Planning ahead - C*******s lunch in Edinburgh

It has been brought to my attention (Katek nudged me) that if we want to meet up for a Christmas December lunch, we need to start booking somewhere soon - before all the works outings fill up the restaurants.

If anyone is interested, could you do as we have done before - let me know the days when you CAN'T come, and I will juggle dates around to try to find one that suits everyone - or suits as many as possible - and get an estimate of numbers. The numbers will fluctuate wildly between now and then, of course.

I think the ROSL would be a good venue - do you agree? Central, easy to get to, and they usually do us well.

Thank you Marelli, nice to put a face to Ina at last! And to the others that I didn`t know of course.

EllenT Wed 07-Dec-16 23:29:04

Splendid lunch, even better company and looking forward to next time. Thanks so much, Elegran.

Wish I could have been there sad however glad to see you all had a smashing time. A happy Christmas to you all.

I took up two seats on the bus, marelli but I got home OK!

Marmight Mon 05-Dec-16 18:03:16

Yes, another lovely lunch. Thanks Elegran. Hope you managed to get home with all the charity parcels in one piece!

baubles Mon 05-Dec-16 17:59:39

Elegran thank you, another smashing lunch. Nice to meet you Oldgoat and as usual, lovely to see everyone else again. Just a pity there were a few weel kent faces missing.

janeainsworth Mon 05-Dec-16 17:24:31

Thank you again Elegran for a lovely day. Great to see everyone and to meet you oldgoat smile

Elegran Mon 05-Dec-16 17:18:19

Lovely to meet up again! At the last minute Katek couldn't come, she has laryngitis (too much shouting "It's behind you!?) which we hope gets better after some hot drinks and resting her throat.

oldgoat Mon 05-Dec-16 17:10:21

Thanks for organising the meal and meetup at the ROSL, Elegran. Lovely to meet the Edinburgh Grans again and enjoy a very tasty meal.
See you in January, perhaps?

ffinnochio Mon 05-Dec-16 06:40:08

Have a good time everyone. Maybe I'll make it again one of these days. ?

callgirl1 Sun 04-Dec-16 23:31:40

Have fun ladies!

Marelli Sun 04-Dec-16 19:02:15

Really looking forward to seeing everyone again, but sorry that there are those who can't manage to get there this time. Maybe in the Spring? It's nice to have something like an Edinburgh meet up to look forward to. smile
