Hi everyone, I am a new member and I couldn't find any active groups for this area.

Greenfinch Mon 08-Aug-16 18:17:44

Is it necessary to book at Gertie's ?

Grannyknot Mon 08-Aug-16 18:34:13

Yes someone has to book...

Greenfinch Mon 08-Aug-16 18:45:33

Shall we leave it for a while to see if there are any more takers. We have 4 pretty definite ones so far I think.

Greenfinch Mon 08-Aug-16 18:48:53

What about you NannaJay ?

Grannyknot Mon 08-Aug-16 19:38:14

Hi again yes good idea, we still have time. I have sent purpledaffodil a PM to alert her in case she can make it.

NannaJay Mon 08-Aug-16 19:53:41

I will be up at St Thomas hospital during September so I won't be able to make it. Dorking Isn't far though if a followup gets arranged x

alchemillamollis Mon 08-Aug-16 22:46:09

I don't mind booking it. As Greenfinch says, I'll wait a bit for more takers. Should we say 1.00pm?

Friday 2nd Sept at Gorgeous Gertie's in Dorking

So far:

alchemillamollis

Greenfinch
Minimouse

Who else? All welcome!

Greenfinch Tue 09-Aug-16 08:26:10

That would be great alchemilliamollis.I will be away from 18th August which is about the time it should be done I suppose.Happy to leave it to you

Greenfinch Tue 09-Aug-16 08:27:46

Any time after 12 suits me so 1pm would be fine.

alchemillamollis Tue 09-Aug-16 21:49:42

I'll book the table on Tuesday 16 August, because the latter half of that week is extremely busy for me. So please could any others register their interest by then - a week today? Obviously we can always squeeze extra people in at a later stage, if necessary! I'd be happy to ring up again nearer the time and adjust the numbers.

I'm so pleased we have enough of us to go ahead!

Thanks alchemilliamollis.
Does anyone know whether it is nearer Dorking West or Dorking Deepened ?

alchemillamollis Sat 13-Aug-16 14:31:57

No idea, Greenfinch. confused But I'm sure someone else will know.

Grannyknot Sat 13-Aug-16 14:42:56

Hi *greenfinch" your best bet is the Dorking main station, I think it is just called "Dorking". Then it is a fairly easy walk to town (just one busy road to cross via a traffic light), especially if you cut through the Council gardens. Otherwise, there are loads of cabs always at the station and it would be a 5 minute cab ride...

Perhaps we could coincide arrival time, if you let me know via PM when you are likely to get there, I'll see whether I can arrive more or less the same time.

Greenfinch Sat 13-Aug-16 17:36:01

Thanks Grannyknot. My train doesn't actually go to Dorking Main but I think Deepened is slightly nearer the town. I will pm you nearer the time.
Don't know why tablet keeps putting a d on the end of Deepdene

Grannyknot Sat 13-Aug-16 18:40:08

Okay. I realise I shouldn't say "best bet" when I don't really know Deepdene!smile

The last time I went to GG I had the most divine Courgette and Lime cake. cupcake

Greenfinch Sat 13-Aug-16 20:20:48

Sounds interesting.?

Penstemmon Sat 13-Aug-16 20:41:44

Hi..I might be able to make it on 2 September but that is DGD1 11th birthday and not sure what celebrations are being planned, Dorking is easy for me to get to though. Will ask DD if I am required and what time that day and get back to you!!

Greenfinch Sat 13-Aug-16 20:56:48

It would be lovely to see you if you can make it Penstemon.

alchemillamollis Sun 14-Aug-16 00:01:31

Yes, hope to see you, Penstemmon. The more, the merrier! Courgette and Lime cake sounds amazing.

Purpledaffodil Sun 14-Aug-16 19:17:12

Really want to come but may have to look after GS having INSET day. Please don't book for me but will phone GG and add myself if I can make it. If not have a lovely time ladies. Xx

alchemillamollis Sun 14-Aug-16 22:09:47

Great, there's no problem with last minute decisions, I'm sure you can be squeezed in!

Purpledaffodil Mon 15-Aug-16 20:19:30

Thanks alchemillamollis. I do hope I can arrange it. We had a great time last time. smile

alchemillamollis Mon 15-Aug-16 23:38:35

Last call before I make the booking! I've answered your PM, Purple. smile

alchemillamollis Tue 16-Aug-16 11:49:40

I've booked the table for five people, but if anyone else wants to join us, please do. It'll be lovely to see the people I've met already, and to meet others I haven't. smile
