Who's up for a North West Meet-up?

Sorry to miss it, laid up with a chest infection.

Seasider, how frustrating for you. It would have been great to have seen you - and you, vegasmags. Next time. Let's not wait too long!

rubylady I hope you feel better soon and we get to meet you next time.

Glad you all enjoyed i. Hope to make it next time x

Only just joined sorry I couldn't meet you all

next time Para216 - hope you enjoy gransnet

Thanks when I'm having a pretty hard time just now. On second course of antibiotics. Just lying low and trying to get better. I look forward to meeting you too next time. I'm glad you had a great time this time.

Hi Everyone.
I'm in St Annes, looking to make new friends!..Thank you.

hello from another north west member. Any arrangements for a lunch get together in the New Year. Would love to meet some or all of you.

Yes, we'll arrange another one soon when everyone has got over Christmas and New Year. Do you have any suggestions? We've often met up at the Trafford Centre Coach House but somewhere different would be nice.

Anyone live in the Rochdale/Bury area for a Gransnet meet up?

I can get a train... I'll be there

We are having a little meet up in Blackpool on Thursday 12th February if anybody would like to join us.

I would have loved to join you, seasider but already have arrangements made for Thursday. I hope it goes really well. Let us know who went along and maybe a photo?

have a good meeting seasider, sorry I've already got something in for that day and afternoon

Would have loved to come, seasider, but have other commitments and, besides, my car is in a dodgy state at the moment!

Although I live in the North East, I have to travel to any meet ups, either in the east or west. I would have loved to come to Blackpool but I've only just seen the thread. Plus I am going to visit DD and family for half term in Scotland and will be travelling on Saturday 14th. I'll try to come to the next one.

How about us all arranging an additional northwest meetup to yours, that is nearer to Blackpool, in a few weeks' time, seasider? With plenty of notice and some suggestions for preferred dates, hopefully more of us could make it. Maybe a pub/restaurant on the outskirts of Blackpool so it's easy to park and drive back to the motorways for those who have longer journeys back home. Time we returned the compliment as you and others have travelled far enough for our get-togethers in the last couple of years.

It's a plan! I may go early to see the sea

when I'd be on the train though so couldn't get to a remoter location.

Hi everybody .The Blackpool meet up came about as we realised we have a few new members on the Fylde Coast. Sorry it was short notice. I will try to think of somewhere over this way that is accessible by car and bus/train. If you want to be away from the centre of Blackpool there are some nice places in St Annes /Lytham both of which have railway stations and buses from Blackpool/Preston and only about 10 minutes from the M55

St Annes/Lytham sounds a real treat seasider. Be good to see you again

Wish I could come, Seasider. I would love to be at the coast. Another time, please. I will research the trains because I am not keen on driving further than local destinations.

We had a lovely little lunch today in Blackpool . We would like the next North West meet up to be over this way so Genie and Maeve can meet some other Gransnetters and hopefully Saffie can also attend as she could not make it today. If you can get to Preston Anno there are trains every hour to Lytham. There is a very nice Weatherspoons walking distance from the station and lots of other eateries. You could make a day of it ladies and visit the shops or take a walk on the green by the sea. How about arranging a date before Easter?Wednesday or Thursday are the best days for us

Good to hear you enjoyed it seasider.

Annodomini, I'll be driving and could pick you up somewhere - I'll pm you
