually going to meet At Yandles in Martock. Do you know that area at all? Our planned date is Thursday 10th April, 11.30am. Have a peep at the Spring Meet up 2014 Forum posting and follow the link on Yandles for place details. Hope you can make it.

I live in the Polden Hills between Glastonbury and Bridgwater, are you meeting up around here? Although I do have grandchildren a lot during the forthcoming Easter Hols.

Hi all - back from Ireland in 10 days time so hopefully will be able to join you . I'm sure that between us we can keep the nine year old amused or maybe the other way round?!

Evenstar Wed 05-Mar-14 13:14:23

I'm in Taunton but Home school so would have a 9 year old tagging along which may or may not be a problem smile

Oldgreymare Tue 04-Mar-14 19:46:41

Please avoid school holidays Sandy family due over Easter!
Hello gimmer racing at Wincanton on Thurs (watching not racing!!!!!)

gimmer Tue 04-Mar-14 18:35:44

rootintootin; I live near Evercreech. Not too far from Wincanton. Would like to meet?

Sandy217 Tue 04-Mar-14 10:15:14

great! I'll suggest one for April then and see how we get on smile

Hi Sandy, I am up for meeting in a months time or so. Got a couple of digs coming up but don't know when but if I am home then will definitely come. x

Sandy217 Thu 20-Feb-14 09:30:52

Not to worry smile, I'm like that myself at the moment with appointments coming out of my ears! Let's hope in a month's time we are more settled, the weather's better and Spring is in the air!

Oldgreymare Wed 19-Feb-14 23:39:32

Hello Sandy, sorry I was a bit pre-occupied with things medical and am only just surfacing. A meeting in a month's time sounds good to me.

Sandy217 Wed 19-Feb-14 20:21:31

Hi everyone. I've decided to cancel tomorrow's meet (Thursday 20th) as it doesn't look like anyone will be going. Will leave it a month and try again.

Take care all

Sandy

Sandy217 Thu 13-Feb-14 10:19:46

Oh crumbs - is there anyone left then? Goodness, it's hard lol. Would the Thursday 20th be any better then? No point in going on my own smile xx

Oldgreymare Wed 12-Feb-14 09:56:04

Sorry, I shall be in Shepton Mallett hospital that day for an investigation, so won't be able to offer you a lift either Florrie.
Have a lovely time xx

Sandy217 Wed 12-Feb-14 08:32:05

Hey ladies ... made a decision on Tuesday 18th February, 11.30am. Look forward to see you there!!

Sandy217 Fri 07-Feb-14 13:57:47

OK, so it's been pointed out to me that the week I've suggested is half term week and some people have grandkids staying etc, so ..... last move - to the first week in March, either Tuesday 4th or Thursday 6th, 11.30am. Any preference please? Let's hope we can settle for this week now smile

Sandy

rootintootin Thu 06-Feb-14 19:11:05

I live near Wincanton - anyone nearby

Sandy217 Thu 06-Feb-14 11:28:11

We've hit on a date hiccup. Keeping the venue the same, i.e. Yandles of Martock, who can make the following week ...

say, Tuesday 18th OR Thursday 20th February, 11.30am

Please indicate your preference.

Thanks

Sandy

Sandy217 Sun 02-Feb-14 12:11:29

Okay, Yandles of Martock it is then. Thursday 13th February, Coffee shop 11.30am. Look forward to seeing you all then smile

gimmer Sat 01-Feb-14 20:32:08

I am OK for both dates and venues. Slightly fqvour Martock.

SueD Thu 30-Jan-14 15:18:04

Afraid I shall have to opt out of this one as we travel to Ireland for 4 weeks that day. Fingers crossed the sea is calm! Hope to make the next meet up. so as much advance notice as possible would be good please.

Have fun ladies! smile

Sandy217 Thu 30-Jan-14 13:14:51

Feb 13th is fine for me and I have to admit I do like Yandles in Martock wink but am happy to go with the flow. I've not been to Brimsmore but I believe you're right on the location. Let's give it until midday tomorrow (Friday 31) in case we have any more input, then make the decision. A newsletter will be going out early next week so it would be good to advertise it in there smile

I would prefer 13th Feb, probably at Martock, but this is weather-dependant.
My computer won't let me open your 'blued bits' but I have had a quick look via Google.
Is Brinsmore on way into Yeovil from the 303?

Oldgreymare Thu 30-Jan-14 07:34:04

Florrie I've PMed you!
