north west meet up

Met up with some lovely ladies yesterday Thursday 4th at the Villa. Sorry I missed seasider. Please keep in touch re any further meetings. Not sure if I am using the site correctly and have posted a similar message yesterday.

I really enjoyed our meet up yesterday. Thanks, Nana3 for organising it. It was lovely to meet thatbags on your brief sojourn to God's own country! Look forward to meeting you all again soon, good luck with the house Fran63!

Having a busy evening as two GC are staying over but feeling very able to cope with the fun and games after a lovely, relaxing meet up with GN friends. Hope we can do it again soon.

On my way back to my mum's (via the local library to get online for a wee while) from the meetup at Villa Express just off M55. Lovely to meet seasider, nana3, mazza + her friend (do join as "noodles" ) and, towards the end, fran63, who dropped in for coffee.

Great chatting, great food. I'd better get back to my mum pronto before she gets in a tizwaz.

Thanks all!

Hi ladies, I am sorry but I can't make it after all. I've been in a lot of pain today due to period pain but not much period! Been sat with warm wheat bag on my stomach most of the day (in the shape of a fluffy pink owl), rest sleeping. Even with painkillers it still hurts. Still sore now. I hope you all have a great time and will catch up with you next time. to you all. Xxx

Looking forward to meeting some NW gransnetters. My mum is quite hard work at the mo (not her fault) so it will be a nice break. See you Thursday.

The address of The Villa Express is;
Fleetwood Rd
Kirkham,
PR4 3HE

Junction 3 of M55, go towards Kirkham not Fleetwood.
It's very close to the junction.

Please come ruby if you can, your doggie will be very welcome.

Does anyone object if I can make it to me bringing my doggie with me? Photo on my profile page.

Been to look at the Villa Express, Kirkham roundabout of M55 today and it's lovely. Will look up full address and post it later. They are okay with us going. Is 11am good for everyone? They start serving food from 10am. There's plenty of room for us in the bar area.
Looking forward to it.
Hope to see ruby, gransue and carol another time, hope you keep posting.

See everyone on Thursday Aug 4th, 11am if that's okay.

Edgworth. Yes it would be nice to meet you . Look forward to it in the future! X

gransue Of course you will be able to meet up with us, I am sure there will be lots more happy events to join in on in the next few months. Which part of Bolton are you in? I'm in Farnworth. X

Hi . I've just been reading your northwest forum which caught my eye as I too live in Bolton. I would love to meet up with some of you who live nearby. However I am away a lot in our static caravan and visiting family who live in Ireland so am always coming and going ! After the middle of September the calendar is less full so I hope you can include me at one of your meetings. It's good to know you are all out there giving each other support! I have just had my birthday too (64)!
Hopefully I can get to meet some of you sometime. ?

Nana3 do you live in Preston, that's where I am from ?

I am away on 4th August, but would really love to join on another one. Seems like it went really well and you all enjoyed it.?

I'm sorry ladies, I won't be able to manage this one. I've a doctor's appointment at 10.30 am and they are like gold dust at the moment. I do hope you all have a great time.

Hi Nana what time are we meeting?. We have a new lady who would like to join us

It's the Villa Express, when you google it there's a good map. I'll pm my phone number to you in case you need it mazza

mazza . No not Wrea Green, it's what used to be a big pub close to the exit of the Kirkham roundabout. Go in the Kirkam direction not Fleetwood when you come off the M55. You can't miss it on your right.

Sorry, just seen your post now. Is that in the Villa at Wrea Green? I'll be able to find that, I'm sure. What time, do you know?

mazza we have a possible venue The Villa Express coffee bar, very close to the M55 Kirkham junction. Easy to find. Hope you can make it.

I enjoyed meeting up yesterday, it's good to get out of your comfort zone - I didn't like being the oldest however! Never mind. I hope to get to the meet on 4 August if we can think of a good location. Is it going to be Fylde based, do you think?

It was lovely to meet everyone, hope we can do it again soon. Most were interested in our meet up thatbags hope we are still on for Thursday 4th August, we have to find a venue.

Glad you all had a good time (and belated happy birthday greetings, rubylady!). I'm looking forward to meeting some of you in a couple of weeks

It was lovely to meet you all, thank you all for travelling over and I hope you all enjoyed looking round the garden centre.

Thank you very much for my beautiful card and pressies. I will water from the bottom! And I will enjoy the chocs putting my feet up, thank you.

We'll get a photo next time, already looking forward to it.
