East Midlands meet up?

Unfortunately the Leicestershire meet up planned for early Spring did not go ahead for a number of reasons. I thought perhaps widening our area and meeting up say in Nottingham or Derby may be more appealing then Leicester as we don't appear to have many members. Anyone interested for some time in the early Summer?

OK so far we have a Tuesday in Nottingham in September - any choice of restaurant and date?

I`ll go with other peoples recommendations as I don`t really know Nottingham apart from shopping there. Any day will be OK for me.

I'll go with whatever suits others, but would prefer it not to be a Wednesday. I don't know Nottingham either.

If you are going for September, I can't do 14th - just remembered it's DH's birthday. Hope it doesn't throw a spanner in the works.

Not a problem I m on holiday that week in Wales- how about 20th September?

Greyduster Wed 22-Jun-16 19:42:39

Should be okay for me.

OK by me

kittylester Wed 22-Jun-16 21:51:46

And me!

Teetime Thu 23-Jun-16 08:34:46

OK lets firm it up now - where shall we go? A meal so we can chat- what kind of food do you like?

Greyduster Thu 23-Jun-16 08:49:57

I will eat anything. I don't know Nottingham, only been there once, so I am unable to recommend anywhere I'm afraid.

kittylester Thu 23-Jun-16 08:51:59

In my diary and I'm not concerned about type of food but would like gf. Is there a Jamie's in Nottingham? If so where? Does anyone think that's good idea?

annsixty Thu 23-Jun-16 08:55:55

Jamie's in Nottingham is on low pavement.

Teetime Thu 23-Jun-16 12:06:43

Yes love Jamie's and they cater for special diets - you can see their menu on line before you go and check it out.

Greyduster Thu 23-Jun-16 12:46:18

That would be good for me as it's reasonably near to the coach station smile.

kittylester Thu 23-Jun-16 13:16:30

I love Jamie's - we go to the one in Birmingham given half a chance. Are they ok for lingering? I'm no good at Street names in Nottingham - give me some clues! I know, I'll Google it. grin

Teetime Thu 23-Jun-16 13:54:45

Its in Low Pavement Kitty its a really nice one and they don't mind you lingering at lunchtime on a weekday. You come out of Broadmarsh at the rear or looking the other way its up the side of M & S.

kittylester Thu 23-Jun-16 15:37:24

OK, thanks, I know where M&S is!

starbird Thu 23-Jun-16 23:33:10

Sounds good

numberplease Fri 24-Jun-16 22:11:15

I`ll just pour myself into a taxi and let the driver find it!

dragonfly46 Wed 26-Oct-16 12:43:42

Did this happen as I live in Leicester

Luckylegs9 Wed 14-Dec-16 06:54:48

I think if a Meet up us to be arranged, the one arranging it should just choose a modest venue and a date and time and see how many want to come, you cannot cater for everyone's different commitments or nothing gets done. I tried to arrange one once but it just got impossible trying to cater for everyone and I gave up.

"A tuesday in Nottingham in September"
is this still happening? Last post was December '16
I would love to meet up with all you lovely GN ladies.

Greyduster Mon 12-Jun-17 15:23:37

It did happen and a jolly nice afternoon it was too! I think there was some talk about organising another somewhere, but not sure it got any further.

Teetime Mon 12-Jun-17 15:54:33

Ok so are we on for this? How about September 26th (after most holidays)- Leicester or Nottingham?? What kind of venue/food/activity?

Nandalot Mon 12-Jun-17 16:31:07

Can I still be included in East Midlands? I really enjoyed the meet up last year in Jamie's . Lincs Gransnet is trying to arrange a meeting in July but I am not sure I shall be able to make that one.
