West Sussex - Haywards Heath or Burgess Hill meet-up

Hi yogagran, I can generally do a Monday, and occasionally a Wednesday or Friday. Is Saturday an option for you? I know greatfulgran74 can only do Saturdays.
Haywards Heath has been suggested a few times and probably has more to offer than Burgess Hill (I've lived in both, but not for a few years now).
Hope we can find a few Sussex gransnetters to come along

I'm am East Sussex Nana but can get to Hayward's Heath easily if allowed!

In my mind Brendawymms Sussex is still one county Never approved of the split back in the 60s/70s or whenever it was!

There's been a slight change of plan! A couple of us are planning to meet for a morning coffee on Thursday 27th in Horsham. If anyone else is free to join us let me know and I'll give you the details
It would be good to see you

I would have loved to join you, if allowed from East Sussex but will be on holiday. I'm very sad I won't be there.

That's a real shame Brenda, perhaps next time?

Can't do Thursdays unfortunately as it's one of the days I work.
Hope you have a good time yogagran

Hi Would like to meet up but not Tuesdays or Thursdays.. as I swim those mornings... so maybe next time! Have fun everyone :-)

Oh shame, will be back at school then, weekdays are only good for me if it's a school holiday...maybe something around the Easter hols?

Anyone else up for the Easter school holidays? I have no idea what the dates are though!
gratefulgran54 would you like to suggest a couple of dates?
And how about 'Miss Mabel's Tea Rooms? Looks fun local.gransnet.com/west-sussex/coffee-shops/35780-miss-mabels-tea-room

This year they break up on the 4th April, and go back on 23rd.
Miss Mabels is lovely, I would highly recommend, and easy to find, as right next door to Wickes!
How about a Wednesday..9th or 16th. I can fit in with most days though, except 15th, as taking DS1 to have his wisdom teeth out!

Hi gratefulgran54 Miss Mabel's in Burgess Hill it is then, and a Wednesday is good for me
Who else would like to join us, and do you have a preference between 9th and 16th April?
Let us know, and let's get this confirmed

Oh Dear I am away first two weeks of April and not back in country til 18th...so sadly looks like I will not be able to make it this time ( and I love Miss Mabel's too)

That sounds good. Out of those two dates I would prefer the 16th as it would save me having to change a dentist appointment.
Miss Mabels' sounds interesting!

Sorry to butt in, lol. OH went to primary school in Burgess Hill, to Junction Road- about 1951 to 54. I wonder if any of you were at school with him

He played squash with a woman for years at his Club in Leicestershire before they realised they had been at that school at the same time. OH's family then moved on to Surrey, where he finished his schooling in Walton and then Woking Grammar.

Have a nice time all...

As the GN survey has focussed minds on Gransnet locally, I'm giving this thread a bump to see if there are any more Sussex (East or West) Gransnetters interested in meeting up?

Bump.

Thanks granjura

LOL you are welcome. BTW do you know if Junction Road Primary school still exists. And does anyone know about Marle Place, now an adult education centre, where his family lived.

I did a photography course at Marle Place as few years ago, still going as an Adult Education centre granjura

Thanks- if ever you go back there- could you pick up a brochure if there are pictures of the place and send it to me (against postage of course)- it was a child reception centre at the time- for orphans or abandonned children- run by my OH's family (not easy for their own 3 children btw- which is why they eventually left).

I certainly will granjura. I never knew that it was a child reception centre. I'll call in next time I'm in the area. Try and get some photos for you too

Really kind- he has a few picture of the family there- in the early 50s, and very fond memories of the place.

Sorry for highjacking this thread- hope you have a lovely get together - perhaps some of you went to school with OH (he is from 1946 )
