Meet up for North East,Tyne and Wear or Northumberland

But we will raise a glass to you, wherever and whenever you meet, won't we, Galen?

Oh I'd love a trip to Newcastle. haven't been for years! well probably since I spent a half term holiday with my friend whose dad was a dentist in Newcastle..Two Ball Lonnen?? Have I got that right? Probably 1961

silverfish if I was a GN in the NE I might make sure the meet up was always on a weekday.. you have not made yourself sound very friendly!
I also work and look after grandchildren ..a lot on here do! But I would find weekend comittments equally tricky to juggle. If you really want to do something you can usually find a way!

Stans gran, Please note I have never insulted Panis or whatever its called as I have never been there and cannnot comment. I was commenting on it being city in the summer and would be hot and dusty. I said that I would prefer the countryside as I can go to the city any day. Please do not infer that I have made libellous remarks re Pennis.

whats penis restaurant like just curious

Do you know what you just said Silver?

penis ?

im getting tired think I should go to bed soon, I cant spell when im tired

Or are you just taking the mick, Silverfish?

who was Dennis Pennis, was he in a sitcom. He was on tv many years ago. Anyone remember him.

Yes, ginger, with glasses. He was in spoof documentaries.

(No, not Chris Evans )

?

Good heavens. I have only been gone for a year and Newcastle - a city I had grown to like very much - has apparently degenerated into a dusty hell hole where the only thing to eat is dried-up sandwiches and the beer is full of flies. It's a good thing glass et al that we stuck to bottles glasses of wine on our merry excursions.

I am afraid you would not enjoy a meet up Silverfish, all the ladies are way too pleasant, you would feel like a fish out of water.

Glad you're still with us Absent, we were beginning to worry about you!
We will miss you on 11th and raise our (many) glasses to you.

glass I would like to suggest that we stick to 11th, and the city centre, as it is convenient for a good number of us - you, me, gillybob, ayse, moomin, and gillieb (hope I haven't forgotten anyone), and silverfish could join us if she wanted to.
Then she could state another time/venue say in a few weeks time, convenient to herself and anyone who wanted to could join her then.

I am happy to go with that jane but if anyone has any other suggestion for different date/venue please speak up. Hello absent you have been living up to your name again!!!
jane I am sure absent will be with us in spirit

silver if you would like another meet up arranged for a Saturday we can do that, not sure how many will be able to attend but there may be Gransnetters like yourself who cant do a mid week meet up.

France?

I might be able to make an October meet-up ..... or possibly one in Edinburgh.

ffinn Would love a French meet up look forward to October if you can make it x

I know that as a NW gran, this is none of my business, but surely, Silverfish, this is all a big wind-up. Time to come clean.

ffinnochio I agree it is about time for another Edinburgh meetup. Any ideas for that from the NE people?

How about during the Festival?

Thinking of joining you in Newcastle on the 11th if that's ok? Possibly Marelli too. A meet up during the Ed Fest would be a very good idea. Beds available again chez moi if anyone wants to make the most of their visit so long as it's after 12 August!

marmight it would be great if you and marelli could join us, elegran is trying to shuffle things to come too.

I would love to come up to Edinburgh but depends on dates as we have a week booked in July and Aug up at the house.

It would be great Marmight, Marelli and Elegran if you could get down to the Newcastle meet-up!

I'd love to come to Edinburgh as well, depends on the dates if in August.
