Bluewater meet up anyone?

So sorry all, have MRI scan tomorrow, had no internet access for a week. can we re arrange?

Oh what a shame fluffy, not sure any one is coming actually, may be sat there all on my lonesome ;)

O no I have just seen this again and I am working on 5th June - hope you all have a lovely time and will try to come if you have another one x

Oh that is a shame Grannyeggs. Never mind, if it is a success we will arrange another one xx

Would have loved to have come but am away in June.

That is it Lindy. Our GN recognition strategy is a scarf tied to our handbag. Good thinking x

Rather than looking like we are off to a wedding with a carnation, why not each tie a scarf to our handbag? x

That would be great fluffy. It is 11am in the Costa at the back of Waterstones. I am looking for suggestions as to how we recognise each other. Any ideas short of a carnation behind our ear ;)

Hi I might be able to get to blue water 5 th June - I don't drive either but might be able to get a friend to bring me - will watch space to see if definitely happening/ time/ whereabouts etc x

I am the GN Colchester editor and will link this thread to my forum.
I cannot make that date, sorry.
I am afraid that most North Essex people go to Westfield Stratford now and use Lakeside and Bluewater less.

Looking forward to meeting you Lindy x

will be there 5th June, meet up or not, but will have 3 year old grandson in tow; hope that is ok?
Look forward to seeing anyone there, how will we identify ourselves?

nanapug Essex has a couple of GNLocal areas with editors in place. Might be worth contacting them and seeing if you can combine efforts?
Thurrock and Colchester are the 2 that are active.
I used to pop over to Bluewater occasionally when I lived in Mid-Sussex, but am an extra 20 miles away now (and work on a Wednesday anyway).
Hope you get a decent response

Right ladies, how about Wednesday 5th June for a Bluewater meet up? There is quite a quiet Costa at the back of Waterstones, so shall we meet in there at 11am? Any ideas on how we could identify the GN table? I will get there in plenty of time and try to bag a couple of tables, but if you are thinking of coming could you please say so I know roughly how many tables to bag!! Also does any one know if there another way we can advertise this on here to make sure lots of people see it? All suggestions welcomed xx

That has decided me Lindylooby. As far as I am concerned GN is all about support and friendship, so I will sort a date in the next couple of days and post on here. Looking forward to meeting you xx

I have just lost my husband, live in Gravesend and would love a meetup atBluewater if it is going ahead?

If anyone can get to Woolwich in the badlands of SE London there is a bus which goes to Bluewater. With the Freedom Pass!

Where abouts are you Eloethan? May be there is someone who could give you a lift. The more the merrier x

Would be nice but too awkward for me to get to as I don't drive.

No nanos8 there was not a meet up as I didn't think there was enough support for it, but Sweetpea2 has kindly been in touch and shown an interest again so I am revisiting the idea so will definitely be sorting it. Watch this space ;)

Would love to have come to this meet at Bluewater.
Did it happen and if it did was it good?
We left for a holiday on the 6th March and I didn't pop in much before.

I think we have about 6 or 7 so far, so not yet masses nanapug

Looking forward to seeing how your meet-up goes, and don't forget the photos!

This is depressing, come on you Kent and Essex peoples!! The North West are having a get together and there are masses going. We need to be careful or we will prove people right about unfriendly Southerners ;)
Sweetpea2 and petallus do you know of any more Kent/Essex people on here?

That's exactly what I thought Learner. Thanks for commenting x

I'll be staying nearby with DD for a few days in March so will keep an eye in this thread, just in case - cannot understand why you haven't been deluged with responses from SE grans, nanapug, everyone goes to Bluewater!!
