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.

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

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

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?

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!! ?

Thanks for the address. Thursdays impossible currently. Have fun

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

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

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?

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

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

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 Sun 24-Sept-17 09:11:01

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

tubbygran Sun 24-Sept-17 12:37:24

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

Nana3 Wed 27-Sept-17 08:29:06

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.

mazza245 Wed 27-Sept-17 08:42:40

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!

seasider Wed 27-Sept-17 09:00:39

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

mazza245 Wed 27-Sept-17 16:17:42

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

tubbygran Wed 27-Sept-17 18:47:19

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

Oldcroc17 Sat 30-Sept-17 11:12:31

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.

seasider Tue 03-Oct-17 23:50:40

Hi Mazza Littlemisssunshine coming too !

mazza245 Wed 04-Oct-17 12:22:00

Looking forward to meeting up tomorrow. Most have been before so know where to meet but you walk right through Barton Grange to the cafe and restaurant. We will meet there at 12 noon and hopefully have a jolly good natter!

Let's hope some more new faces can make it next time. Nana3 hope your mum is well and you are able to come. It wouldn't be the same without you.

tubbygran Wed 04-Oct-17 20:33:52

So sorry ladies, I had my flu jab yesterday and my arm is quite swollen and red and hot and itchy! I also feel really weary, so I hope you'll understand if I don't make it tomorrow.
I do hope you have a brilliant time and some yummy cake.x

Grandma2213 Fri 06-Oct-17 01:32:14

Lovely to chat to you lovely ladies today (yesterday) ... told you I was an owl!! DGS won his football tournament and I had a brilliant sing at choir. All in all a first class day! Look forward to seeing you (and others) again next time.

Nana3 Fri 06-Oct-17 07:51:22

So lovely to see you all yesterday and to meet you grandma. Thank you for organising us mazza. I'm looking forward to the next time very much.
