Hello,

Happy New Year to one and all. I for one am starting the New Year with a firm resolution which is to rebuild my very sluggish social life and see if I can set myself some new challenges. Has anyone else got plans, if so please share them. Maybe we could all tag along.

Now who would like to meet up for a coffee/tea and some cake (even if it is calorie laden) If it's by day then I'm free Thursday or Friday or one evening would also suit. Please let me know who would like a meet up and when you are available.

Look forward to meeting old and new friends.

Hello

It looks like we are planning a meet up one evening next week in Warwick. Let me know who would like to join us smile

Aka Sat 12-Oct-13 11:26:00

If its only us two then why not? Been a long time since I saw you and caught up smile

Nana2TVJ Sat 12-Oct-13 11:20:06

Okay Aka I will wait and see if any other replies come through. More than happy to meet in the evening though as this is easier for me with looking after my GD.

Aka Thu 10-Oct-13 14:34:06

Not half term for us but can't do day time at all any more. But don't make arrangements around me as I'm pretty tied. Just let me know what's decided and I'll see what I can do smile

Nana2TVJ Mon 07-Oct-13 18:52:01

Realise it is half term for some so can move to evening if preferred.

Nana2TVJ Mon 07-Oct-13 18:45:38

Hi Aka I'm thinking day time meet up for the first one. smile

Aka Sun 06-Oct-13 20:20:01

Are you talking day or evening meet Nan2TVJ ?

Hello

I think it's time to plan another meet up and maybe get another one in after that before Xmas. Maybe it is a little early to suggest a mulled wine and mince pie meet up. Two possible dates for consideration are Monday 21st October or Wednesday 23rd October. We could try for a central Stratford location, I am rather partial to The Fourteas in Sheep Street, great food and lovely service and 1940's decor.

I will wait to see who can make it and look forward to some new faces joining us. smile

Yesterdaysgirl why do you think the mickey is being taken? I hope I haven't said any thing? Certainly not myy intention, I just wanted to say that instead of the hell which is finding a parking space in Stratford in the summer/tourist seasonm the Park & Riide is an excellent alternative - with the added bonus of nice loos which are very welcome at the end of a 1 1/4 hour drive from here. Sorry you girls are not meeting up today, but I can get over envying you now then grin

Nana2TVJ Fri 19-Jul-13 08:29:01

Oh dear I think Carluccio's will never get to see my alternative use for a jug of water! I think it best we try and meet up when it's a little cooler as most people have had to cancel. Keep watching the forum for another date, possibly meet up in September now.

Keep safe everyone x

Yesterdaysgirl Thu 18-Jul-13 22:53:12

You are lucky Gracesmum ... I do not drive so that is my reality as I walk everywhere or take a bus or train ... no escape for me ...smile

And why do I think I am being taken the micky of on here ... I have withdrawn ok x

gracesmum Thu 18-Jul-13 22:44:10

I did warn them that you are ladies "d'un certain age", of a sensitive and genteel disposition who definitely don't drink, only have soft food and will have fits of the vapours if it all gets too exciting.
No, I didn't I told then how it is and they have booked the riot squad and police dogs.
Have a wonderful time!!
PS I used the Park and Ride and got bus into town using my bus pass - so easy!

Yesterdaysgirl Thu 18-Jul-13 22:05:19

ok crazy lady ARE you sure you want to meet tomorrow ... with the heat we can always do it another day etc ... it will not last for ever !

SPEAK UP NOW PLEASE ... I do understand honestly as it is hot ...


In fact I am going to cry off to because of the weather nothing else ... call it sanity with me catching bus in ... am sure we will meet soon.

Nana2TVJ Thu 18-Jul-13 20:13:12

gracesmum, hope you enjoyed your day out on Wednesday, look forward to meeting up with you next time. Carluccio's may naturally bar me from coming again, as I will be the crazy lady who pours a jug of water over herself as I understand tomorrow is going to be a degree hotter then today. blush

gracesmum Mon 15-Jul-13 21:43:18

I'll be there on Wednesday (A Mad World My Masters at The Swan) shall I warn Carluccio's that a select group of refined grandmotherly ladies will be gracing the establishment - or shall I tell them you are coming!!gringrin

Nana2TVJ Mon 15-Jul-13 19:38:51

Hello

I have reserved a table under name of Gransnetters. Has to be indoors as they can't hold an outdoor table for us. We can always go out if we see an available table once a few of us have arrived.

Looking forward to Friday smile

Tegan Sun 14-Jul-13 21:00:43

...and were of a 'certain age' wink...

gracesmum Sun 14-Jul-13 20:57:29

You could do what we did at the Midalnds meet up last autumn. We agreed to wear purple, but unfortunately it resulted in various perfectly decent citizens of Birmingham being accosted and asked "Are you one of us?" just because they had by chance chosen to wear aubergine/ wine/ plum!!

Yesterdaysgirl Sun 14-Jul-13 19:57:57
