I have six names for lunch in Edinburgh on Monday May 11th. They are

Jane10
BiNtHeReDuNiT14 (hereafter referred to as Dunit)
Marelli
Elizabeth1
Baubles
Elegran

plus Dunit minima (I hope she brings her credit card)

Those who were there at the last meetup all said they would like to go back to the ROSL. Does that meet with everyone's approval? If so I shall book for 12.30 or 1.00 for six - unless anyone else can make it? I'll hold fire for a day or so in case the numbers go up.

Boarding school wasn't all it was cracked up to be back in the 60's - I should know. All that talk of midnight feasts was twaddle!!
Definitely has to be en suite 4* accommodation wink

Could it be a 5 star bunkhouse with en suites? I loved the Mallory Towers books. Couldn't understand why my parents wouldn't send me to boarding school! Oh well

That sounds like fun Elegran. As a child I dreamed of going to boarding school, probably the result of reading too many Chalet School stories. grin

Elegran Mon 11-May-15 23:26:40

Maybe we should take over a whole bunkhouse and have midnight feasts?

Really enjoyed meeting up with you today and all the chat. Lunch was lovely.
Many thanks Elegran for amending your arrangements to include me at such short notice.

Bunkhouse!!! You know my views on that Dunit! Despite that suggestion we did have a lovely time. Great venue, food and best of all, company. Hope next meet up goes well -I might see you in August (provided no bunkhouses involved)

Greatly appreciated Elegran thanks for arranging this lovely venue with great food. I enjoyed chatting to our recent gransnetters and meeting up with those "others" who I'm now feeling quite close to after the many other occasions where we have met up. Hope you have recovered from your tumble - take care everyone smile

Just home, thanks everyone for a lovely meet up and especially Elegran for booking 'our' lovely restaurant, food was delicious as usual. Look forward to another chatty lunch in June and 'Bunkhouse' (just kidding!!) in August.

Marelli Mon 11-May-15 17:45:18

Thank you for a lovely meet up today, everyone. We talked non-stop and ate loads of delicious food! Once more, Elegran sorted everything for us and it was very much appreciated. smile

Thanks all for a very enjoyable get together, great company.

Special thanks to you Elegran for once again organising our lunch. smile

Elegran Mon 11-May-15 17:11:45

Yes, another good lunch in excellent company. Looking forward to 4th June (already booked for 7, but no doubt the numbers will change before then. I'll start a new thread soon.)

Marmight Mon 11-May-15 17:05:24

Just home from a very jolly get together. Good to meet a couple of new faces! Thanks again Elegran for arranging it. See you all again in August. Sorry to miss the June lunch.

Elegran Mon 11-May-15 10:35:08

We will raise a wine to absent friends.

Jane10 Mon 11-May-15 09:50:23

Thanks all. I'll certainly do my best to enjoy it and I don't think that will be too hard!

Have a lovely time! I love the city and would have jumped at the excuse to visit and meet some fellow Gransnetters but have to go to work sad

See you all there smile
