Reading meetup

Hi Gorki Seems like we've chosen a bad time for our meet-up. I'd be happy to meet up with just the two of us.... what about you? I'd understand perfectly if you'd prefer to leave it until we have more 'takers'.

Thanks for replying GadaboutGran. I hope you enjoy your day in Littlehampton. We are going there tomorrow for my cousin's 50th birthday so hopefully we will get to the beach.

I was just interested about the meetups because I have never been to one and looking back at earlier threads and some of the photos ,they seem to have been well-attended especially in Scotland and the North. Perhaps they are more gregarious up there !

Sorry - only just picked this up. Unfortunately I'm away that day on a my London grand-daughter's school's whole family trip to Littlehampton. Next time perhaps. I am delighted my original post has brought people together.
Deedaa - I hope your husband recovers well. It was lovely to meet you at Chessington.

In answer to your question Gorki, I think the main reason is that it's really hard to fix dates with Gransnetters who seem to have such busy lives, especially at this time of year. I also think some people value their anonymity & a few are nervous of meeting strangers. Have a good natter next week,

It looks like most of the meetups planned at the moment seem to be struggling for people to attend. I wonder why ? Perhaps it's the time of year or the difficulties of arranging a time and date on GN. Any more for Reading ?

One has replied that she can't come this time because she is moving house a few days later but wishes to be informed of any future meetups.

Thanks Gorki

noodles.Looks like it might be just thee and me ! Ihave sent a pm to 2 members on the local forums who have in the past expressed a wish to me up and I await their replies. Will keep you informed.

Good wishes for your husband DEEDA .

Sorry to hear about your husband's setback Deedaa. Hope all goes well for him. We can certainly arrange another meeting later next month if you are free or in September.

I'm generally free most days, Wednesday is GS's gym club (though not for much longer) and if we have to see the consultant it's always a Thursday. Next few weeks are a bit of an unknown quantity as he's not had this new drug before and we don't know what the effect will be.

Sorry you can't make it this time Deedaa. Hope your husband's chest infection clears up.

If you find you are unexpectedly free on another day, let us know.... we might well be able to make a short notice meetup.

I thought I'd got myself organised - my husband was going to start a new course of chemo this Thursday, now he's on antibiotics for a chest infection and they've postponed the start till next Thursday It can't be helped, but I was looking forward to it. Perhaps another time!!

Bump

Looking forward to it.

Perfect ! So Thursday 18th July 11am in the John Lewis coffee shop/restaurant. Any one else able to join us ?

Totally open at the moment. What would you prefer ?

Any definites yet ?

I have advertised this meet-up on the Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey forums as some folk might live near enough to be able to join us.
