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?

Soutra Hi - I'm in for a meet-up in Oxford, especially if it's in the Ashmolean. (Goose:-)

alchemillamollis Tue 04-Feb-14 18:17:52

I'm going to have to see if I can move other commitments around a bit, but I'm very keen to come if I can. So count me in as a provisional. smile I really hope I can make it.

Soutra Mon 03-Feb-14 20:06:54

Hurray!! Would you be happy to pm me and we could share mobile numbers and (whisper it) names in case of problems nearer the time? Oldgirlfriday can you do that day too? It also occurs to me that goose says she lives in Oxfordshire - could you make it? I might have to be a bit after 11 as it is a good hour+ and I don't know how early I can use my bus pass!!grin

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

Perfect ! At the Ashmolean café ?

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

Shall we say tentatively Tues 25th?

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.

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

Both dates are fine for me.

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

Hellooooo! Any opinions on dates?

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

BUMPgrin

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

Thurs 27th - sorry!

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 !

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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?)

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

The cafe at the Ashmolean is indeed very nice.

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?

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?

rosesarered Fri 31-Jan-14 14:57:45

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?
