East Midlands meet up?

I'm up for it. I started a thread before Teetime went on her holidays and was going to revive it after she got back. Sorry. I'm not sure this was it but I'm sure people will see this.

I'm happy with anything - I suppose it depends on travel arrangements for those coming from further afield. I could do lifts from a train or bus station.

Anywhere I can get to by train would suit me better than having to drive, but I'm not ruling that out. I'm easy as to food. The way this year is galloping by, September sounds good.

Once again I would like to think I would make it. I have just checked and I would find it easier to get to Nottingham as opposed to Derby as there are no changes and they mither me somewhat now.

Would it make sense to combine this with the Derbyshire meet up proposed on their local site? I can do lifts from Railway or Bus stations Ann.

I don't mind either Derby or Nottingham. Have the Derbyshire people suggested a venue?

I've posted a suggestion to join up on there too but I think I'm invisible!!!

I couldn't find anything on the site either.

Had a lovely catchup with Teetime today and we decided to reboot this thread to see what everyone thinks. It was suggested that we meet on September 26th - somewhere.

Any comments anyone.

I have nothing in my diary for that day.(joke)
but my only proviso is that
I must be able to reach the meeting place from the station, either Nottingham, Derby, possibly Leicester.

As usual, everyone decide on the place time and I'm easy!
In the meeting sense!

J52 [blushl It would be good to see both of you!

We will be back from holiday by then. Nottingham or Derby would be good for me.

Oh good lets have a meet up and put the rest of the world to rights. kittylester and I did the NHS and social services yesterday but they could proably do with more attention. Nottingham on 26th would be good for me. We went to Jamies Italian last time and I seem to remember Carluccios when we met in Leicester- I'm easy but I will need feeding!!!

Shall I pencil you in then?
Nottingham suits me better as I don't have to change trains, something of a trial with me now.
I can get a train arriving at 11.27 or 12.27, I can always get a taxi to wherever you are meeting.

Sept 26th in Nottingham? Suits me. I can collect from the station Ann.I too will need feeding and both Jamies and carluccios manage my gf-ness. Any one have any preference?

Shall I start this again with the date and town and see if anyone else is interested? Or someone else start it - I've got Bertie and Persie till this evening.

Pencilled in. Venue is fine; either restaurant is fine, in which case I can walk from the station. Looking forward to it ?.

It could be Greyduster we will be on the same train.
We are in the middle of a doozy of a thunderstorm and torrential rain.

Hooray the date is set - now for the restaurant I like both so someone else who has a preference can choose. I shall come in by bus so I'll find out the times as they have recently changed and the bus station is closed I think for a refurb.

Now we are sort of sorted, and the children have gone, shall I do a more specific thread to see if anyone else is interested?

Yes good idea

I've started a new 'definite' thread so please post on there if you would like to come and haven't already 'said'.

Hello, have just joined gransnet and been reading this thread. However, it seems to have stopped last August 17. Is it continuing under another name? I live near Grantham but my daughter and granddaughter live in Nottingham so would love to join in any meetings in Nottingham. Thanks.

Hello Tiggy, it`s a pity you weren`t here in October, there was a small (4 of us) meet up in Grantham then, at the Angel and Royal. Hopefully we`ll do it again sometime. I`m in Boston if you fancy meeting up.

Hi, CG and Tiggy. I'd certainly be up for another meet in Grantham, it's easy to get to from here. I'd prefer to leave it until sometime in March though so if anyone wants to suggest dates, venues ....

Hi Scribbles, more or less any date in March would do me, as for venues, I don`t know Grantham, apart from travelling through, maybe Tiggy can suggest somewhere?
