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.

Thanks for a lovely time at our meet up mazza and seasider . Another sunny day for us to enjoy lunch in the garden and such good company too. I had to eat a massive bowl of pasta for tea though after that delicious but tiny salad.
I'm already looking forward to next time.

Babs hope you can make it tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

seasider Sat 01-Jul-17 00:26:30

Ok see you there!

12 o'clock sounds good to me. Looking forward to seeing you all.
The Contintal is tricky to find however. Keep driving up Broadgate till you get to their brown sign (turn left) then it's right turns till you get there. They have a car park.

Hi all

I have posted on Facebook.....the Continental was suggested at last meeting and I am more than happy to meet there. Don't think we need to book. Shall we say 12oc ☺

seasider Thu 29-Jun-17 19:07:21

Hi Nana. Have posted on Facebook but no replies. Is the Continental still the venue? Do we need to book . Anybody else like to join us?

Nana3 Thu 29-Jun-17 06:39:29

Ha ha ruby hope the plans for your op go ahead this time. All my best wishes.
Babs we have the date July 6th in our diaries and The Continental pub in Preston was the suggested venue. Some who came last time are away but I plan to go. We have made a facebook group but it would be good to post on this thread too so that we can confirm a time.

We are growing in numbers....?..looking forward to meeting you ☕?

Oldcroc17 Mon 15-May-17 11:09:59

Look forward to meeting you Quercus.Sounds a good idea mazza245. We can meet just outside the cafeteria area, on or next to the seats.

Quercus Sun 14-May-17 21:36:17

Thank you Nana3! I look forward to meeting you all.

Nana3 Sun 14-May-17 21:31:33

Looking forward to meeting you Quercus , we are growing in number, excellent.

Quercus Sun 14-May-17 11:13:22

Hello fellow Prestonians, I would love to join you on Thursday.

mazza245 Sat 13-May-17 14:33:48

Good idea! There's some seats in front of a wall outside the doors of the restaurant/cafeteria where we could meet first (I know every inch of the place!). It's such a huge place with outside seating on two levels as well as various nooks and crannies, it's seriously difficult to find anyone!

Oldcroc17 Fri 12-May-17 10:57:39

Shall we all meet at the entrance of the cafe and restaurant?
