Birmingham meet up....

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?

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

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

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?

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

Is JL near to New Street station?

JL sounds good...

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

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

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.

The scones are better at JL!

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

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.

....I'll be in Northumberland...sorry; would love to have come....

Am away that day but will try to make the next one

BMAG does have a lift, not right by the tearoom but not too far away.
Previously some of us met at John Lewis, either suits me.

Oh, this is looking more like it! Would 12noon for lunch suit everyone? Or we could meet at 11am for coffee if that's more convenient? Or indeed, afternoon tea? What's best? I can do any time.

As to where, does anyone have mobility problems? That could dictate where's the most accessible. Last time (April) three of us met at the B'ham Museum and Art Gallery.

Should be fine!)

I'm in Solihull on 22nd so will be very near. Where and what time?

Oops, Nonnie and Teegan, sorry I missed you names off the list...

Calling Maw Broon, Elrel, HelloBaby, SaraLou, Teetime so how are we fixed for 22nd? Anyone free then?

Absolootly nothing happening on 8 June

Doesn't like like anything's happening on 8th June then??

I wish there was some way linked threads could be signposted to each other.... also that we could be notified if someone posts on a current thread we're on. Calling GN HQ, is there any way, please?

It was good to meet with Elrel and Hellobaby yesterday in the tea room at the Museum and Art Gallery. Nice to be able to put names to people irl, and to know we can meet from time to time. It would be great to meet more Midland GNers in due course. Hope some of us can get together again on one of the dates in June 8th or 22nd.
