I've posted this on the local Manchester forum, too. Does anyone want to suggest a venue that is better for them? We have met centrally, around the vicinity of the M60 in Denton and the Trafford Centre, for previous meet-ups. Who wants to meet up in May? All welcome! smile

Thanks, Ginny. If we all try to arrive 12 onwards, we can gather and have a chat before we sit down for lunch.

Fantastic - I'll book for a definite 10, Tavern at Hunger Hill Bolton at 12:30 on 31st May ( but ask for a bit of flexibility for extra numbers). Very exciting - looking forward to meeting everyone

whenim64 Thu 09-May-13 13:41:26

Brilliant vegasmags! We may have 10 for this meet-up. Should be a very chatty one! grin

vegasmags Thu 09-May-13 13:09:44

Yes I can make the 31st May and looking forward to meeting everyone. smile

Probably wrong terminal, Grannylin. Easyjet flies from Terminal 1; most domestic flights come in at 3.

whenim64 Thu 09-May-13 11:32:25

Sorry to miss you Grannylin. We'll manage it one day. I hope your new granddaughter is doing well? smile

Grannylin Thu 09-May-13 11:10:46

when I'm doing a flying babysitting trip today til Sunday but doubt if if I will have a moment free as DS2 is moving house, otherwise I would have arranged to meet .Might spot anno at the airport though!

whenim64 Thu 09-May-13 10:18:23

So far, we have anno, Ginnytonic, Iam64, Grammar, Hummingbird, Seasider, Nelliemoser, Sewsilver and me, and both Maniac and Grannylin have wanted to join us if they happen to be visiting the north-west, so there's an open invitation, just in case. A definite 9, though.

Have I missed anyone's name? Hope not.

Ginny shall we book a table at the Tavern on the Hill for 12.30 on Friday 31st May? Looking forward to seeing everyone. smile

whenim64 Tue 07-May-13 19:32:02

Thanks, Ginny. We'll estimate numbers and if more want to join us, I'm sure they'll make room smile

GinnyTonic Tue 07-May-13 19:26:21

Friday sounds good to me. Once numbers are firmed up, I can book a table. Hope 12:30 for table sounds OK. I will get there 15mins before the agreed time - may have to partake of a glass of wine while waiting wine

whenim64 Tue 07-May-13 16:51:13

Friday seems to be ok as long as it doesn't affect anyone planning the bank holiday weekend away.

Can you shout up if it does, please?

whenim64 Tue 07-May-13 15:32:18

Bump!!

whenim64 Tue 07-May-13 09:32:47

Any final bids for preferred day?

annodomini Tue 07-May-13 09:20:09

I don't mind coming on Thursday if it suits everyone else better. I know my priorities. grin

whenim64 Tue 07-May-13 08:24:29

Sorry about the mixed up dates - nellie obviously bothered to check, whilst I miscalculated them in my head. grin

It's looking like Thursday 30th or Friday 31st, with Anno unable to do the Thursday because of her CAB commitments, so shall we plump for the Friday?

Ginnytonic do we need to book a table? If so, we need to firm up numbers.

GinnyTonic Tue 07-May-13 07:55:23

This is sounding great - forgot to say I can make Friday 31 st, too i.e. any of the days mentioned by whenim64.

annodomini Mon 06-May-13 17:15:22

I'm available - preferably not Thursday but, wth, the CAB could operate without me that week.

Iam64 Mon 06-May-13 07:51:07

Hey - this is sounding good. I'm back from holiday on 28 May, and can do any of the days wheni'm64 suggests. I do work about half a day a week, but currently have nothing in on those days. So, I can fit in with what's best with everyone. I only joined gransnet a couple of weeks ago, after lurking for a while. Looking forward to a get together

seasider Mon 06-May-13 01:06:56

I think I can do any day that week but maybe Thursday best.

Nelliemoser Mon 06-May-13 00:27:01

When I assume you mean Weds 29th or Thursday 30th May. otherwise we are missing a day this month. moon night night.

Here's the link for the Tavern on the Hill:

whenim64 Sun 05-May-13 21:06:57

Hi everyone. Have been waiting for more suggestions, but if no objections we could go with the Bolton venue, Tavern on the Hill, which is very near the M61 and easier for those Gransnetters who live north and west of Manchester. It's less than half an hour from my house, which is near Manchester airport. We could choose a venue further south or east of Manchester next time.

Could we confirm this is ok and agree a date? How about either Wednesday 29 May, Thursday 31 May or Friday 1 June, all of which seem to be free for most people?

seasider Sun 05-May-13 20:45:52

Hi when is the meet up now going to link with the Bolton meet up?any ideas for a date yet.?

hummingbird Sun 05-May-13 16:54:50

Hi When, I'd love to come to the next meet-up, but it will depend on the date. (We're looking after our grandchildren - some of the time up here, and sometimes down in Buckinghamshire - for a few weeks, so I'll come if I can.)

whenim64 Tue 30-Apr-13 09:01:36

Looks like we're gathering in numbers for a good meet-up at the end of May smile
