I wish I could come and meet you all.I can get to Newcastle in about 45 mins. from where I live. Unfortunately I'm not available this Friday, have other commitments. Didn't see this post until the weekend just past.I'm fairly new to GN and it would be lovely to put faces to names. Maybe next time!envy

That's a pity Hilda - hope you can make it next time smile

gillybob Wed 09-Jul-14 08:25:45

That's such a shame hildajenniJ we would have loved to meet you . smile

We are a friendly lot. I am about 45 minutes away from Newcastle too taking into account a decent walk followed by Metro journey. I do hope you can make it next time. smile

Thanks janea and gillybob Look forward to the next meetup. Will keep my eye on the local page so that I don't miss it.

Hope to meet you next time hildaj you'd be very welcome, I think we all have to travel in from outside Newcastle as it's a convenient for meeting up for most of us.

Sometimes we even make it to Scotland!

I've just read this thread & I'm sorry to be missing what I'm sure will be a great day.

Hope you all have fun. I'm sure there will be copious amounts of wine brew and cupcake

Marelli Thu 10-Jul-14 13:53:09

We'll be missing you, too, baubles, but will raise our glasses, cakes and teacups to you and any others who weren't able to make it this time. Remember the noise we made nattering when it was absent's leaving 'do' in Darlington? shock We made such a racket - and I know it's going to be just the same this time! grin

gillybob Thu 10-Jul-14 14:02:28

I remember it well Marelli infact I will never forget it as I fell down blush twisted my ankle and cracked my knee cap. Poor glassortwo had to practically carry me to the station. Didn't half get "the look" from DH when I got home ! Ha ha...... and I only had one glass honest ! grin

gillybob Thu 10-Jul-14 14:02:56

moomin Thu 10-Jul-14 15:09:13

Yeah of course gilly wink

glassortwo Thu 10-Jul-14 19:07:33

baubles we will miss you, but hope to see you after your trip.
hildajenniJ hope to see you at the next meet up, I forget that the local site is there as no one seems to look over there.

Still a seat available at the table if anyone would like to join us

See you all tomorrow grin
