On another thread some of us discovered that there were quite a few GNs living in the Reading area so we have decided to meet up on 18th July possibly in the restaurant in John Lewis. There are 3 takers at the moment so it would be lovely if others could join us.

Looks like there are 2 definites and 3 possibles so far for our meetup on 5th September at 10.30 in Reading. It would be lovely if we could make the list a bit longer and any suggestions regarding venue would be welcome.

Keeping all fingers crossed smile

Hello Gorki and Deeda

Lovely. Looking forward to the 5th.

Gorki Wed 07-Aug-13 08:12:36

Brilliant Deedaa ! Hope you will be able to make it. It would be nice to expand our duo into a trio at least. It would be great if others could join us too.

Deedaa Tue 06-Aug-13 23:49:36

September 5th sounds good to me at the moment smile

Gorki Thu 01-Aug-13 13:44:45

If nobody else responds I will start a new thread and ask for suggestions as to venue. It will be really good to meet up again. grin

Hi Gorki back at my laptop which means my spelling should be better smile

Smashing. Look forward to seeing you again.

Gorki Thu 01-Aug-13 08:44:10

Absolutely fine by me. I know dustyangel won't be able to make it until October (we could do another one then) but hopefully others will be able to join us.

Big fingers, small tablet! Yes, I'd love to meet up again in September...and just to start the ball rolling, how about 10.30 on Thursday September 5th?

Gorki Wed 31-Jul-13 16:13:34

What's that, a new style of greeting noodles ? !! I often think back to our meet-up in Reading and our chat . Can't believe how quickly the time passed. It's August tomorrow so I think we need to start thinking of a date in September with a view to including others hopefully. Any suggestions ?

noodles Wed 31-Jul-13 15:46:51

Hekko Gorki. It was great meeting you. I felt as though we'd known each other for ages! I'd love to meet up again in September.... Hopefully with Deeda, dustyangel and other GNs.

Gorki Fri 19-Jul-13 19:52:27

No problem.

Deedaa Fri 19-Jul-13 16:19:37

Brain is now completey addled by the heat!!! Baby is due 24th October not September!!! I have known this for weeks blush Dependent on daughter's work might have to bring current baby, but I'll worry about that later.

Gorki Fri 19-Jul-13 07:39:13

Early September would be fine Deedaa.I can manage from 5th (when grandchildren go back to school ) .

Deedaa Thu 18-Jul-13 20:47:52

I'd be up for September smile preferably early as my son's girlfriend has her C section booked for the 24th.

Gorki Thu 18-Jul-13 19:15:28

noodles and I had a lovely morning in Reading and chatted away as if we had known each other for years. It was the first meetup I had been to and it was lovely to put a face and a personality to a name. We found we had so much in common and so many experiences to share. Thank you noodles for a lovely morningflowers. We are anxious to meet again quite soon ,possibly early September , and would like it if others could join us. Watch this space !

Gorki Wed 17-Jul-13 19:24:48

Thanks dustyangel

noodles Wed 17-Jul-13 16:16:57

Deeda dustyangel I'm looking forward to tomorrow, and the next time when you will both be there.

dustyangel Wed 17-Jul-13 14:33:02

Have a lovely time tomorrow both of you.

Gorki Wed 17-Jul-13 06:11:14

Thanks Deedaa. There will only be two of this time but several others have expressed an interest for later in the year , perhaps October.
Do hope your husband has recovered from his chest infection and that the new chemo goes well. Keep in touch.

Deedaa Tue 16-Jul-13 22:39:40

Hope you have a good time, do let us know how it went. Once we get the DH started on his new chemo I shall have some idea of how available I am for meetings, hopefully it won't be too bad and I'll be able to get out a bit.

Gorki Sun 14-Jul-13 16:35:00

JL not JW. Apologies.

Gorki Sun 14-Jul-13 12:06:17

Hi noodles I'm way beyond plumpish too but was just being kind to myself !!
The scarf is a good idea. I'll come armed with one so to speak.
Really looking forward to Thursday at 11 in JW.
All the best
Sue

Hi Gorki I've got white hair too, but sadly, I am way beyond plumpish.smile

I read that at another meet up, the signal was a bright scarf tied onto a handbag/backpack, so I'll do that. But I'm sure we'll find each other!

Look forward to meeting you. Jane

Hi noodles I would love to meet up with you on Thursday as planned. How will I recognise you? If it is still hot I will probably wear a deep pink top and flowery skirt. I have white hair and am somewhat "plumpish" lol. smile Looking forward to meeting you.
