When and I have put our heads together (metaphorically) and come up with the second week in November at the Coach House at the Trafford Centre which has suited us well in the past. Could you let us know if you're able to come and which day(s) would suit you best. As far as I know, I'm flexible.

November 13th it is. Coach House restaurant beside Trafford Centre. is 12.30 for 1 OK? Looking forward to seeing everyone and if there's anyone else who can make it., it isn't too late.

See you all then grin

Smashing - I'll book us a table, though there's always space for us.

Hi, only just saw this thread. I could make it to the Coach House if I am feeling ok on the day. I've not been well so I'll see how I am going up to that date and let you know nearer the time. I do hope I am well though, I would love to put faces to names. X

Just waiting to hear if I have to be in work. Will let you know asap

nonnasusie Mon 03-Nov-14 14:37:10

I'd love to meet everyone too but I won't be in the north west until Christmas and then will be busy with the family!!! Perhaps you all would like to come to Cassino?

annodomini Mon 03-Nov-14 14:48:52

Great idea Nonnasusie. Wonder if we could get sponsorship for a trip! Rubylady, I do hope you will feel up to it on the 13th.

rubylady it would be lovely if you can make it. Most of us are creaking and have bits falling off, so you'd be in good company! grin

It is sure to be more entertaining than the U3A Class I would otherwise be going to. I am looking forward to that.

hummingbird Mon 03-Nov-14 23:06:07

Sorry, I'm working that day. Maybe next time - it would be lovely to see you all again x

Sadly, I'm not going to be able to make it after all. A friend has lost her husband of 47 years and the funeral is to take place on the 12th. She has asked me to stay overnight afterwards, and I'm unlikely to be able to get away in time for the meet up. I will look forward to the next one, though.

whenim64 Tue 04-Nov-14 11:27:33

Sorry we'll miss you, vegas and hummingbird. I hope you get to the next one smile

Coach House is booked for 6 plus, in case anyone else is able to join us.
This Thursday, 13/11, table ready for 1pm, meet 12.30 onwards. Here's the menu if anyone wants it. See you on Thursday, everyone.

Great, see you all on Thursday

seasider Wed 12-Nov-14 23:47:23

Really sorry everybody I cannot come tomorrow. I am having a minor operation on Friday and will be off work so lots to catch up on. I also have a school presentation in the afternoon I cannot get cover for.Apologies from Grammar and Littlemisssunshine. Hope you have a lovely lunch.

PS When .Grammar asked me to remind you about the local Cheshire site??

annsixty Thu 13-Nov-14 08:43:05

I hope you all have a lovely lunch and natter and the company and laughs lift all your spirits.

Iam64 Thu 13-Nov-14 08:51:32

sorry to hear you an sunshine won't be joining the get together today. See you next time hopefully

whenim64 Thu 13-Nov-14 09:02:27

Looking forward to seeing those Gransnetters who are able to make it today. See you later.

annodomini Thu 13-Nov-14 09:56:40

And then there were.... how many? Sad that you can't make it, Seasider et al, but better luck next time.

whenim64 Thu 13-Nov-14 10:14:06

I think there's about four of us now, anno. It'll be an enjoyable meetup, nonetheless.

seasider Thu 13-Nov-14 18:07:43

Hi hope you all had a good lunch. I volunteer for a national charity and was due to do a school presentation which I could not get anyone to cover. I arrived at the school to be told that they had cancelled on Monday as Ofsted were visiting. The office had forgot to pass on the message. To say I was not pleased is an understatement! I could have come!angry

vegasmags Thu 13-Nov-14 18:42:33

I hope you all had a lovely time - was gutted to miss it and already looking forward to the next one.

whenim64 Thu 13-Nov-14 20:38:44

We did have a lovely get-together and missed you all, so I hope you can make it next time. We'll fix another one up in the new year.

There was a lot of chat and we all dashed off when we realised it was getting on for four o'clock - these lunches get longer and longer grin

Iam64 Thu 13-Nov-14 21:25:57

It was another jolly get together. Thanks to everyone and sorry to hear your news seasider, how frustrating, hope to see you and others next time
