Anyone in Cambridge/Cambridges hire area for a meet-up?

Just checked and the charges for entry to Botanic Gardens are adult £6/concession £5.50 which includes a voluntary donation of 10%. Standard entry is£5.45/concession £5.Fitzwilliam cafe is very nice!

I'm happy with a stroll round the Botanics and tea in the cafe there. There's lots to see in January if you like snowdrops and that kind thing.

We are now in to February, so shall we set a date? Friday seems a possibility for lots of us. How about Friday 9 February or Friday 23? That avoids the half-term week, which tends to be busier at the Botanic Garden. Also, perhaps some of you help with childcare in the school holidays.

I'm afraid Fridays are not possible for me as I have grandchildren that day. Hope to be able to come on the next meet up.

Is anyone free on 23rd? If not, let’s find another day/date?

I would prefer another day actually as I volunteer on Friday’s and would not be free until 1 o’clock.

Would someone like to suggest which day of the week we go for, as Friday no longer seems to be preferred day. I personally can generally do anything except school holidays.

Anyone?

I can't do Monday or Tuesday in term time. Sorry I can't make 23rd either!

I can't make 23rd either or Tuesday of next week as DH has hospital appointments. Normally Wednesday is a good day for me.

Might it be a good idea to wait until the weather settles down a bit. We seem to be in for another bad spell next week.

Wednesday is also good for me although I am on holiday in March. I do wonder whether some might be put off with the Botanics as it could be quite an expensive time if people have to come by train or park in one of Cambridge's horrendous expensive car parks. That said though the Botanics works for me as I have an annual ticket.

Just seen this and would love to come along I live just outside Cambridge so easy for me. Monday, Thursday or possibly Friday good days for me. Don’t know my round the Botanical gardens but should be able to work it out.

I was going to say I could join you but I'm only in the area from 5 - 10 March. I'm back home now (in Germany) - did I miss anything? Will be visiting again late April (Mum is deteriorating fast, will be visiting more often)

Sorry I missed the last few messages. Was there a meet-up? For future dates, I can’t do Tuesdays but would generally be able to manage other dates. I’m away from 21st March for 6 days, then we are on the lead up to Easter. Maybe April?

I'm OK from the second week of April. Wednesdays are good for me.

April would be good for me. Wednesdays also good.

Time has passed since we last tried to arrange a date to meet up! Can we have another go at finding a date? July? What days/dates are interested parties free?

I'm up for it, jacalpad. Wednesdays are good for me but I can do other days.

Still interested, but now can’t do Tuesdays or Wednesday.

Is the Cambridge meetup still active ?

Yes! I am currently trying to arrange a date for July. If you would like to join us, when are you free? I envisage meeting at a coffee venue in Cambridge, as previously, but welcome any alternative suggestions.

Will wait until date set then let you know ,would love to meet up with you all again x

Could we maybe do lunch somewhere?

OK,not many replies, so shall we just pick a date and perhaps more will come forward? How about Monday 30 July? Merlot has suggested lunch. Nice idea. Where do you suggest?

I can do Monday 30th.

Not up to date with where to eat in Cambridge these days I'm afraid so will leave suggestions to the others.

Looking forward to another meet up.
