Hi there Just trying to find GNs who might be interested in a Suffolk meetup, possibly for lunch. I don't think there are too many of us in this area for some reason.

So far I've heard from 2 others on the local forum, and the midway point for us seems to be Ipswich, but depends where anyone else is too of course. I'm sure we could find somewhere on the outskirts, easy to drive to.

We haven't got as far as dates or venue yet. Just hoping we can get some more GNs interested? Please add your name if you might be interested, and we can go from there.

Hope to hear from you.

I'm in North Norfolk and would love to have come but Ipswich is a bit too far and with mum being so poorly I can't commit to much at present. If you have another meet more this way later in the year ......

Hi all you Norfolk ladies. We definitely must arrange something up your way next time. Would be good to meet.

The date we have got so far for Suffolk meet is Thursday 6th June for lunch. People interested so far are Reddevil3, Farmgal, Smoluski (but since seems to have left GN) , NanaGinnyB, Celebgran, Tiggy and me. Sorry if I've forgotten anyone.

Only had a reply from 2 people re venue preference. sometimes the pm's go into peoples Spam box.

We are thinking of lunch, on Ipswich outskirts (for easy parking) if anyone else in Suffolk, Norfolk or Essex etc wants to come, would be great. Some people have mentioned they may bring a friend. Hope some GNs from Colchester area may join us?.

It's hard to liase with everyone as I'm doing pm's, + a thread on Suffolk and now Colchester local forums. Would be great if anyone who wants to come could post on this main thread, with venue choice too.

Re venue, we have people from Frinton, Sudbury, Saxmundham, felixstowe, so thought edge Ipswich fairest. Any ideas for venue?

So far have www.suffolkskicentre.co.uk/restaurant.html
www.thebildestoncrown.com/ www.aldercarrfarm.co.uk/barn-cafe,
any other ideas would be good.

Hope to hear from some of you, if we do want to get this off the ground..

Thanks for adding this meetup to the Colchester Forum.
I am not able to make that date but will keep my eye on the forums for future events.

Flower - Walberswick is about 10 miles up the coast from me, a beautiful spot.

Skomer looks fantastic, how did you get involved with that when you live in Hertfordshire?
