This is a preliminary enquiry. I should like to invite my Gransnet friends to lunch before I set off to New Zealand, which will be somewhere between 5 and 15 May. I live in Darlington which is relatively easy for North-eastern and east coast Scottish grannies to get to. West coast Scottish grannies would have a longer journey. I think you would have to do a train to Glasgow, then change for Edinburgh before the train to Darlington. Grannies who live in other parts of the country would be hugely welcome too.

I need a sort of ballpark figure so that I can book a place and arrange the catering. I was thinking some time towards the end of April. We can discuss exact dates so that those I particularly cherish don't get left out because of other commitments.

Is anyone up for this? Let me know or glass who is also helping with this plan and trying very hard to keep me in order.

I'll go along with *Gally's dates, as I'd like to travel down with her on the train...I've got no sense of direction and will no doubt get very lost if I'm all alone with nobody with me (as per Hilda Baker!) confused!

Depending on date.. I am very interested but not a definite until date chosen! Will wait for you to choose date and then let you know... sounds like great fun.

20, 21 & 22 would be good for me.

It's so difficult to suit everyone, I could possibly do other dates.

20, 21 would be fine for me and the 22 possible but a little more difficult.

He did absent I think having to wait for the party built it up, but they are a lovey group of kids they all just gel together, they have been together since Nursery and it was a joy to see them all getting on. But I am in need of Grandma time out wine after having built the lego models up and played with all DGS presents but I feel like a bubbling pot being in the position to share all of this sunshine

Are we able to decide on a date soon? It would be handy to know, so that we can get train tickets booked smile.
