Hi
I'm the local editor for GN Bolton and would love organise a meetup here in September. Wheniam64 organised a great NW meetup in May, where I was able to meet lots of other Gransnetters. It would be fantastic if everyone could come along again, although I don't want to hijack the NW meetups which have been in existence before I was even a GN member. Everyone was very welcoming and I hope we can have another chatty lunch . By all means DM with your views or questions

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday. Looks like there'll be a few of us. Has anyone heard if Vegasmags can come? Not seen her on here recently.

Oh Grammar
That's great. So glad that you can make it , too.
Would anyone else like to join us?

Hi, I'm back from holiday, have negotiated a day off from my usual Thursday DGD minding and would like to join you for lunch on the 19th, if it's not too late to be included.

Hi Nelliemoser
Hope you have a lovely time with DGS - shame if you can't make this particular meetup.

Nelliemoser Wed 04-Sept-13 08:39:54

I think it unlikely I will make it now sad unless DD can change her work shift to an early!
Her hubby is away and can't pick DGS up from nursery and put him to bed so that is up to me. I will be staying at DDs and I would not dare want to get delayed as I don't really know the way from south Yorkshire.

Whether the little man will go to sleep for me is another matter. If things change I will be there. To be honest, right now I am flattered to be asked.

Great if hummingbird and little miss sunshine can make it, too

hummingbird Wed 04-Sept-13 00:29:45

I could probably make the 19th too. It would be nice to see everyone again!

seasider Tue 03-Sept-13 23:53:25

Hi Ginny I am sure little miss sunshine will join us again if she can but she is away at the moment. I will confirm next week if that's ok ?

GinnyTonic Tue 03-Sept-13 13:32:23

looking forward to catching up again

annodomini Tue 03-Sept-13 12:58:43

Wouldn't miss it!

Iam64 Tue 03-Sept-13 12:55:45

Yes indeed. I may be able to arrive earlier, and will do if possible. My husband is taking the dog to his grooming session. My own hair do is booked for 3, but only about 20 mins from the Tavern. Really looking forward to it

thanks ginny x

whenim64 Tue 03-Sept-13 11:54:56

Smashing! Is that late enough to give time for Iam64 to make it?

GinnyTonic Tue 03-Sept-13 11:06:40

Hi
So far, I think we have Annodomini, Nelliemoser, Seasider, Vegasmags, Wheniam 64, possibly Iam64, Greatnana, me & possibly a new Facebook follower.
Have I missed anyone?
I'll book a table at the Tavern, Hunger Hill from 1:00 on 19th Sept for approx 10. Hope that's OK.

annodomini Wed 28-Aug-13 21:25:15

I can manage the 19th and am already looking forward to it.

GinnyTonic Wed 28-Aug-13 20:33:05

A certain GreatNana has said she would love to join us. She did say that she would pretend she didn't know me, but I said that when I pushed her wheelchair it might be a clue! If the conversation flags, ask her about her outrageous flirting with a French doctor when she was having her broken wrist set recently. This meeting could be even livelier than the last one - glad to see numbers increasing steadily. By the way, yes, that was me on Breakfast TV on Monday - so nervous I could hardly remember my own name!

vegasmags Tue 27-Aug-13 18:13:23

Yes, should be good for me too. Looking forward to seeing everyone again grin

Nelliemoser Tue 27-Aug-13 17:21:10

It sounds OK to me as far ahead as I can see at the moment.

whenim64 Tue 27-Aug-13 16:55:06

Yes, a later lunch might help?

GinnyTonic Tue 27-Aug-13 16:47:35

Hi wheniam64
Its great to hear you can make it.

Sounds like a busy morning, Iam64 - would it help if we had lunch after 1:00 ?

Iam64 Tue 27-Aug-13 13:50:06

Hi Ginny and all - I'm working 19th September in the morning, and then have one of the dogs booked in for grooming, and me for grooming, well a hair cut. I'll try and re-arrange the double grooming, and if I can, I'll be there.

whenim64 Tue 27-Aug-13 10:11:14

Hi Ginny. Yes, I'll be there, too. Looking forward to meetng up again.

GinnyTonic Tue 27-Aug-13 10:03:31

Great, Seasider. Fingers crossed that it's a good date for most.

seasider Mon 26-Aug-13 22:42:52

Hi Ginny good to see you back . 19th is a good date for me smile

GinnyTonic Mon 26-Aug-13 19:50:33

Hi Everyone
Sorry I've not been back on this forum - life has been a bit complicated recently - OH now recovered from heart bypass, Mums broken wrist is healing and sister has been given all clear after op. Anyway, how about a lunch meeting at the Tavern on the hill in Bolton on Thursday 19th September, complete with diaries, where we can arrange next meeting. I would Really love to go to a show at the seaside, sounds a great idea, but I realise we need to book early.

annodomini Sun 25-Aug-13 20:24:58

I feel the need of a meet-up - will be away from 11th to 17th September but will be pretty flexible thereafter.
