...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'm at the dentist one day that week [think it's the Tuesday..need to check]so later in the week would be better.

I live a 25 minute train ride from Birmingham, so would love to attend your meet up (depending on the date as on hols part of September).

The room with the bull used to always be open. A member of staff told me that they now open it when they're especially busy. Where we sat was fine, a very enjoyable coffee and chat. And scon/scone!

Great to see so many fellow GNers yesterday. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in September, dates tbn. Hope more West Mids people will be able to join us then too. JL Grand Central seems a good central meeting point. Any other suggestions? brew cupcake

Lovely to meet you all, looking forward seeing people in September!

Anya Thu 22-Jun-17 17:13:12

Yes, thank you to those who organised this. Lovely to put faces to names and find out about you. Not long back home, just having a wine and a sit down.

What a lovely meet-up. There will be an extra dimension to reading your threads, Anya, Nonnie, Blinko, Lucky Legs and Elrel. Looking forward to the next one. X

Glad I logged on and saw this Meetup. What a pleasure to meet you all.

Anya Thu 22-Jun-17 09:16:02

If any Ines coming from a southerly direction by train, I'll be getting on at Warwick about 10.00 . Cream trench style jacket, jeans and distinctive bag.

pensionpat Thu 22-Jun-17 07:33:49

Even without a notice I think we would find each other!

Luckylegs9 Thu 22-Jun-17 06:01:25

I will try to find you. Only just seen the details, I am coming in to Birmingham and will look out for the coral Mac.

Anya Wed 21-Jun-17 19:52:15

Will find you all!

Blinko Wed 21-Jun-17 19:16:41

Yep. Looking forward to meeting more GNers. So pleased the weather has cooled down a bit. See you in JL in the coffee lounge by the bull on the wall.. I'll do a GN notice. Looks like the coral mac could be appropriate after all (re weather) smile

Elrel Wed 21-Jun-17 18:17:39

I am! JL in GC at ll, see you there!

Anya Wed 21-Jun-17 15:09:11

Are we still on for tomorrow?

Blinko Thu 15-Jun-17 05:50:16

Pensionpat it would be lovely to see you. Great stuff! HelloBaby, likewise, hope you're able to make it.
