If we meet early enough somewhere around Highcross (say noon) those of us who want to can go to the Cathedral and those who don't could go shopping with Tegan's credit card. Sorted grin

I want to do that also Nellie.Ijust don't know Leicester well enough to work out the logistics of it. Roderick; we've got to stick with Leicester this time because of it all linking in with Richard III, but I'll do a Loughborough one at a later date [there'll be no stopping me once I start to use my bus pass properly!].

I might be tempted if I can pull in a visit to the Cathedral as well as I was planning to do that anyway, just to make it worth my while.

I live in Loughborough but can only go into town because I have to use a mobility scooter

Tegan Thu 26-Mar-15 14:11:44

I don't know Loughborough very well either! I must learn how to do the bus thing, especially as it stops almost next to my house....

I don't mind any date. I divide my time between Leicester and Scotland, but I'm very flexible! x

Hi, I'm in. Well done Tegan!!

I do the school run on Wednesdays but could maybe change to Monday if Wednesdays suit everyone better. Carluccio's sounds best to me as I know they are good for GF but I can manage most places. JL, strangely, don't seem to 'get' gf! confused

I'll look after your credit card Tegan!! grin I could pick you up in Loughborough if it helps!

Any suitable date? I sometimes have to do the school run on Mondays.

Or Carluccio's? Or a traditional Café like Mrs Bridges- might be able to book part of it with the owner/Chef (one of my ex students). All within easy reach of the Cathedral- JL too.

As long as someone confiscates my credit card while I'm in the shop [I love John Lewis!].

J52 Thu 26-Mar-15 13:05:08

How about John Lewis restaurant?

Tegan Thu 26-Mar-15 12:55:49

In May? Some of us have been throwing a few ideas around. I can get a bus to Leicester [although I don't know the place very well]. Are there and dates/venues etc that would suit various people?
