Surrey/West Sussex meet ups

Hi NannaJay I'm in Bracknell on the edge of Berks and Surrey.

And I'm a few miles away from Deedaa

Hi Greenfinch

Welcome nannajay. I'm on the SW London/Surrey border and we've had meet-ups in Dorking in the past and also Cobham. Hopefully another one can be arranged once the holiday season is over. I'd offer to organise one, but "headless chicken" is how I'll be for the next four weeks (with visitors and family commitments).

Yes, the Cobham meet up was good Granny knot. We just need to think of a place that is central to us all.

I forgot to say welcome nannajay

Hi NannaJay and welcome! I'm always up for a Surrey meet-up. Waving to Greenfinch and Grannyknot!

Hello alchemilliamollis. We must try to arrange a Surrey meet up soon. Is Camberley too far for most people ? We have had one or two small gatherings in Marks and Sparks coffee shop there but it is rather on the borders of the county but does include Berks and Hants grans.

Hi everyone! Camberley is probably a bit far for me ...

Where would be good for you Grannyknot

Hi greenfinch thats kind of you to ask: Dorking or Cobham again. But I will bow to the majority vote - if it's deeper into Surrey I will regrettably pass

I could manage Dorking by train but Cobham by bus I found too difficult especially as I got on the wrong bus and ended up with a long long walk !

I remember that. I think Dorking is very central.

Let's go for Dorking then.Any thoughts about venue and dates? This is addressed to all Surrey and West Sussex grans and any others that can get to Dorking.

I would love Dorking. A friend was eulogising it to me the other day and I have never been!

So yes, please, to Dorking. I'd prefer to avoid 18/19 August but otherwise can be extremely flexible.

I think I would rather leave it until September. Would anyone like to suggest a few dates we could play around with?

Dorking would be good for me as I can catch a bus. I can do Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Fridays.

I don't know Dorking so someone would need to suggest a venue.

I love Dorking. We met previously in a place called Gorgeous Gerties and I think the general consensus was that it was great

September would suit me too, any day excepting Mondays.

Gorgeous Gertie sounds good. Did you go for coffee,lunch or afternoon tea ?
Would Friday 2nd September suit anybody/everybody ?
I can't manage Tuesdays.

I can do Friday 2 Sept and Gorgeous Gerties sounds lovely.

Fridays and Wednesdays are best for me, though not Wednesday 7 Sept.

We had lunch

Here's the link:

That looks perfect, Grannyknot. Lunch would suit me best, if it suits others.

I can do Friday 2nd September.

Hi everyone, Grannyknot has kindly told me about this thread. I am in Redhill and would love to come to your meetup in Dorking. Unfortunately I am on holiday 2 Sept, but hopefully there will be another opportunity for me to come along and meet you all. Hope you have a great time. I've never heard of gorgeous Gerties, so I'm off to have a look at that?

GK 2nd September would be fine for me, too Any more takers?!

Goldenspring Gertie's is lovely with a lovely shop full of temptation if you enjoy craftwork etc!
