dustyangel will be in UK in October and we thought about having a meetup in John Lewis in Reading on Wednesday 19th October. We hope as many Berkshire/Surrey Gransnetters as possible will be able to come. We are of course open to any other ideas for venue if anyone has any.

Hi I've just joined and have clearly just missed the August meet up in Reading. Would love to join you all for the next one. Feel very comforted that other grans share same worries as me.

Hopefully at the moment. My busy social schedule ( grin ) seems empty at the moment.

Greenfinch Thu 08-Sept-16 21:45:38

Wonderful ! Does the little one go to school/ nursery now ?

Deedaa Fri 09-Sept-16 22:11:44

He's still at preschool but SIL thinks he is going to be getting home early enough on Wednesdays to pick him and his brother up.

Greenfinch Fri 09-Sept-16 22:44:05

Excellent !

I hope everyone is still OK for the meet up in Reading on 19th October.Because of a poor experience at John Lewis we have decided to try Patisserie Valerie instead.It is in Broad Street very near JL and right by the entrance to The Oracle.So perfect for those walking up from the station or the bus.See you all there.

Auntieflo Tue 04-Oct-16 09:12:19

Wonderful, see you there on the 19th. Thanks Greenfinch.

Greenfinch Mon 10-Oct-16 15:54:09

Just to remind everyone about Wednesday 19th at Patisserie Valerie. There should be 6 of us which will be lovely but we still have room for more if anybody is lurking .

Greenfinch Tue 11-Oct-16 18:12:00

If you area skinflint like me you could think about joining the Patisserie Valerie cake club. Take a look a their website.You get10% off your first order and a cupcake on your birthday. Not much but every little helps as they say.

Hello - just resurfacing after heaps of weeks helping my husband through his cancer treatment and would love to join in a Reading group meet-up if it's not too late....

Thanks for the suggestion Greenfinch.

Please do join us.It will be lovely to meet you.I hope your husband is responding well to his treatment . Take care of yourself as well.

Greenfinch Wed 12-Oct-16 06:54:58

Now there are seven. Lovely!???

Cass1950 Wed 12-Oct-16 13:11:30

Was really looking forward to meeting up next week, (my first time) but sadly have a funeral to attend. Will there be another one before Christmas?

Greenfinch Wed 12-Oct-16 21:43:38

Sorry you won't be able to make it Cass.We can't predict funerals and they have to take priority. There is no reason why we can't have another meet up before Christmas. Watch this space.

GdnGuru246 Thu 13-Oct-16 19:11:27

Forgot to ask - what time at Pat Vals?
