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

I'm from lytham st annes new to the area would love to meet up with other gransnet people that also use a mobility scooter to enable to get some fresh air shop,have a coffee ect down at the beach especially.

glad you all enjoyed, sounds like you had a good tuck in, ( hope you all behaved yourselves! and didn't cause havoc in Lytham ! lovely place ...

It sounds like another excellent gransnet lunch, I'm so sorry I couldn't make it. Next time!

I really enjoyed myself. Lots of lovely chat and sunshine.

Glad t hear that When. Hope he is on the mend x

Good to see you had an enjoyable time. I'm so sorry to have missed it, but maybe the next one. My son was discharged from hospital today, so a good day all round

Hello Seasider
Thank you for organising the lunch today.

It was a super venue & the food was good too.

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone & hope our little group keeps on expanding.

Looking forward to next time & thanks again

Maeve

Lovely sunny day for our meet up in Lytham. We had a nice chatty lunch with Nellimoser ,Maeve and Genielight plus two potential new Gransnetters. Thanks Nellie for making the long trip

Hi Nellie yes we did meet at the Trafford Centre a couple of years ago .Loom forward to seeing you . Shame you can't make it I am .See you next time

Sorry I won't be able to enjoy a trip to the seaside on this occasion. I'm sure it'll be a great success and look forward to the next one.

seasider I have printed off the directions you gave and some maps for the town and restaurant details. I am fully intending to come. My train should get in at about 11:58hrs. (to be precise.)
Look forward to seeing you all. I think we met once a couple of years ago at a ? Chef and Brewer in the near the Trafford centre.

That's a shame Biker. Maybe next time .

Lovely sunny day here.See you tomorrow ladies !

Sorry all, tomorrow is now a no no for me now, as my DD gets the keys to their other house today and it is all hands to the deck (Painting etc etc ) hope you all have a lovely chat and get together

Marylane are you still coming along? Do you need directions?

That's a shame When. hope your son is ok. Biker it would be great to see you if you can come. I know you have mentioned you have visited Lytham before. I think Nellie is coming by train too. The venue is Whispers cafe/bistro which is on Clifton St (the main street) Lytham opposite Bodycare. If coming from the station take the path from the exit and walk down Park rd to the junction.Stringers department store is on your right. Turn left and walk a little way down Clifton St and Whispers is on the left. We have a table booked upstairs for about 12.30pm.

If driving there is some unrestricted parking on Lytham prom. Otherwise when you drive into Lytham from the direction of the M55 there is a pub called The Ship and Royal on the left. If you turn immediate left there is a car park which is £3.60 for up to three hours.

The menu is very varied with OAP specials! Looking forward to seeing you all

I hoped to come but doing hospital visits at present and Wednesday will either be another visit or I'll be taking my son home on discharge day. If things change, I'll be there.

Hello all....I have had my thinking cap on and there's a slight (well good) chance I may be able to manage to come to the meet If I do it will be my first one! So I will need to know where to meet/time etc, I will prob come on the train (although nice ride out on my bike, but would have to leave helmet and gear somewhere as wouldn't want them to think a group of "scary bikers arriving) !
so I will follow the thread, I can walk out of my door, turn left and the train station approx. 200 yards away, can get on train and go straight through to Lytham, I did it last year with GS. bfn.

That's a shame Anno. Never mind . We can always do it again in the future. The two new ladies from this area are coming along .

I have tried very hard to find a way of getting there by rail and concluded that I could more easily and more quickly reach London. As I can't trust my car at the moment I doubt if I can now make it to Lytham and will be very sad to miss meeting you all. Sorry....

Count me in. I have a cunning plan for my journey . I drive 5 miles north. get train from the station there and go back 5 miles south west to get the mainline train for Preston where I change to Lytham.
Then just reverse it to get home. It makes a lot more sense than it sounds, It's all down to being able to park free (or at all) at the first station.

That would be great Anno .Will do a recce from the station on Saturday and give you the details .

I'll try to find a way to get there.

Thanks I am .Were you bringing Anno? Can we confirm who will be coming just so I have rough numbers to book somewhere. I am sure a few either way will not matter .Look forward to seeing those who can come

I don't expect we're going to the same evening event Nelliemoser but I'm now out in Manchester late afternoon/early evening so may not be able to join the seaside get together this time. Will watch the thread and confirm/otherwise nearer the time.
