Oxfordshire Gransneters

Not at all dramatictessa, you are very welcome.

Have we got any nearer arranging a date?

Hello again. Sorry for long silence, but dodgy back playing up, and confined to bed.
much better now, and suggest morning coffee, [ brew] (instant I'm afraid) chez moi.
I'll throw Wednesday May 25th @ 11.00 into the ring. and see who catches it.
If you could send me a personal message, I will send you my
address and post code.
From previous experience of arranging get-togethers for a group, some will not be able to make it - but I'll be here, and I hope at least a few local Gransnetters will be able to join me.
Leonora.

Can do that day but not 'til 12.00

Just as I feared , fixing up a meeting for half a dozen busy Grans is exactly like juggling jelly.
Stand by for another date .... Tuesday June 7th for coffee @ 11o'clock . I have made a provisional booking for us to have use of the lounge, and hope that those who were unable to make, Monday May 25th will find that more convenient.
Regards to you all,
Leo.

Hi Leonora, very kind of you to arrange things.I am sure I can make 7th June, so I will pm you anyway.

Hope you all have a fun time. I can't join you this time, but keep me posted if you arrange another meet up.

Sorry l won't be able to make it this time as Abingdon is too far for me to come. Do have a lovely time and keep me posted if you arrange another one in Oxford.

Hope today was fun. When's the next one?

Today did not happen.Leonora is absent from the threads and has been for a couple of weeks.Perhaps she is ill, if so, get better soon and return to Gransnet.
maybe we can have a meet up in Oxford soon?

Actually it did happen! Three of us, Leonora, M0nica (who gave me a lift) and myself. We had a great chat.
Talked about next time in a cafe in Abingdon, but no dates.

if anyone is up for an Oxford meeting in the Ashmolean, either this month or July, put a few dates on here?
I think that more people would come to Oxford, as there is a lot to see after the meeting, and more buses go there.

I would love to meet up in Oxford at the Ashmolean. I will throw in a few dates to play around with e.g.Friday 1st July, Monday 4th July,Friday 8thJuly,Monday 11th or 18th July.Any thoughts ?

Yes, I can do the 1st July or the 11 th or the 18 th.

Sorry, not keen on the Ashmolean. I found the food expensive and nasty. On top of that parking is difficult and I have to go to Oxford too often for JR appointments and hate the traffic.

I can do a Friday probably. Love the Ashmolean but happy to meet up anywhere in central Oxford. I use the Park and Ride.

Alie you can get a bus from where you live all the way to Oxford.Don't we just need coffe and cake?

There are other venues but the Ashmolean has such a large cafe in the basement that it's not a prob getting seated ( near giftshop and loos as well.)

On balance I would prefer a Friday, but I can be so unreliable, don't consider my preferences above the majority!!

Roses buses don't work for me as I can't walk far enough either.

I see Alie so the Abingdon meets are best for you then.

If anyone can make Friday 1st July at the Ashmolean basement cafe, ( I can) will you comment on this thread?

Anya Greenfinch. Alea .....?

It's not out of the question - I'd very much like to, can I say a bit nearer the time perhaps?

It should be fine for me too.

Can't make 1st, I'm already going to a birthday lunch.
