Isn't it about time we had another Birmingham meet up?

Any thoughts about date/venue/time?

Lunch maybe, early March or last week in February?

I'm cracking up that should read GS1

My cunning plan is to go to Brum on 18th August which is a Tuesday then stay with my cousin that night [my cousin has been warned but I haven't yet checked that the S.O. can look after the dog].

It's a possiblity, but where are these tea rooms you mentioned? I have absolutely NO sense of direction!! I know my way from Moor Street Station to the Bullring ... on a good day grin

They're in the Art Gallery. I think you just walk uphill from the station to the main square [by the Town Hall?]. I left something there that I'd bought in the shop last time; it might still be in lost property smile

Hi Elrel
I've just joined GN and I live near Birmingham and would love to meet up.

Tegan Sun 16-Aug-15 21:08:20

Iana; we're meeting tomorrow morning at the art gallery tea rooms if you're free. 3 of us will be at the 'floosie in the jacuzi at 11.30' then moving on to the tearooms. I'll pm my mobile in case you can come.

Hi Tegan, unfortunately cannot meet tomorrow, on grandparent duties Monday's and Tuesday's!! But thank you.

Tegan Sun 16-Aug-15 21:16:57

I'm sure we'll have another one at some point smile.

I have just taken delivery of my new Senior Railcard so when are we going and where please?

Won't be able to make it this time- but hopfully we can find a date last 2 weeks in October- either Leicester, Market Harborough or Oakham. Which would be best for you?

Teetime Tue 18-Aug-15 09:25:47

I can do any of those locations either by train or in the trusty Mildred. Most dates are OK but NOT 10/11/20 & 30th Oct. Hope to see you soon. smile

I should be up for something then, too!

As soon as I've been able to confirm our UK dates with DD1 (on holiday at the mo) - we can fix a date. I shall be in Market Harborough- so that is easiest for me, but happy to travel to Leicester or Oakham - I will have a car.

Very much enjoyed meeting three fellow Gransnetters at the Birmingham Art Gallery tearoom yesterday. Looking forward to the next meet up! I am in London fairly often to see GC and, having dipped my toes into the water, would be interested to go to a meet up there. Coventry and Wolverhampton are also possibilities.
