Would anyone consider a meet up in the Swindon area in the near future?

Cornishgirl777 Thu 12-Jan-17 12:07:20

Yes please! I'd like that.

rosesarered Thu 12-Jan-17 12:09:47

Possibly....I could get to the Dunelm Mill on the outskirts, they have a cafe there.If that is any good for others?

Greenfinch Thu 12-Jan-17 13:26:14

I would love to meet up in this area.I grew up in Swindon so it would be rather nostalgic for me.

Peep Thu 12-Jan-17 13:37:27

Possibly. Dunelm Mill would be good for me too.

rosesarered Thu 12-Jan-17 14:30:02

Then we can see if they have anything good in the Sales.grin

rosesarered Thu 12-Jan-17 14:31:44

Does somebody want to throw a few dates around, I don't have the car all the time at the moment so would be nice if there were a few days to choose from?
Sometime in the next couple of weeks, yes?

How easy is it to get from Swindon station to Dunelm Mill ?I cant commit myself to any specific day as we are on standby to look afterDGD2 during a house move and settling in period. I will certainly join you if I am able to.

The 66 bus (to Oxford) goes that way, not sure how often though.

rosesarered Fri 13-Jan-17 22:41:57

The 66 bus around every half hour from Swindon to Oxford.

I can do any day except Tuesday, is anyone restricted, if so maybe we could work around your availability.

rosesarered Sun 15-Jan-17 13:55:57

I will put some dates on here tonight.

Peep Sun 15-Jan-17 14:02:21

Well done Rosesarered, I'm always useless coming up with dates!

rosesarered Sun 15-Jan-17 18:04:40

How about any time of day either this coming Friday 20th Jan or any time of day the following Monday 23 rd Jan ( best times for me)
But failing that,Thursday 26th Jan
Monday 30thJan, or Wed 1st Feb.
Have avoided Tuesdays as Brileo can't do them.
Do we want coffee/cake mid morning, or lunch ( or both!) or are afternoons better?

brileo Sun 15-Jan-17 19:34:37

Afternoons better for me, but could do mornings

rosesarered Mon 16-Jan-17 10:31:11

What about this coming Friday at 2pm or following Monday at same time Brileo and peeps and cornishgirl? smile

Cornishgirl777 Mon 16-Jan-17 10:33:54

I can do next Monday at 2....

rosesarered Mon 16-Jan-17 10:41:29

That's good........anyone else?
I know there are only a few of us near this area, but it's still difficult to accomodate everybody.I will keep bumping this thread all this week.

Peep Mon 16-Jan-17 11:06:54

I can do next Monday at 2 as well.

brileo Mon 16-Jan-17 11:33:03

I can do next Monday at 2pm - seems like we might have a date, next problem will be how to recognise one another.
I could try to get there early and grab the sofa area at the back of the cafe.

Cornishgirl777 Mon 16-Jan-17 11:56:39

Great!

rosesarered Mon 16-Jan-17 16:48:10

That's good....so, 2 pm at Dunelm cafe Monday next.
What about wearing a certain colour scarf ( I have scarves of every colour so somebody else can choose?)

brileo Mon 16-Jan-17 19:41:14

Would blue work for everyone, how about pm'ing each other with our first names, I'll try just now to rosesarered

brileo Mon 16-Jan-17 19:43:49

I have pm'd my first name to each of you

rosesarered Mon 16-Jan-17 22:35:15

The blue scarf club!
