A recent meeting with a GNer ( is that the word?!) revealed that she cant find any GNs in the west of Scotland. She's through here in Edinburgh every other Monday on Gran duty and I was wondering if any of the more local Grans would care to join us? Maybe a coffee or lunch in a hotel (as she'll have the angelic baby GD with her and it might be easier to accommodate the pram than in a cafe.)

Should be fine by me. I certainly agree re ROSL! Great venue.

Marelli Thu 16-Apr-15 18:15:14

11th May's fine by me, Elegran. ROSL is perfect.

Elegran Thu 16-Apr-15 18:12:04

That should get us membership prices!

Suits me Elegran as you say I will be in Edinburgh anyway, however if
a different day suits everyone else I would endeavour to make it anyway. In Derby previous week and away on 16th for a week. If we do settle on the Monday I will get my GD to bring her credit card smile.

The 11th of May is a Monday, which means Dunit will be in Edinburgh. How does that suit everyone? Dunit? Marmight? Jane10? Marelli? Elizabeth1? Have I missed anyone? Do we fancy the ROSL again? Central and pleasant.

See you on 4th June, Anno Also Marelli, Elizabeth1 and Thatbags (do you need a bed again, Bags? )

I am already looking forward to June 4th. I will be coming down from Dundee where we will have been celebrating my sister's 70th. I should get into Waverley about 11.40.

Marelli Thu 16-Apr-15 09:56:30

Sounds good to me. I'm away from 24/4 till 2/5, though.

Elegran Thu 16-Apr-15 09:16:24

Its a long time until June 4th. Can we do something midway to keep us going? Something Marmight, Jane10, and Dunit can make? And anyone else . . .

Marmight Thu 16-Apr-15 07:52:13

Can't manage 4 June as I will not be back from France until the 8th.

Elizabeth1 Thu 16-Apr-15 07:31:53

Im free Marelli would love to come along. Sorry I missed the previous outing as family were in a bit of a crisis poor things. Here's hoping.

Thankyou Tegan Will keep my eye on dates

Tegan Wed 15-Apr-15 20:35:40

You could join our Derby/Leicester/Nottingham meet up BiN.....smile

Marelli Wed 15-Apr-15 20:16:44

Haven't managed to get hold of Elizabeth1 yet, but I think she'd definitely like to come along if she can. Haven't met anno yet! smile

thatbags Wed 15-Apr-15 20:08:48

I could do 4 June. It'd be nice to meet you again, anno.

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 15-Apr-15 20:01:20

Sorry...as you say Marelli no good for me...would certainly think about heading over for a meet up other than a Monday but heading down to Derby that day.

Marelli Wed 15-Apr-15 18:23:06

sad....it perhaps wouldn't work for BiNthe either, as it's not a Monday. It would be nice to meet up with anno, though - Elegran, Elizabeth1, are you free?

Elegran Wed 15-Apr-15 18:21:26

I could manage June 4th.

Jane10 Wed 15-Apr-15 18:10:56

Tragically we're off to France that very day!

Marelli Wed 15-Apr-15 17:27:57

I could manage June 4th, anno. Is anyone else free for that date? smile

annodomini Wed 15-Apr-15 17:24:24

Yes - another time! I can always get a later train. Next time is June 4th.

Jane10 Wed 15-Apr-15 17:19:10

Oh anno what a shame. We struck so lucky with the venue and had a lovely chat. Enjoyed the company of a tiny little trainee Gransnetter too. Maybe next time?

Elegran Wed 15-Apr-15 16:51:07

Moral - always check!

BiNtHeReDuNiT14 Wed 15-Apr-15 16:35:08

Oh what a shame! You should have mentioned you would be in the area. Maybe next time.

annodomini Wed 15-Apr-15 15:16:26

Blimey! I changed trains in Edinburgh on Monday - at lunchtime! Oh well, no point in contemplating what might have been!

Elegran Wed 15-Apr-15 14:43:40

I don't know what happened there. It should have started "It was . . ."
