...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.

When I went to the meet up at BMAG in 2012, as I have mo bility problems I asked if there was a lift, was told no, so took ages struggling up the stairs. I`d love to come again, but too many changes on the train for me to manage nowadays. Also expensive train fares don`t help.

CallGirl1 would John Lewis suit you better? I think they have lifts and escalators? Plus it's nearer to the station.

Nonnie Mon 12-Jun-17 09:48:53

The scones are better at JL!

callgirl1 Mon 12-Jun-17 17:52:18

Sorry Blinko, I`d love to come, but the train fares are too much, plus it`s 3 trains for me, I just can`t manage anymore with all the changes.

Blinko Mon 12-Jun-17 19:01:56

Sorry you can't make it, callgirl1. Maybe we could do a meet up nearer to you next time?

Blinko Mon 12-Jun-17 19:03:28

Looking like Nonnie, Elrel and moi at the mo. Any more takers?

Blinko Mon 12-Jun-17 19:03:57

JL sounds good...

Anya Mon 12-Jun-17 19:33:57

Is JL near to New Street station?

Anya Mon 12-Jun-17 19:34:59

If so, could make it for coffee? But need to be back for school run.

Nonnie Tue 13-Jun-17 10:29:30

Anya JL is in Grand Central which is at New St station.There is a room at the back of the cafe where we could all meet, on one side there is a bull on the wall so it would be a focal point to aim for. What time is best?

Anya Tue 13-Jun-17 10:47:40

11ish is good for me Nonnie - I would be good t see you again smile

Nonnie Tue 13-Jun-17 12:55:28

Anya fine, see you there and hope others will be able to join us.

Blinko Tue 13-Jun-17 15:19:14

Looks like we have a time and a venue. It will be great to be able to put more faces to names. I'll be wearing a coral mac, pretty noticeable (unless you're my OH who looks but doesn't see). Shall I do a laminated GN notice in case more turn up?

Elrel Tue 13-Jun-17 18:24:16

A notice would be a good idea! 11 it is then!

pensionpat Wed 14-Jun-17 12:57:37

I would like to join you.

Hellobaby1 Wed 14-Jun-17 13:04:21

Hi all, I shall be making my way back to B'ham Thursday, not sure what time I will get back but if in time I will join you all, if not see you at the next meet up. Have fun!

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.

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

Are we still on for tomorrow?

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

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

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

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

Will find you all!

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.

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

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