We have recently moved to the Allestree area of Derby and are also new grandparents. Is there anyone out there who'd like to get together occasionally for a coffee/chat or similar?

You had a chauffeur! grin. I'm drinking now though!

suebailey1 Tue 12-Aug-14 18:40:17

oh and I drank - they didn't!

suebailey1 Tue 12-Aug-14 18:40:00

We came, we saw, we lunched and we laughed - excellent meeting - be lovely to do it again soon with a few more of us.smile

I`d love to say yes, but it`s the getting there that`s the problem, but never say never!

kittylester Tue 12-Aug-14 16:53:34

We were terribly exclusive number there were just the 3 of us eventually (plus sue's husband towards the end) and I really enjoyed meeting up with Sue and Tegan.

Next time number? smile

Tegan Tue 12-Aug-14 10:24:13

We'll be doing it again; maybe venture more eastwards [if kittylester will drive mewink]?

kittylester Tue 12-Aug-14 08:10:11

Last chance to join this exclusive meet up. Pm me or Tegan if you'd like to join us! Although it says 'Derby' the venue is easily accessible from Leicester or Nottingham!

kittylester Sat 09-Aug-14 11:24:04

I'll pm you Sue with directions, if I can remember which way my satnav sent me last time! grin

suebailey1 Sat 09-Aug-14 10:13:12

I'm going!smile

kittylester Sat 09-Aug-14 09:49:04

I'm bumping this so that people who were interested in a Derby meet-up can see it.

Are you around GranJura anyone else from the East Midlands?

Tegan Tue 05-Aug-14 14:36:33

A small but select group of us are still meeting up on 12th but we may change the venue. If anyone is interested please pm me or kittylester.

kittylester Sat 12-Jul-14 16:58:16

Me, me, me!! grin

Tegan Sat 12-Jul-14 16:08:37

Definately the 12th now if anyone wants to join in smile.

Tegan Sat 12-Jul-14 12:22:09

We're throwing the idea around of a meet up at East Midlands Airport [the hotel there; can't remember it's name hmm] on 12 Aug. [sue I've pm'd you about the date]. May only be a select group of 4 but anyone and everyone are welcome to join us!

kittylester Tue 08-Jul-14 13:16:30

Shall I do a more general East Mids thread?

Tegan Tue 08-Jul-14 12:52:05

We drove through Melton Mowbray on the way to Newmarket and strangely enough I got talking to someone at the gym yesterday whose daughter works with the military animals there. I missed the original post as I was away that weekend..we've been trying to get another Derby meet up off the ground for ages [feeling a bit billynomates'ish sad]. I've yet to use my bus pass to get into Derby so it would be a good way to use it!

suebailey1 Tue 08-Jul-14 08:49:46

| live in Melton Mowbray but I could get there too.

Toglassie Mon 07-Jul-14 17:09:40

I would love to meet up with any other Grans in the Derby/Darley/Allestree/Duffield areas!

kittylester Sat 28-Jun-14 16:04:47

Why don't we try to do a bigger meet up with other people in the area?

shushab Sat 28-Jun-14 09:18:40

kittylester and trendygran: Which days are you free to meet up?

trendygran Fri 27-Jun-14 20:42:57

I could easily get to Derby centre to meet up . I shop in Derby sometimes now as it beats Nottingham 's very run down shopping centres.
