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

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.

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

Greenfinch Sat 13-Aug-16 12:22:54

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

alchemillamollis Sat 13-Aug-16 10:38:58

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!

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

What about you NannaJay ?

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.

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

Yes someone has to book...

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

Is it necessary to book at Gertie's ?

MiniMouse Mon 08-Aug-16 11:01:10

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

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

Goldenspring Mon 08-Aug-16 10:44:05

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?

Grannyknot Mon 08-Aug-16 09:03:57

I can do Friday 2nd September. smile

alchemillamollis Sun 07-Aug-16 23:34:12

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

Grannyknot Sun 07-Aug-16 21:39:39

We had lunch smile

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

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

Greenfinch Sun 07-Aug-16 11:33:43

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.

Grannyknot Sat 06-Aug-16 06:35:03

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

September would suit me too, any day excepting Mondays.

Greenfinch Sat 06-Aug-16 00:00:09

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

MiniMouse Fri 05-Aug-16 23:19:04

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

Greenfinch Fri 05-Aug-16 21:18:42

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