East Midlands Meetup!!

I'm pretty tied up till mid September [Oct would be better cause I'll be retired then; hurrah!]. Other than that anything would suit me [as long as it's easy to drive to; and I mean easy my driving being what it is!

I'm up for it in principle - allowing for distance and accessibilty and being free natch!

Definitely, work and child care duties permitting

Mid Sept onward works for me with the proviso that DD2 has a due date of 2nd October. Can't do Fridays because of volunteering.

I wondered about the Radison? Anyone any experience? Or there is the Hilton. Or we could meet somewhere and go somewhere else - if you see what I mean?

Bump - or we will be terribly, terribly exclusive

Definitely up for another meet , depending whether I can get to the meeting place by public transport. October would be a good time,apart from Wednesdays (except half term) when I Volunteer.

In that case I think the Thistle would be best [I liked it there] because the bus takes you straight to it. Also [I'd forgotten this!] I'll have a bus pass by then so I could take the bus as well . What does everyone else think?

Where is TheThistle?

Isn't that where we met last time?

I'm not sure where the shuttle bus passes from where trendygran lives; there is a pub called The Plank and Leggitt that might have a bus stop outside [which is next to Sawley Marina and just off the motorway].

Don't know when I will next be over - possibly Christmas but not sure about that even - too much going on here. Have a lovely time y'all. xx

Duh! Was it? (Where was I? Do I go there often?)

I can find out if there's a bus from Nottingham to Sawley Marina. If so ,depending on times, that should be possible. The Thistle is also convenient as there are plenty of airport buses.

I'm happy to go where ever suits everyone. If we decided to go somewhere else, I would be happy to meet at, say, the services on the MI near the airport and guide or ferry. Is the pub good Tegan

I don't mind because I really enjoyed it last time.

specki let us know when you are next around and we'll organise something - we'll miss you. Keep strong!!

Anyone got any dates in mind?

The Thistle is a safer bet than the pub. I'm terrified of motorways as the roads leading to them round here are all a bit complicated [for me anyway!]. I might never find my way home again.

Not very mobile so hoping for a meet in/near Loughborough
How about Wetherspoons,the Amber rooms?

As the people who are likely to come to the East Midlands meet are quite widespread we have to find somewhere accessible for all of them, that's why we picked EMA.

And some of them aren't very confident drivers ...
