Local Birmingham Meetup

Think this a great idea. Edwardian tea rooms would do for a start.

Definitely worth a try! I'm never comfy in the Costa at the library but love the Edwardian Tearoom at BMAG.

ps Daytime please!

Weekday would suit me; planning a trip over to Birmingham soon and love the Museum/Art Gallery.

Weekdays best for me though occasional weekends also possible.

Elrel; I've sent you a pm [when we arrange meet ups we tend to send personal details...mobile phone numbers etc by pm].

I am new here, would love to join a daytime meet up in Birmingham.

I should be in Brum on 18th August cranberry. I've had no reply from Elrel or Luckylegs though .

August 18th would be fine with me if it was in the morning.

Tegan, would you have far to travel to Birmingham? if so, maybe morning would not be convenient....also love the Museum and Art gallery.

How about Monday 17th in the [early'ish] afternoon?

Looking forward to meeting people in Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery on Monday 17th. The Edwardian Tea Room has plenty of space, and tables! I've only ever seen it very busy at lunch times and that varies from day to day.

I'll keep bumping this thread up in case anyone wants to join us .

Monday 17th is fine with me, looking forward to it!

I think I can make 17th and would love to meet you all and meet Tegan again.

That's great! I need to check out train times but if you lot are more local then you can sort yourselves out timewise and I'll turn up #notpassingthebuckbytheway Having just spent the day at Mr Straws house I'm even more determined to get to grips with my Birmingham roots as my grandparents had a shop in Birmingham at one time [obviously not a successful one or we wouldn't have been poor as church mice].

I'm going to pm my mobile/phone number to Elrel now; the reason being that my computer is playing up and I'm trying to install a new browser and it could all go horribly wrong [I may log off and not be able to get back on . If it does I'll be at the tea rooms for 11 or 12 on 17th.

Sorry to be a pain, this is all new to me, I see that Tegan says 11 or 12 on 17th, so do I aim for 11? if the tea room is busy, how do you recognise each other?

cranberry I wondered that too. Please could whomever is mainly organising this let us all know, maybe by a pm?

Was just going to bump this up. I was worried that my computer was going to stop working [I changed the browser] so I sent Elrel my mobile number and landline just in case [it obviously still works...just]. Because I'm travelling from Derby I'm not so sure about my arrival time, although I'll obviously get there as early as possible, so it might be better if you three arrange a more definate time if you're more Brum based. I'm not sure that I can take my rucksack round the gallery/museum [I'm staying over so will have to bring overnight stuff with me] so will probably be the only person in the tearooms with a rucksack! I'll pm'y'all.

Have we agreed a time?

No.....Shall we say 11.30am at the entrance? does that suit everyone?

Fine by me.

Don't wait for me if I'm not there at 11.30; I'll see you in the tea room. I should be there but haven't got the timetable for the trains yet.
