South west meet up - Exeter

Sad that I missed this meet-up.
Would appreciate you keeping me posted when the next south-west meet up is under way
Happy to help if necessary.

Happy New Year

Ga I had to take a diversion bus from Crediton to Barnstaple, and have to say that I would not have liked to drive through some of the lanes!

Went to the Yacht club presentation for DGS2's sake, and it was a real effort, but woth it. xxx

Great to meet you all .Glad everyone returned safely. Sorry I had to leave so early. I had an un eventful journey and got home in time to touch base before the theatre.

Yes we had a 'luverly' time!sorry to miss Phoenix et al.
So many conversation threads- quite hard to keep up! So much chat,laughter and fun.Guess if we'd had original 12 they might have thrown us out .Just as well our table was at the end of the room-overlooking the river.
Easy 1/2 mile walk from station.Trains back quite crowded -but back home safe and well at 5.30 pm. Thanks all! I'll post photos.

Well, that was a lovely day followed by a busy evening. So nice to be able to meet up with people.
The bus I came home on (diversion route) bumped into the roof of a property whilst squeezing past another double decker in a country village. Poor householder was furious at the damage caused.

Lovely day and thanks to you all. Yes, I got back to DD's an hour ago - exhausted! Nighty night

Yes we had a lovely time! Where are you Gally.Are you home ok?

Back home via the local Thai Restaurant.....
Didn't we have a loverly time.......
Sadly, I think I was the only Gran without an i-pad/camera! Maniac took photos tho'
Thanks Ariadne for organising us/venue xx

So glad you all had a good time, will definitely make it to the next one!

Glad it went well, as they always do. Looking forward to the photos.

Loved it! It is so good to put faces to names. We talked and talked and laughed and laughed; OGM took the photos and a lovely young waiter took a group one. Home now - the bus got into Barnstaple dead on time too.

Phoenix - we missed you, and Galen we missed you too. Next time, eh?

I do hope you all had a lovely time, just sorry that I couldn't be there.

Have a great blether!! Let us see some photos, please?

Have a great time, everyone. We want to know all about it later, with evidence!

Okay - it's time to wander down to the venue. Exciting stuff.

Thanks Grannylin No. 2 son reckons I should be OK.... the confidence of youth (well 40 is looming for him so he may slow down!)
Just bought my tickets when all the lights went out!
Will look at maps and plan (may push the boat out and get a taxi.... pedants won't like that.... boat/taxi )
See you soon!

OGM don't know if you know Exeter, but St David's is quite a trek from the city centre.Exeter Central might be better for you if you've got time to kill in the shops, then it's a downhill walk back.

Going to buy ticket today, route should be OK.... really looking forward to seeing you all, and catching up with Maniac!

Oh, and if anyone else wants to come, tell me by tomorrow. You are very welcome.

Theseus is sometimes truly wonderful! He says he'll drive me to Exeter, but I'll come back by train. Am about to pm you all with my mobile number etc.

.Gally and I will be there..probably coming by car so will be on the look out for ga and anyone else wandering along by the river

Booked my train ticket today. 10.03 am
arrives Exeter St Davids 11.33am

Thanks for the info....will check details.

The line from Barnstaple to Exeter is currently using buses in some places....

Me too! All well here, catching an early train to avoid a long wait in Castle Cary, so will have a mooch around. Anyone else coming from this direction (train is London to Exeter)?
