April in Edinburgh

As well as the old familiar faces.

Thatbags Thanks for replying to gaga1949 and Cinders123. I have been out and have only just got back to the computer for a quick check before bed. I shall PM them - but you have told them everything they need to know.

Here is my list of those who will be there. If I have missed you out, or added you by mistake, do correct me. There are places for more - up to 40! I shall be asking for money in the middle of March, but if you want to give it to me earlier I won't refuse it - PM me to ask where to send a cheque, or to get a bank reference for an online transfer.

elegran have you forgotten gillybob

You are right Elegran , ROSL are booked up for the two nights, so I am booked in at Motel One near the station. Good price and can be cancelled at no charge right up to the date of stay.

How could I miss Gillybob! I think I saw the G of Glassortwo and thought I had her down. Sorry, Gillybob!

This is why I get you lot to check.

We will need nametags again! Are we sticking with gransnet names? I'm happy with Bags; it's what Soop always calls me anyway.

Memories of you calling 'Elizabeth!' at Aberdeen station, bags, and wondering why she was ignoring you!

gaga1949 Cinders123 and rockchick You have all expressed an interest, and I have PMed you but so far have had no reply. If you are not receiving emails from GN (you get a message in your ordinary email to remind you to look ) could you look in your Gransnet inbox? (a click box near the top of the page, beside the "Log in" box)

Same to Largolass and RhonaB who I have exchanged messages with, and I think will be there, but we seem to have lost communication.

Hi, only just joined but would like to attend the meet up in Edinburgh. I live in Edinburgh anyway so no accommodation required. Can I put my name down for this please?

Yes, gherkin I'll add your name. It's nice to see another newbie joining us.

Largolass may be having WiFi problems where she is at the moment, Elegran.

Oh I would love to come! Please put me down as a tentative!

Gosh, that's quite a long list compared with the North-east and Scottish grannies first meet up in Glasgow. That was fun and so were subsequent meet-ups. I don't think there is anyone near enough (within less than 1,000 miles) for a meet-up for me. Of course, if things hadn't gone so sadly wrong, Greatnan and I would be having weekly lunches together.

Btw If anyone is ever planning a holiday in New Zealand, do get in touch if you have the time as it would be a real joy to get together

We're going to need a bigger room!

You are now down as a tentative, Schnackie I shall PM you the details.

Numbers now at 23 definite and 7 more possible/probable. There is still room, Pittcity - we are nowhere near the 40 limit.

Absent I wonder whether we could do a Skype from the venue, or the equivalent? Or would you be in bed asleep when it is between 10 and 5 here?

I'm new to the site [only joined today] but would love to meet up in April and make some new friends!

You will be very welcome, stu4847 I'll send you a PM with all the details. I assume you have ticked to receive emails via Gransnet? You will find them by clicking your inbox (up near the top of the page, beside "sign in")

Oh my and I'm not going to be there at this fabulous event with all these fabulous gransnetters.
elegran is it still on for Monday 21st March for a cheeky wee lunch in Edinburgh only because I'm feeling sorry for missing out.

Yes, E1 It is still on with me. anyone else? Probaly best to start a new thread now that most of the April thing is ortgabised - don't want to confuzz anyone. I'll launch it elsewhere. Where do you wanna go, E1?

I'll have a look on the discount websites to see if there's anything going. They're usually not bad at all.

The Rosehip has 2 mains for £11 why don't you Google trip advisor and see. I've been there several times and it's really good.

Elizabeth1, Elegran started another thread yesterday for the other, smaller meet up on March 21 (has it fallen off the end of the list - may need to 'bump' it)?
At the big meet up a couple of years ago quite a few of the 'over the border' Gn'ers went to the Rosehip for their evening meal, and really enjoyed it, remember?
Also, of course.....that's where you and I had that big fat burger before going to meet up that other time with Elegran et al at the Scottish Café in the Gallery....and we weren't able to eat our lovely afternoon tea!
