South west meet up - Exeter

Hello Ariadne ! I would love to come, but it will depend on whether or not I'm working.

Oh, you are firmly on the list, Phoenix! But I would like you to have a job too..

If possible could you choose venue near to and with easy access from railway station.

Yippee, something nice to do in dreary October!

Ah but which railway station, Maniac? Exeter has 3!

Well, Theseus will be around, but not with us. He will be more than willing to do some chauffeuring, but I will, of course, check transport.

Am so looking forward to it!

Main line from Bristol to SW I think it's Exeter St Davids

Yes Maniac def. Exeter St Davids!

Exeter St Davids for me too, I'll hop on a train at Westbury (not many come via Frome these days!)

OK. now, dates - all October; I know you'll be as flexible as possible. If you want to PM me, please do and I can give you my e mail address.

Mon. 7th
Tues. 8th
Weds. 9th

Let's try these for starters.

I'm working including Saturdays. The only days I'm ever free are Fridays. But don't worry about me!

No, we will worry about you! Want you there if possible.

Everyone happy to include Friday 19th?

Can't do 11th.

maniac have pm'd you re venue!

Should be ok, so long as DD doesn't produce early!

Count me in for whatever date suits the majority. I usually teach on Fridays, but will reschedule classes if necessary. It's something to look forward to for when the holiday is over.

All dates currently ok for me!

I would like to come if i am not working, and could offer a lift anywhere en route from weymouth

Bump

I'd like to join you but I'm away until 15th October. BTW, 19th October is a Saturday. Friday 18th would be good for me.

Same as Granny G

Thanks, * GrannyG*! Trust me to get numbers in the wrong place! And thanks, Atqui. Grannylin and I (and Theseus if I can persuade him) are meeting on Monday so will get back to you all.

OK! Here we go, folks. The date is fitting in with a request, as is the venue!

Friday 18th October 12.00 midday - well, obviously

Mill on the Exe, Exeter. (There's a good web page with sample menus, from wraps and sandwiches to full meals)

It is half a mile from Exeter St. David's station, and there seem to be plenty of taxis. Good parking on site. They do have a wedding on as well, though..

There is good disabled access at street level.

Nice conservatory dining room overlooking the river.

We had lunch there today and liked it a lot.

Have made a provisional booking for 12, and need to let them know sharpish if numbers go up.

You do NOT have to live in the SW to join us!

Yessss!!!

....and the chips are really good
