I had a great meet up today with three other gransnetters in Preston. We met in a cafe and spent a lovely couple of hours chatting. We talked on many different topics, found lots in common and got on really well. So much so that we're having another meet up Thursday May 18th, 12 o'clock at Barton Grange garden centre near Garstang for lunch this time! Other grans are welcome to join, just message on here.

So the second Wednesday or Thursday, whatever date that might be. I'm away at the moment from any calendar or more importantly, my calendar so I can't say definitely but it's a start? How is that for everyone else?

Hi Pocket. We hope to meet the second week in September probably Wednesday or Thursday. No venue decided yet but you will be very welcome to join us.

Hi

Would that be the 7th September, I will be away the following 2 weeks ?

I missed these meetings, but would love to join you if you meet in Barton Grange again. I live near Kirkby Lonsdale and lived in Goosnargh, many years ago.

Is that a decision, Barton Grange, Thursday 7th September?
What time? We enjoyed our lunch there so I would suggest the cafe again about 12 noon.
Everyone very welcome, the more the merrier.

Sounds good to me, Barton Grange on Thursday 7th September ?

carol257 Thu 24-Aug-17 19:23:17

Sorry, just realised I can't make the Thursday......if we can make it Wednesday that would be good.......if not hope you all have a good meet up and I will catch the next one ?

tubbygran Mon 28-Aug-17 21:12:30

Really looking forward to meeting everyone. I can make both the Wednesday and Thursday.

tubbygran Wed 30-Aug-17 16:39:27

Me again! Sorry, but now I am unable to meet on Wednesday.

seasider Sat 02-Sept-17 08:06:49

Sorry can't make either Wednesday or Thursday that week.

Nana3 Sun 03-Sept-17 09:23:22

I'm sorry we won't see you carol257 and seasider. Can we still say Thursday 7th Sept for everyone else who can make it. Would you post then we know who is coming. I'm looking forward to it and meeting pocket4321 and tubbygran.
My Mum is very poorly though, so it could change for me too, sorry, I'll post on here if it does.

mazza245 Mon 04-Sept-17 09:56:42

Just caught up with this arrangement, thanks Nana3. I can't make this week either, sorry, I would have loved to meet up with you all. Next time eh?

seasider Mon 04-Sept-17 17:04:04

Sorry to hear that Nana3 hope your mum improves. See you next time. Perhaps we can have a meeting next month. Weds and Thursday good for me . Have fun x

Oldcroc17 Mon 04-Sept-17 17:04:54

Hello. Just caught up with this. I'm meeting up with ex colleagues on the 7 th at Barton Grange but not till 1.30! I will look out for you and say hello and hope I can make the next meet up.

tubbygran Wed 06-Sept-17 19:49:27

I think there may only be two or three of us meeting at Barton Grange tomorrow, so as my journey is an eighty mile round trip, I would prefer to join you when there is a bigger group of ladies.
Hope this is okay and I'll keep my fingers crossed for next time. ?

Nana3 Wed 06-Sept-17 21:35:05

tubbygran okay, hopefully we'll meet next time. Best wishes.

Nana3 Thu 07-Sept-17 09:22:03

pocket4321 I have sent you a private message but I think we have to say today's meet up is cancelled. So sorry, hope to meet you another time.

Oldcroc17 Thu 07-Sept-17 18:16:43

I'm sorry you didn't get to meet up. I looked for you (Nana 3 who I've met twice before) and that explains why I couldn't see you! Hope we can have another meeting soon.

mazza245 Wed 13-Sept-17 10:43:55

I've just realised that you didn't meet up after all! I'm sorry about that but glad I didn't miss a meet!

Has anyone any ideas for trying another date? I hope your mum is a bit better now, "Nana3". Shall we try for end of Septemberish?

seasider Sat 16-Sept-17 08:05:00

Happy to.meet at the end of September. How about the 28 September at Barton Grange at 12 pm. We can meet outside the cafe again?

tubbygran Mon 18-Sept-17 14:39:24

Would love to have joined you on 28th September, but have longstanding doctor's appointment at 2pm.
Maybe next time. Fingers crossed, third time lucky! ?

mazza245 Mon 18-Sept-17 23:28:34

I'm ok for Thursday 28 September but have no objection to the 29th or even the week later so that tubbygran can make it hopefully? How is everyone fixed? Barton Grange again? Does Thursday suit most people better than Friday?

seasider Tue 19-Sept-17 20:57:24

Wednesdays or Thursdays are better for.me because I work on Fridays. Happy to go for another date if better for everybody else.
