Oh dear. Feel so sorry for you, but hope you can make it on the 18th. Last year I turned up for a party a week early IN WALES!! Not entirely my fault though. Had also got a friend to change the date of his annual birthday BBQ so I could attend both events. See you next week.

I tell you what! It was easier to check in the restaurant- I did that as well, in case I'd got it wrong. I've only myself to blame but I am kicking myself! What a stupid stupid thing to do! I wasted a lot of this lovely lovely day, rushing about, getting stuff done, dog walked, tidied up etc, got ready carefully, made up, hair done and - poof! What a let down!

Well, I should read things more carefully! I'm here at Barton Grange, been here since 10 to 12, wandering about, trying to save a table outside and randomly asking people if they were Gransnetters! Just thought to check on my phone and voila! I just hope next week isn't what I changed my longstanding appointment to! What a disappointment! Have to go
Home and have lunch now!

See you all there! 12 noon? You'll all recognise each other and I'll know Nana3 so if she's not arrived I'll look for a table with chattering ladies who lunch?

Cafeteria fine by me.

Hi mazza,

So glad your able to join our soirée. Looking forward to meeting yougrin.

I'd prefer the huge cafeteria area. But, will go along with the majority.

Hi.
Not sure which one. I'll go along with whichever people prefer. Glad you're able to come along mazza245

Are you meeting in the huge sort of cafeteria or in the proper posh restaurant?

Nana3 Sun 07-May-17 23:17:56

Good news mazza see you on the 18th smile

carol257 Sun 07-May-17 21:28:50

The more the merrier ?

mazza245 Fri 05-May-17 23:10:51

Hi all I've rearranged an appointment I had so I can come along. I couldn't bear to miss another meetup! Thanks Nana3. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Nana3 Mon 01-May-17 08:17:14

Decided not to do it as she hasn't asked again. Doesn't seem right from care home's point of view and might cause infection. Thanks for asking.

Nana 3, how did you get on with the earrings for your mum?

Nana3 Sat 29-Apr-17 10:06:48

Really enjoyed meeting you Old (she isn't) alex and carol. See you on the 18th and anyone else who wants to come.

carol257 Wed 26-Apr-17 10:42:52

Me too Alex....had a great afternoon, and Oldcroc definitely doesn't live up to her name lol ?

Oldcroc17 Wed 26-Apr-17 10:05:05

Only by a few years though! Hope we can all make it next time.

alex57currie Wed 26-Apr-17 08:51:30

Hi oldcroc <waving>. Your username causes me to laugh each time I see it because as I've said you were the youngest there. All being well, see you on the 18th.

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.
