Newcastle Meet up

I hesitate to say this, but I am afraid I might not be able to make the 28th February. Something has come up which I might not be able to get out of, so may I suggest that Glass makes a decision about where you should meet and then, if I can come, I'll just have to cope or not (perhaps with help from my husband). I am so sorry about this - feel really embarrassed under the circumstances.

Sorry!

Thankyou everyone, I will keep looking at this thread.

That would be great, absent Meantime have fun planning your meet up, everyone.

baubles I'm not going until May. I reckon we can fit in a bon voyage absent lunch before then. Hope so.

Right its up to you all to decide what we are doing. I will go with the flow

baubles what a shame it would have been great to see you, but Athens sounds very tempting. Still its a while before absent absconds so you may get another chance.

Aaaah what a shame Baubles

clockwork mouse Absent will be disappointed.

baubles

I would have loved to join you all and see absent before she goes, however I have a previous engagement in Athens, so can't make it.

gillybob I am not a clockwork mouse.

I'll go with the flow, probably come in by train but am ok to walk to rendezvous. Just really have to cater for those with mobility issues I think, or specific culinary dislikes? All suggestions so far sound pretty good

Anyone have anymore ideas?

It can be a problem when your memory starts plays tricks gillybob

Bloody hell I am beginning to doubt my own memory now Glass and Absent

As I recall you did have pizza Absent washed down by one or two Three or four bottles of wine water

Who would wind you up Absent?

The Broad Chare is just over the way from the car park but slightly further than the rest but they do a snack menu and lunch menu. It does seem to be well used on a lunch time with people from the Courts which are just opposite.

The Broad Chare

Broad Chare is close to a car park too, that is a pub and a restaurant.

Too right! Looking forward to meeting you pp.

The more the merrier pinkprincess

Hello pinkprincess it is ages since you were last on but its good to see you back. We would love it if you could join us all, its not decided where we are going yet but the date is 28th February, so keep looking for details or if I don't see you around I will pm you.

Hello everyone.

I have not been on Gransnet for ages and have just seen this thread.
I would love to join you all.I live in Newcastle, and have five grandchildren.

Yes we did and yes you had pizza, Gilly and I had pasta.

I had pizza last time – I remember that , although probably not much else. Can't wait to do it all again. Didn't we have fun?

We didnt have fish fingers did we GILLY

Oh gillybob What did I do? What fish finger sandwiches? I CAN'T REMEMBER. HELP!

If you are winding me up, I might cross you off my list for my goodbye absent lunch – and trust me, you wouldn't want to miss that.

So looking forward to meeting up again.

Yrghhhh no salt and vinegar.
