Hi I'm the new editor for Liverpool and Wirral and I'm just starting filling in the site with listings. There's no activity of the forums yet either. Anyone from round here who'd like to get to know some local people please do join the local forums and maybe we could arrange a coffee and cake get together for any interested people?

Hi GrannyA I am definitely interested. Live in Wirral and would love to hear from any other Gransnetters in the area. It would be great to have a group similar to the one in Chester, meeting up for cake, chat etc. Hope others will join with that in mind.

GrannyA11i Fri 24-Mar-17 14:32:46

smile great! Hope we get some more interested gransnetters and we'll be away! Have you reallly got 11 grandchildren? !!

NannyC1 Sun 02-Apr-17 11:06:24

I'd really like to do this. I'm a Nanna in waiting(3 weeks). If meet ups are arranged can we bring a grandchild or will it be adults only.

GrannyA11i Wed 05-Apr-17 15:14:26

I was initially thinking a meet up without grandchildren as I know I'd find it hard to chat if I was minding my Dgd who is nearly 2! We could always arrange another meet up with the go in a park in the warmer weather perhaps ?

GrannyA11i Fri 07-Apr-17 22:50:24

Thought I'd suggest a couple of dates and see if people are free and interested in the meet up. The names below are people I know live locally although not sure who is free in the day time. Apologies if I've missed anyone - I'm on my iPad and flicking back and forth between threads to copy names it's easy to miss someone.

There is a garden centre in Port Sunlight which is 5 minutes walk from the train station and for drivers the garden centre has a big car park. The cafe area is fairly big.

So anyone up for a Wednesday or Thursday meet 19 or 20 April or 3rd or 4th May? Around 10.30 before it get full up for lunch might be good.

If anyone has grandchildren that day do bring them with you rather than miss out. I won't have mine with me as at nearly 2 I'd never get the chance to chat if she was with me!!!

I'd be interested as it's fairly local to me. I could fit in with most dates.

Ceesnan Sat 08-Apr-17 07:15:51

But not 3rd May!

Liz46 Sat 08-Apr-17 07:18:32

Yes, I can easily get there by train and am ok for all dates except May 3rd. Thanks GrannyAlli.

Mindy1 Sun 09-Apr-17 07:46:50

Hi eve. I would love to join you for coffee. I can do 20th April or preferably 4 th May. Thanks Mindy.

Mindy1 Sun 09-Apr-17 07:47:50

Meant to say 'hi everyone' doh !

GrannyA11i Mon 10-Apr-17 22:18:49

Let's go for 10.30am Thursday 4th May then as that looks like it's ok for Mindy, Liz and Ceesnan and gives time for others to see this.

Anyone else is most welcome to join us - I'll message the others who were interested before too..

Port Sunlight Garden Centre is on Facebook if you want to look it up.

I'll be there early to get a table and look out for people. I'll have to think of some way we'll recognise each other !! Gransnet should have badges!

Ceesnan Tue 11-Apr-17 13:42:00

That's great GrannyA11i will put that in my diary.

Liz46 Tue 11-Apr-17 14:46:15

It's in my diary too. I may send a message nearer the time of what I will be wearing! It could look a bit strange if I go round accosting strange ladies - not that any of you are strange of course!

GrannyA11i Wed 12-Apr-17 19:47:54

Great can't wait to meet you!

I'll bring a flowery handbag and stick it on the table as a beacon!!

Hi GrannyA11i just made a really huge decision that I must get on with my life and not put up with the abuse from my daughter. I live in Haydock but would be glad to meet up with lots of others and perhaps have a coffee and cake morning, look at cinema or art exhibition outings. Just really want to make new friends as I keep in touch with those i worked with to a degree but sadly 5 of my friends have passed away and it is so hard to start again but it must be done

Ceesnan Sun 16-Apr-17 20:59:37

I'm really sorry but I will have to cancel. I look after my DGD and on 4th May her school is being used as a Polling Station which means she will be with me all day. Please let me know when you have the next one.

GrannyA11i Thu 20-Apr-17 14:41:32

Hi Marylane - can you get over to the Wirral for our meet up? It's very near the train station. It's more difficult for me to arrange a Liverpool venue as I live on wirral. Ideally I think there should be separate sites for Liverpool and Wirral as although attractions are useful to both, all the little local events probably won't appeal to people on the opposite side of the Mersey.

But having said that anyone from liverpoool is very welcome at our meet up!

CEESNAN - so sorry you can't make it - I completely forgot about polling day! Hope you can make the next one.

Ceesnan Fri 28-Apr-17 15:35:45

I have just heard that I won't be needed for child minding on Thursday after all, so if the meet up is still planned then may I join you?

GrannyA11i Mon 01-May-17 16:45:20

Brilliant CEESNAN! Look forward to meeting you!

Hope others are still ok for the meet?

GrannyA11i Wed 03-May-17 22:29:44

Hope to see people tomorrow!

GrannyA11i Thu 04-May-17 09:10:21

Meet up this morning - lovely day for it!

glammanana Thu 04-May-17 09:29:21

Hi ladies can I pass on my best wishes for a fab meet up to-day,I am here in New Brighton over looking the River on this lovely day but cannot get to your meetup due to the fact I have only last week moved into a new bungalow and am still getting myself straight (where does all the stuff come from)?
I will be able to get to the next one hopefully and look forward to it,even though I have been a GNer since day one I have never been able to get away for a meetup mainly due to work and family commitments but will have much more free time once this move is sorted enjoy yourselves and have loads of cake and coffee xxx

Liz46 Thu 04-May-17 09:59:45

Will be setting off soon.

GrannyA11i Thu 04-May-17 14:12:34

Lovely coffee and chat this morning - so nice to meet people. Thank you for coming and hope to see you at the next one! Glammanana hope you can make the next one when you have got straight in your new home!
