dramatictessa Tue 06-Sept-16 09:01:26

I can do 13th or 20th.

rosesarered Tue 06-Sept-16 09:10:50

I can do 3rd 10th 13 Oct ( possibly 27th.)

Greenfinch Tue 06-Sept-16 09:15:09

Is there any Monday you could do dramatictessa ?

DaphneBroon Tue 06-Sept-16 09:29:34

I could do the Monday or Tuesday of half term but not Thursdays sad

Greenfinch Tue 06-Sept-16 09:34:24

Can anyone else do the Monday of half term ?

M0nica Tue 06-Sept-16 16:49:09

I can do 20th October and 14 November, but none of the others as I am away.

rosesarered Tue 06-Sept-16 16:51:46

When is the Monday of half term?

Greenfinch Tue 06-Sept-16 18:24:03

24th October which wasn't on our original list.

Will you be on holiday then Monica ?

dramatictessa Tue 06-Sept-16 22:18:32

Can't do Mondays or Wednesdays as those are nana duty days.

Greenfinch Wed 07-Sept-16 06:51:31

We seem to have come to a dead end.Any suggestions ? I am trying to be fair to everyone.

Anya Wed 07-Sept-16 07:29:57

No one has mentioned a Friday? That worked last time....

Greenfinch Wed 07-Sept-16 09:09:48

I think Roses finds Fridays difficult.

rosesarered Wed 07-Sept-16 09:13:08

Yes, Fridays and Wed are days I want to avoid, but can do most Mon Tue and Thu, however Greenfinch arrange what is best for the most number of people.smile

Greenfinch Sun 18-Sept-16 19:31:00

No one date suits more than 3 people and so I am going to have to settle on Thursday 13th October and hope at least some of us can make it.Shall we say the Ashmolean about 10.30 ~11am ?

rosesarered Sun 18-Sept-16 21:57:05

Yes, fine for me, so will be there ( barring accidents/illness/being abducted by aliens.smile

Greenfinch Sun 18-Sept-16 22:03:08

Or a better offer !!

dramatictessa Sun 18-Sept-16 22:43:00

I'll be there too. Do we all wear a rose so we know who we are (that sounds wrong, but you know what I mean! )

Greenfinch Mon 19-Sept-16 00:02:48

A rose would be lovely but a bright scarf attached to a handbag is often the sign.It will be lovely to meet you dramatictessa.

dramatictessa Thu 22-Sept-16 10:20:38

Are we meeting in the rooftop restaurant or the basement cafe?!

rosesarered Thu 22-Sept-16 10:27:10

The basement....last time I put some pink roses on the table, so I could do that again,as well as a bright scarf.I will be the one eating a large slice of cake.smile

dramatictessa Thu 29-Sept-16 22:31:14

So sorry about this, but I'm not able to come on 13th now, been asked to do some work that I can't afford to turn down.

Greenfinch Mon 03-Oct-16 20:13:08

We have decided to abandon the meet up on 13th October as so few people were able to attend.We are working on finding another date to suit at least a few of us.

Greenfinch Tue 04-Oct-16 18:25:37

The new date for the meet up is 20th October at 11ish in the basement cafe of the Ashmolean.

Can you still make that date MOnica and dramatictessa?

We hope that others will be able to make that date too?
