I live about an hour from Oxford so had a look to see if there was a "local" GN and/or any meetups. Having drawn a blank is anybody in or around Oxford interested?

Hello, purple...I didn't get involved with the meet-up described above, but I'd be very interested in any future ones. smile I'll take a look at your pages.

I was one of the people who originally hoped to meet up in Oxford but in the end couldn't manage it. I'd be interested in another try though! As I remember, gorki, noodles and ginny were potentially up for it and we were trying to get alieoxon along as well. I can do most Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays if that is any use . Welcome as local editor purple - do you think we could give it a go?

Gorki Fri 31-Jan-14 14:46:01

Yes I am still interested. Those dates suit me too. Love to meet up.

I could meet up in the centre of Oxford most days , as I can get the bus in there. There is a cafe in the Ashmolean [haven't been yet, but supposed to be nice] and it's near the bus station for everyone?

Soutra Fri 31-Jan-14 15:28:52

Ashmolean wold be lovely! In the next 3 weeks I could do:
Any Tuesday (4/2, 11/2, 18/2)
Thursday 20/2
any Friday (7/2, 14/2, 21/2)
(Oh dear - you can tell I don't get out much!!!!!)
I would come in on the X5 from Milton Keynes which goes to thwe Bus Station. (I have given up trying to drive to Oxford even with the Park & Ride)
How would that suit the others?

alchemillamollis Fri 31-Jan-14 15:43:32

Yay, Ashmolean! Best dates from Soutra's list would be:

Friday 7/2

Friday 14/2

Tuesday 18/2

Friday 21/2

Are we looking at coffee at around 11am or so? Or lunch?

Aka Fri 31-Jan-14 15:59:37

The cafe at the Ashmolean is indeed very nice.

Soutra Fri 31-Jan-14 22:34:44

Personally wouldn't mind a spot of lunch....... we could start with coffee, check out the menu, continue with lunch and maybe a glass of wine perhaps?
So, is that a yes (subject to dates) from rosesarered. gorki, alchemillamollis,, maybe alieoxon, oldgirlfriday and myself? Any more - purple, ginny, noodles*??? (Aka are you too far away?)

alchemillamollis Fri 31-Jan-14 23:28:23

That's a yes from me, and lunch would be lovely. smile

oldgirlfriday Sat 01-Feb-14 10:56:26

Coffee followed by lunch sounds good to me. I can make either 14/2 or 21/2

rosesarered Sat 01-Feb-14 11:17:12

Yes from me too, I can do..... from 10th Feb either Tue Thu or Fri or the following week the same,[the week of the 17th] or the next week starting 24th the same days.Happy to go with whichever date the most people find easiest.

Gorki Sat 01-Feb-14 13:38:03

I can manage 13th,25th,26th or 27th. 28th is a possibility also but I would be later arriving.

rosesarered Sun 02-Feb-14 21:32:00

we have to narrow this down soon to suitable dates. Hope everyone can come.

rosesarered Sun 02-Feb-14 21:33:59

I can come most days [by moving other stuff around] but not Wednesdays.

Soutra Sun 02-Feb-14 21:59:43

How about Tues 25th? Or alternatively Thurs 28th? I would have liked to have heard from purple don't want to usurp her position as local editor !

Soutra Sun 02-Feb-14 22:01:38

Thurs 27th - sorry!

Soutra Mon 03-Feb-14 10:14:11

BUMPgrin

Soutra Mon 03-Feb-14 11:30:18

Hellooooo! Any opinions on dates?

Gorki Mon 03-Feb-14 12:48:22

Both dates are fine for me.

oldgirlfriday Mon 03-Feb-14 13:36:06

I see we are offering dates for the last week in Feb. now. I can make 25th, 26th or 28th if that helps.

Soutra Mon 03-Feb-14 13:43:05

Shall we say tentatively Tues 25th?

Gorki Mon 03-Feb-14 14:15:04

Perfect ! At the Ashmolean café ?

AlieOxon Mon 03-Feb-14 14:26:16

I will try to come. Depends how I am at the time!

purple Mon 03-Feb-14 14:27:26

Yes, Ashmolean cafe on Feb 25 at 11 am is fine with me - and don't worry, Soutra, I am delighted to be usurped!!

rosesarered Mon 03-Feb-14 15:27:12

Yes, that date is fine for me too. Look forward to seeing you all. smile
