Hi,
I'm pretty new and would love to meet up with you ladies if it's OK. I live in Bagshot, Surrey, and should be able to find Dorking Ok. I can manage 2nd Sept too. What time are we meeting?

Grannyknot Sun 21-Aug-16 16:10:23

Hi cazza that's great! The meetups are fun.

We're meeting at 1 p.m. at a cafe called Gorgeous Gerties which is very central ... see you there!

I'll drop Alchemillamollis a PM to let her know there's an extra person.

You have to guess who we are! wink smile

(Only joking!)

Penstemmon Sun 21-Aug-16 22:26:05

I am hoping to be there. I forgot to check with DD re her childcare needs. She is a teacher so may need to be in school even though her girls won't be! Also DGD1 birthday that day so they may be going for a day out! Promise to let you no one way or other asap!

Grannyknot Mon 22-Aug-16 06:59:15

Hope it works out and you can make it smile

alchemillamollis Mon 22-Aug-16 10:43:34

Looks like a very good turnout - hope you can make it, Penstemmon. We should all bring our diaries so we can plan the next one as well, since there are a few people who can't make 2 September.

cazzajen Mon 22-Aug-16 16:21:17

My memory is awful so I will forget all your names the minute you tell me anyway! LOL

Penstemmon Wed 31-Aug-16 16:14:45

Hi.. hope it is not too late to join you on Friday. Eventually sorted out DGD birthday arrangements

Grannyknot Wed 31-Aug-16 16:29:16

Wonderful penstemmon, I'll let alchemollis know smile so she can arrange for another seat at the table.

whitewave Wed 31-Aug-16 17:06:04

I would like to meet as well, but grandparenting duties sad

Hopefully next time?

alchemillamollis Wed 31-Aug-16 18:06:42

Thanks for letting me know, Grannyknot and Penstemmon. It would be great if we can all bring our diaries, then we can come back here and suggest some dates for the next one(s). Lots of people on this thread who'd like to come to one. (Lol, I see I said the same thing upthread...doh...) grin

alchemillamollis Wed 31-Aug-16 19:31:14

For those coming by train, the station is some distance from Gorgeous Gerties. They said it was a 15 minute walk, but it looks further on the map. I expect there will be buses that go to West Street.

MiniMouse Thu 01-Sept-16 11:21:06

Just checked and there are buses from Dorking Deepdene and Main railway stations to West Street. See you all tomorrow smile

Grannyknot Thu 01-Sept-16 11:27:16

Brilliant thanks mini. smile

Greenfinch Thu 01-Sept-16 14:08:53

Thanks Mini. I will come to Deepene and catch the bus.Looking forward to seeing everyone

MiniMouse Thu 01-Sept-16 14:24:38

Can't seem to sort out the bus numbers, but I think some also stop in South Street, which is (allegedly!) 3 mins walk away!

Penstemmon Thu 01-Sept-16 19:38:58

Great..looking forward to meeting you all! I will be driving..it says 30 minutes from home..ha ha! I will allow longer!

alchemillamollis Fri 02-Sept-16 02:04:06

I should think West St and South St are both in the centre of Dorking. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Greenfinch Fri 02-Sept-16 08:06:47

Granny not and I are going to try and meet up at Dorking main about 12.45 to try and catch a bus.If anyone else is around at that time you are welcome to join us.See you all later.

alchemillamollis Fri 02-Sept-16 10:23:12

I'm aiming to be early so I can explore Dorking a bit. Seeyou at the café.
