Hello Folks - We have 4 possibles so far meeting up in Edinburgh on August 16th at 1pm. All interested parties most welcome. Munch much blether blether ???

Elegran Tue 16-Aug-16 09:03:37

See you soon, thatbags!

thatbags Tue 16-Aug-16 09:01:32

Leaving the house soon in order to catch the 10:10 train. See yous all soon! Just need to check on the map where the place is. It's just as well I remembered in time that it's not the ROSL!

Elegran Wed 10-Aug-16 07:58:36

I hope thatbags will have recovered enough from her stay with her mother to join us.

Elizabeth1 Tue 09-Aug-16 23:00:22

The 16th Marmight for 1pm. I'm looking forward to a catch up and a good meal. I'll see you on the train. smile

Marmight Tue 09-Aug-16 11:38:57

Looking forward to this. Good job I asked Marelli as I thought it was the 18th blush

Elizabeth1 Thu 14-Jul-16 18:35:01

There's room for more - anyone else interested? roastchicken wine brew

Elizabeth1 Tue 12-Jul-16 18:15:34

thatbags it'll be just smashing if you can drum up extra energy to come along. smile

thatbags Tue 12-Jul-16 17:12:45

On the off-chance that I have any energy, would it be allright for me to join you?

Elegran Tue 12-Jul-16 17:06:06

Looking forward to this.

Jane10 Tue 12-Jul-16 17:06:04

Phew! Sounds good. See you all there.

Elizabeth1 Tue 12-Jul-16 15:41:40

Got through to Papavero and they have my booking for the 2 vouchers for 4 people. I've also booked an additional 4 hip hip hooray. No need to buy any more Groupons she said she'll accept payment when arrived. Papaveros is closed on a Monday that's why I could contact them oops.

So it's finalised the booking is for 8 people on the 16th August at 1pm. We're going to have a smashing time. Marella this includes your pal too.

If any more GN wishes to come too please let me know. smile

Jane10 Tue 12-Jul-16 15:08:12

Sorry Elizabeth1 . I didn't mean to worry you. Its just that we're hearing up for the invasion of festival goers/tourists when the town seems jam packed. I hope you get through to Groupon or the restaurant to put your mind at rest. I'm quite happy to just pay without needing a voucher.

Elegran Tue 12-Jul-16 10:26:28

Perhaps we should have somewhere else in view as a backup in case they are going to be crowded out in August?

Elizabeth1 Tue 12-Jul-16 09:18:28

jane10 I've tried to contact Papavero by phone and by email I've even contacted Groupon to no avail as yet. What do I do ( buy another 2 vouchers in the hope another GN wants to come) taking our numbers up to 8. Wait a couple of days and try booking again. Help!

Jane10 Tue 12-Jul-16 07:04:50

The Edinburgh festival will be on. Town might be very busy. Will the vouchers be valid for that date? Just wondering...

thatbags Tue 12-Jul-16 05:43:10

I'd love to come but I'll not be long back from my Lancastrian, Norfolk and Derbyshire escapade, and it's the day before Minibags goes back to school, so I reckon I'll be zapped.

baubles Tue 12-Jul-16 00:15:09

oldgoat Mon 11-Jul-16 21:26:27

Please can I come too? I live in Yorkshire but DD lives in Fife so I can visit her at the same time.

Jane10 Mon 11-Jul-16 21:19:07

I think I can come. I've got something on in the morning but can most likely rush down to Stockbridge in time.

Elizabeth1 Mon 11-Jul-16 21:03:32

Another time Katek and hildajenniJ sorry to miss you.

hildajenniJ Mon 11-Jul-16 20:46:51

I'm on holiday too. Missed the last one too! sad

Katek Mon 11-Jul-16 20:44:22

Would love to come but on hols!! Maybe next one smile

Elizabeth1 Mon 11-Jul-16 19:57:50

Great grannylyn65 that's 5 going. I've bought 2 vouchers and will need another person in order to purchase another Groupon for 2 people. I'm certain there will be others venturing out into Edinburgh to meet up with us.
