Hi everyone,

Purpledaffodil, Greenfinch and moi are planning (have agreed) to meet up in Dorking in Surrey for lunch.

We'd love others in the area to join us.

Please anyone who posts also suggest days that are convenient and maybe even suggest some dates!

Tuesdays or Wednesdays are best for me.

Just realised you don't have to PM me, because there is a "Comments" option on Doodle where you can post whatever information is needed. That way it is all in one place, so please add any dietary requirements etc. on the Doodle page:

Anyone who would feel happier if they had my mobile number can PM me. I'll make sure that I am there first smile

Hi again, all!

Well with a name like "Gorgeous Gerties" (sorry, no apostrophe!) there was no contest as to where we shall meet brew flowers cupcake wine

www.gorgeousgerties.co.uk/

A table has been booked for 12 noon on Thursday 19th November.

We can either order off the menu on the day (do have a look online), but they have asked that if anyone is going to have the afternoon tea for lunch shock grin to please let them know in advance and also whether there are any dietary restrictions to note.

I don't have time to PM everyone, so please PM me if you intend having an afternoon tea (sandwiches, cake, scones and bottomless cups of tea). Anyone who wants my mobile number please PM me.

Greenfinch Fri 06-Nov-15 07:08:32

I will be there. Hope you can make it deedaa.

Purpledaffodil Fri 06-Nov-15 06:45:43

Super! Me too please! smile

MiniMouse Thu 05-Nov-15 22:09:25

Me, too, please smile

Grannyknot Thu 05-Nov-15 22:03:14

Oh great yoga! That's good news.

Grannyknot Thu 05-Nov-15 22:02:25

Hi deedaa there was a choice of three dates, (see Doodle link posted earlier ^^ and we've settled on Thursday 19th November.

It would be lovely to have more people come.

Yes do come bellsnwhistles smile

Deedaa Thu 05-Nov-15 21:42:57

Sorry, are we talking November or December now?

Bellsnwhistles Thu 05-Nov-15 21:25:10

Just noticed proposed date 19th nov. yippee. Can I please join in?

yogagran Thu 05-Nov-15 21:24:06

Yes Grannyknot, you're correct that the 19th was my possible and that has now changed to a "yes" if you'd include me in too please

Bellsnwhistles Thu 05-Nov-15 21:23:47

Ooooohh I'd love to join in if that is ok. But sadly can't if it is in December. I'm off to Australia, visiting family, from 29th November. I arrive in aus the day before my mum's 99th birthday and staying til after Christmas.
Hope you have a lovely meet up.

Grannyknot Thu 05-Nov-15 17:55:30

Hi everyone, sorry it all went quiet, long working day today.

Having revisited all the options, the date will be [drum roll] ...

19th November.

Unfortunately that means that yoga (unless that was your possible and becomes a yes) and alchemillamollis won't be able to join us, but we will aim to have another one in the not too distant future (also hopefully with granjura).

Now to find a venue - watch this space.

smile

Greenfinch Thu 05-Nov-15 07:15:58

Sorry no good for me either.

alchemillamollis Wed 04-Nov-15 22:59:50

Oh dear, sorry - Thursdays are not great for me - I have a commitment at lunchtime. Teatime on that day would be OK! Or evening...

Purpledaffodil Wed 04-Nov-15 22:25:07

What a mind boggling image. grin grin grin

Grannyknot Wed 04-Nov-15 22:14:43

Its difficult to Doodle lying flat on your back with your Kindle in the air.

grin

Purpledaffodil Wed 04-Nov-15 22:12:53

Wot no high tech Doodle? grin. I can do that one smile
So many smileys, so,little time!

Grannyknot Wed 04-Nov-15 21:38:29

Hi everyone, let's try one more option for our Dorking meet up. Who can do Thursday 3rd December?

Purpledaffodil Wed 04-Nov-15 20:48:26

Really sorry everybody, but I have a meeting on that day which involves outside bodies and cannot be altered. Please do go ahead without me if I am the only non starter. Xx

Grannyknot Wed 04-Nov-15 13:56:54

purple (and everyone) re Doodle, I'm so clever, it hurts! grin

yoga there is, but I chose to ignore it in the setting up, I can just about cope with the three date options as a "yes" or "no" grin

There's a "drat" now because the one date that we can all do apart from purple, is the 2nd December. Will consult with her, just in case there's wriggle room.

yogagran Wed 04-Nov-15 13:07:03

I've Doodled too, new experience for me as well . Just wish that there was an option for "possible but not so good"

MiniMouse Wed 04-Nov-15 12:04:45

I've Doodled! Another new experience grin All dates OK with me smile

alchemillamollis Wed 04-Nov-15 11:42:51

I can only do Wed 2 Dec of those dates, but do go ahead without me if the other dates are better for most. I can then join you later at Wisley! Doodle is great - I may start using that, if I can manage it. smile

Greenfinch Wed 04-Nov-15 11:39:11

Ican offer all three dates at the moment but will have to pull out if asked to work. That is only likely on the last date. Looking forward to it.

Purpledaffodil Wed 04-Nov-15 10:44:32

Aren't you the clever one Grannyknot? I have been on Doodle and ticked my possible dates. Thanks. xx
