Wednesday 20th is better for me. I am on holiday on 27th.

I can manage both dates.

Do you know train arrival times in Ely Downtoearth?

downtoearth Thu 24-Aug-17 20:41:08

No but I can find out merlotsmile

We need to allow half an hour to drive down the A10 to Milton park and ride then another half an hour to get to Drummer Street (might be quicker than that) then approx. ten minute walk to John Lewis.

Shall we go for Wednesday 20 September, 11:00 at John Lewis's coffee shop? I'll get there a bit early and put a 'Gransnet' sign on the table. It will just be a piece of A4 paper on the table. Nothing too obvious and attention attracting!!!

Perfect for me.

Merlot arriving at Ely station on train arriving at 09.28 to allow good time for buses...can I PM you with my mobile number ICE..thanks DTE

That sounds fine, dte. Plenty of time to get to the Park and Ride at Milton.

I'll PM you my mobile number as well as my car reg so you can spot me being moved on in the car park. grin

Thanks merlot..can meet you in tesco car park if easier....dont want to start the day with a ticket for loitering with or without intent or worse still kerb crawling or soliciting grin

merlotgran Wed 06-Sept-17 13:00:00

Good idea, dte. I can park close to the bit where you walk through from the station - by Timpson's kiosk.

I've sent you a pm with my car reg. and mobile number

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

See some of you tomorrow, around 11:00 in John Lewis's coffee shop. I'll be sitting with a piece of paper on the table, that says ' Gransnetters!' I have a grey bob, longish! cafe

JackyB Wed 20-Sept-17 11:37:14

Thinking of you slurping coffee and nattering. Hope you have the gorgeous weather my mother is convinced you always have around those parts.

Maranta Wed 20-Sept-17 14:09:24

Didn't notice the weather, we were too busy nattering! Sorry you couldn't make it but we hope to do it again so watch this space.
