Am I the only Gran in Devon?

I will be staying with my daughter in Exeter while waiting to move house (in Devon) and would like to meet up with other gransnetters. Will follow posts for a meeting.

Thanks Bathsheba.

Hi kathsue. I couldn't make the last meet up in Exeter either, but there was mention, on a different thread, of another get together on 9th July.

have a look on this thread

Hi I'd love to meet other gransnetters in Devon. I'm in Plymouth but quite fancy a day out in Exeter. I couldn't make the earlier meet-ups, are there any more planned?

Hi everyone I've just remembered gransnet as have not been here for a very long time! Found this thread and we are retiring to Devon next year hopefully buying a bungalow or small house near Dawlish or Teignmouth area. We have a caravan there atm which we go to almost every month. I do have one good friend in the area but more would be welcome and would love to meet up with some local ladies. Feel free to message or chat xxxx

See you on Monday.

Hello all, Monday is usually a work day, but I might be able to swap it?

Hope you have a great meet up - Exeter is such a nice place.

Hi again ladies. Just a week to go until our planned Devon Grans meet in Exeter. I am looking forward to it and definitely planning to go. It would be good to get an idea from other Grans to confirm who is definitely planning to be there next Monday so we can look out for each other around 12.30 in the Mill on the Exe. If for any reason I know beforehand that I can't make it I will put a message on but not anticipating any problems.

Looking forward to it

Hello Ladies, well it looks like we are going to go for lunchtime Monday May 14th this time and it will be nice to see to see everyone who can make it. Maybe anybody else who would like to be involved but can't make this date could suggest something in the future? Will do as suggested and have my smiley face on and be near the door.

grannyactivist8 *phoenix works part time. but I can never remember the days.

Please don’t change the date of the meet up- I’ve just booked my train ticket!

Sadly I’m not in Devon, but the meet ups I’ve been to suggested a scarf tied to a handbag. But as GA has said, you can usually spot the GN contingent??????

I shall almost certainly be away visiting family overseas but count me in for the next one!

12.30 is good for me. I can't remember having any sort of sign or signal at the last meet up - by the time I arrived there were already a couple of smiley women chatting at a table and I think I just boldly went up and asked the question.
It's good for her, but it's a pity that Phoenix is working now and won't be able to join us. Anyone else in the South West who fancies a trip to Exeter? The place we're planning to meet is quite close to the railway station.

I can make 14 May too! I haven't checked the train times but will get there for 12.30 if that's what you decide.

Hi Yes ladies, looking good so far. I can probably get there from around 12.30. Hope it will indeed turn out to be a treat grannyactivist. I did have a personal message from another GN member but the text was blank, wonder if it was someone new thinking of coming along? For anyone who has attended a meet up before can you suggest how we recognise each other, or maybe we can meet nearesr the entrance door - with or without red roses in our buttonholes or purple or red hats on:-) I have also discovered a Meet up thread on the Forums so may post on there to direct anyone else interested to this section. Lookinf forward to it already.

Excellent! So that's 3 of us so far

And yet another from East Devon here.
I can manage my diary with enough advance notice and the 14th of May seems particularly good for me as The Wonderful Man will be away in Greece that week so I think I deserve a bit of a treat.

I should be able to do that. I take it we're talking a lunch time meet-up, say around 1.00pm?

Hi Everyone, I too am retired so can be flexible on days. What about settling on a Monday, (things are sometimes quieter at the start of the week), as has already been mentioned, perhaps in May and see how we go from there? The Mill on the Exe is a good idea and a lovely spot. How does Monday 14th May sound, the one after the Bank Holiday?

If we set a date, hopefully enough of us can make it. We’ll probably never find a day which suits everyone.

I’m another Plymouth gransnetter, although my grandchildren are in Bristol. Would be interested in meeting up with others in the area

There was an Exeter meet up a few years ago at The Mill on the Exe which was convenient for the station and for parking.
