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.

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??

Great, see you all on Thursday

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.

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

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.

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

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

whenim64 Mon 03-Nov-14 21:43:23

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

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.

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?

seasider Mon 03-Nov-14 08:10:06

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

rubylady Mon 03-Nov-14 01:24:11

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

whenim64 Sun 02-Nov-14 09:47:19

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

vegasmags Sat 01-Nov-14 22:53:21

See you all then grin

annodomini Sat 01-Nov-14 17:19:15

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.

Sewsilver Fri 24-Oct-14 08:34:33

Yes I can make 13th of November too. I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone. Please could we confirm times as soon as possible as I need to organise taking time off work?

MariClaire Tue 21-Oct-14 06:08:47

whenim64 Wouldn't that be fun! smile

Iam64 Mon 20-Oct-14 14:07:18

Yes, have put the 13th November in my diary. It'll be good to meet up x

whenim64 Mon 20-Oct-14 10:18:00

MariClaire if only we could meet up near you! smile

whenim64 Mon 20-Oct-14 10:17:03

Good to hear from you, GinnyTonic. I hope we get to see you next time smile

GinnyTonic Mon 20-Oct-14 10:13:00

Hope everyone enjoys a great meetup. Sorry I cant make it - too much going on that week. I thought retirement was a rest - not this year !

MariClaire Mon 20-Oct-14 05:29:09

I would so love to join you, but I live in the US (and SouthWest at that!). Enjoy!!

Nelliemoser Sun 19-Oct-14 23:44:36

Yes! It sounds OK to me so far.

whenim64 Sun 19-Oct-14 22:51:03

That would be great, number. We'll hope for the best! smile
