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.

Sorry ladies. I'm going to have to call off at last minute. sad We have much more snow here than last time and it's still coming! My grandchildren's school has closed too so they may end up here. I believe it's turning to rain later but can't take the risk. I'm so disappointed. If it's clearer there hope you make it.

Ive just rung the restaurant and the roads are horrendous! Deep snow, accidents, lorries jackknifed etc. I've booked a table and I'll try to get there but not sure how many of us will make it. Seasider the man said it was taking two hours from Blackpool so we should set off early! Don't know if you'll get this? See you later hopefully?

Oh dear Lucky I had thought it might be just local. Please all of you take lots of care. Thinking about you with fingers crossed.

Would love to join one of your get togethers, see you have one planned for today and hope it goes well. Do volunteer work so need a bit of notice as to when the next one is going to be. Live in St Helens look forward to hearing from you

Will look forward to the next meet up though Garstang seems miles away. Never mind worth the effort to meet up with you .

We try to vary where we meet for just that reason, Marylane. The last two have been much more south, near Chorley and this last one near Blackburn. If you are definitely coming, we will arrange to come a bit further south to meet you.

Hi, just read this blog, is it an old one or are you meeting up at Barton Grange this year 2018? I'd love to join you if so, I live just outside Morecambe.

Hi carolboz. If you’re looking at May 18th it’s last years post. Can’t see there’s another meet up yet but anyone can suggest one!

carolboz Tue 20-Mar-18 20:53:18

Argh thankyou, Oldcroc17, I need to decipher the dates better. Will keep checking in.

We spoke about having a meet up at the end of May. I think Bents Garden Centre was mentioned. I've never been, must look up the location.

Marybel Fri 23-Mar-18 14:12:49

I'd be interested in a Bent's Garden Centre meet up.
Will keep an eye on future messages.

Me too looking forward to meet up with you all .. providing don't get roped into grandma duties!!!

Just dipping my toes in the water and wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting at Bents Garden Centre as previously suggested here. Apparently it's on Warrington Road WA3 5NT, I would be coming from Liverpool. I'm suggesting Monday 10th September as it gives plenty of notice and our grandchildren should be back in school ( for those of us who help out with childminding). It would be nice to meet some of you for a coffee and friendly chat. Let me know.
