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.)

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

Jane10 Thu 16-Apr-15 18:16:07

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

Thanks for the offer of a bed again on 4 June, elegran, but I should be allright doing a day trip this time.

Elegran Thu 16-Apr-15 18:23:47

So that is four of us (plus the girl with the pink credit card) I must put both these dates into the diary right now - and do a spot of booking soon. I shall wait a bit until we see whether anyone else can join us.

Marelli Thu 16-Apr-15 18:31:33

I'll send Elizabeth1 a message, Elegran.

Elizabeth1 Thu 16-Apr-15 18:43:21

I'd love to come along too. Elegran please add me to the head count. Look forward to seeing everyone.

ROSL lovely. Must listen for 1 o'clock gun this time!

Elegran Thu 16-Apr-15 19:05:11

I'll add you, Elizabeth1

Elegran Thu 16-Apr-15 19:13:13

I am always impressed by how fast our meetups fill up.

Marelli Thu 16-Apr-15 23:02:15

I love our meetings, and it's great when we have a new face to put a name to (or is that the other way round confused ) !

I've just caught up with this thread, thought you were still talking about the original one!

Can I come along on May 11th please? Can't do 4th June unfortunately.

Elegran Sun 26-Apr-15 19:55:19

Of course you can, Baubles. we should have started new threads for these two. I shall do that right now, as I have finally (I hope) sorted out all the sign-ins and usernames I have that need my email address. Today it changes from a Virgin Media one to a BT one, so I have spent the day logging in on one address and changing it to the other. Tomorrow I shall find out which I have missed.

New thread coming up. I'll start a new one for June 4th while I am at it.

Don't forget me sad

ffinnochio Mon 04-May-15 13:48:20

Wish I could join you all again. I'd have my wits about me a little more second time around. Blame it on jet-lag wink
Have a great lunch !

Elegran Mon 04-May-15 13:49:09

As if we could, Baubles!
Ffinnochio Wish you could too.

Elegran Mon 04-May-15 13:50:35

Have now phoned them a third time to say it will be nine. blush

Monday 11th May meet up in Edinburgh at Royal Overseas League Club. I am a new member of gransnet and would love to meet up in Edinburgh. If this is ok can someone confirm time .... 12 noon?

Elegran Mon 04-May-15 14:11:47

You will be very welcome. indigo. It is 12.30 for one o'clock. Will you find the place OK?

Yes thank you, looking forward to it.

baubles Mon 04-May-15 15:14:38

Aww, Ffinn I wish you could come along too. I certainly didn't notice any lack of wits the last time grin.

Looking forward to meeting you indigo.

Marelli Mon 04-May-15 16:25:05

This is going to be lovely! So looking forward to seeing 2 new faces, as well - (wish we could have you with us again, too, Ffinnochio).

ffinnochio Mon 04-May-15 17:19:53
