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.

Hello. Hope you have a nice catch up. Unfortunately I can't make it ( first Thursday of the month clashes for me). Hopefully meet up next time.

Thank you Mazza. I'm looking forward to meeting everybody next week. x

Sorry to Iam64 who I know can't make Thursday's at the moment. We will arrange the next one not on a Thursday, promise! Hope there's a faint possibility you could make it this time, it would be great to see you xx

That's great Mazza thank you . See you next week x

Ok I've made a decision! Next Thursday 5 October at 12 noon in front of the restaurant/cafe inside Barton Grange, north of Preston. Hope that's ok for everyone. I've made a list and potentially there's twelve of us at least who might make it plus anyone else who fancies coming along. Babs1952 has expressed interest before, hope you can make it. See you all then!

Sorry to have missed the latest posts. Hope to make it to the meet up whatever date is decided. A lot depends on how my mum is on the day, she's very poorly.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

United with diary at last! Thursday is good for me, but unfortunately can't do Wednesday. x

seasider Sun 24-Sept-17 09:11:01

Any of the GN ladies from our first meeting at Barton Grange interested?

mazza245 Fri 22-Sept-17 11:00:05

I'll wait for more replies but let's look at Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 October then.

seasider Thu 21-Sept-17 19:48:35

Wednesday 4th ok but I may be a bit late as having a gas meter fitted. Thursday 5th fine too x

tubbygran Thu 21-Sept-17 13:20:07

Suggest you make a date and I'll come if I can. Definitely can't make end of September, but first week in October is a possibility. As you know, no diary until Saturday! x

mazza245 Thu 21-Sept-17 12:51:53

Just read back and Seasider can do Wednesdays as well! Does that suit people better? What about the ones who haven't made it yet! pocket4321 Oldcroc17 Iam64?????? And of course tubbygran?

mazza245 Thu 21-Sept-17 12:45:35

What shall we do? Anyone make a decision round here? Nana3?

Iam64 Wed 20-Sept-17 16:57:36

Thanks for the address. Thursdays impossible currently. Have fun

tubbygran Wed 20-Sept-17 14:09:44

Think Thursday 5th October should be good. So silly not having my diary. Back home on Saturday.
Go with 28 September if more of you can make that date. I'll make sure I catch up with you sometime!! ?

mazza245 Wed 20-Sept-17 12:35:51

So, shall we try for the following Thursday then and that's Thursday, 5 October, 12 noon outside the cafe again? If that's no good for tubbygran perhaps we could revert to the 28 September if that suits more people? what does anyone think? Nana3?

mazza245 Wed 20-Sept-17 12:30:40

No it's Barton Grange, north of Preston. On the A6 halfway between Fulwood and Garstang. Sorry, hope you can come.

tubbygran Wed 20-Sept-17 11:50:18

Am on holiday just now, without my diary!!
Think the first week in October is good for me, if that suits anyone else.
Love the cakes at BG ?x

Iam64 Wed 20-Sept-17 06:29:16

Is that Barton grange near westhoughton?

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.

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?

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! ?

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?

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?

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.
