...some of us are keen to have another meet up. I think the art gallery was a good place, especially now it has been re vamped. I'm away on and off quite a lot over the next couple of months, but if any of the 'locals' arrange something I'll do my best to fit in. The good thing about the art gallery is that there's no need to book a table so numbers can be more flexible.

I shall dig out the coral mac again. Seemed to work well last time some of us met. Also, I have a GN 'poster' to stand on our table, once inside for anyone who comes along later. Looking forward to seeing some old and some new faces smile

Do we have to wear a red carnation and hover, don't want to latch onto the wrong group!.... I will try to be there but it depends on family circumstances

Outside the Art Gallery at 11.00am on 11th October?

Shall we confirm this date and venue, and anyone who can make it post on this thread?

The Art Gallery would suit me too

I like the Art Gallery. I think it's also fairly accessible for people with limited mobility.

I tend to think that meeting at somewhere like the Art Gallery (where you don't have to book) is a good idea as people always tend to have to drop out at the last minute. I'm back from holiday then so might tootle along (although it does take me weeks to unpack and get back to any sort of normality). I love the Art Gallery.

Just thought I would push this to the top. The Art Gallery has been suggested as a venue to meet?

Venue?

11ish is good. People who could spare the time could have lunch.

Anya Thu 24-Aug-17 07:42:23

11.00 ish???

At the moment 11th October seems fine for me, but will know nearer the time.

NannyJan53 Thu 24-Aug-17 07:32:48

Just need to decide a time and place now grin

pensionpat Tue 22-Aug-17 14:36:31

I can make Wed 11th. October. Hurrah!

Blinko Tue 22-Aug-17 13:20:59

The more the merrier, Lazigirl. Looking forward to seeing as many as can make the 11th October.

Anya Mon 21-Aug-17 16:51:14

Don't know about that Lazigirl 1hmm]

Only joking of course grin I'm not in charge here but I think we'd all love to meet you.

Lazigirl Mon 21-Aug-17 14:02:28

Hi. I'm in Shropshire but seems to be nothing doing locally with GNET so would love to meet up. Is it OK if I come?

Elrel Mon 21-Aug-17 12:51:47

Unfortunately I'm not able to make term time Tuesdays or Wednesdays but shall be with you in spirit! ☕️?

NannyJan53 Mon 21-Aug-17 12:14:46

Yes, Wednesday 11th October is ok for me. Hopefully others can make that date too?

Anya Sat 19-Aug-17 20:53:17

How about I propose a date - say Wednesday 11th October and we take it from there?? ?

NannyJan53 Sun 13-Aug-17 18:29:20

Not sure who makes the decision on this? W/C 9th October is good for me.

Blinko Thu 10-Aug-17 20:42:47

Hi again. Have we agreed a date yet?

Anya Tue 08-Aug-17 09:02:41

I'll try and fit in with any arrangements made. Much more flexible this school year as 3 out of 4 grandchildren will now be attending schools where their parents work! Hopefully this will mean less school run duties.....we shall see though ?

pensionpat Tue 08-Aug-17 08:42:11

There is another Carluccios within New St. It us upstairs from the station and is just behind the many and varied eating places which can be seen from the ground level. I shall not be able to attend this one. Sunday is the day I see my family. There will be another!

Blinko Tue 08-Aug-17 08:34:11

I'm happy to go with the majority. We're not away till middle to end October, so earlier would be ok.

NannyJan53 Tue 08-Aug-17 08:30:35

I am away in Spain and not back until Fri 6th October, so second week would be better for me. Although I realise no date will be convenient for everyone, so have to go with the majority!
