Hi to all Northumberland Gransnetters!

I'd like to arrange a meetup for us in September- my suggestion is:

Monday, 11th September at Heighley Gate garden centre near Morpeth at 10.30.

Some of us have been trying to get together for a little while, so I thought I'd get a bit specific! ?

All welcome, so please get back to me to let me know your thoughts on date and venue - I know that this could mean a bit of a travel for some of us, but it would be lovely to meet up.

Hi And a Happy New Year to All ! X

Hope everyone had a great time over the holidays.

I’d like to suggest Wednesday 29th January from 10 at Costa in Next Morpeth for our next meetup.

This is the only Wednesday I can do this month, but happy for a Tuesday morning if that works for everyone.

Hello Wren123, we’d love you to join us and we are happy to try another venue if that would be more convenient for you.

I should be able to make the 29th too, Jane.
Hope all goes well with your daughter’s operation Anne. xx

Hi

We’ll make it 29th.

Hope your daughter will be fine, Anne x

Mirren Sat 25-Jan-20 22:38:29

Hello , everyone.
I'm pleased to report my daughter's operation went ahead on Thursday and she is fine.
Unfortunately I am needed here in Edinburgh next week because her husband has to return to work on Wednesday.
That means I can't make our meeting again .
Hopefully , once she has recovered, I can resume my normal activities and will be able to join you next month .

Hi All

Sorry I haven’t arranged a meeting until now - the days have just flown by.

How about Wednesday 4th March, in Costa in Next Morpeth from 10?

Please let me know if this is convenient.

Hi All

Hope everyone is keeping well.

Just to say hoping we can meet up again soon.

I’m confused by how many people can meet outside or inside, how many people can be in whoever’s bubbles and whether we will recognise each other behind our masks!

Should we wait until there has been further easing of lockdown?

Let me know what you think.

Stay safe!

Hello All! We moved to north Northumberland in June and I'd love to meet some new people. We're originally from Suffolk and don't have any friends/family here. I'm happy to travel.

granjan15 Thu 27-Aug-20 13:31:27

Hello TheFrugalPiggy and welcome to Northumberland. We are a small, friendly group of locals and newcomers. Pre covid we met up in or around Morpeth and will be doing so again as soon as we can. Keep checking in as Jane will probably post an update about our next meet up.

TheFrugalPiggy Fri 28-Aug-20 17:57:52

Thank you Granjan15. I'll definitely keep checking and hope to meet some of you soon. Morpeth is not that far for me.

Plainjaney Sun 13-Sept-20 14:24:24

Hi to All, especially TheFrugalPiggy!

Wondering about meeting up next week if we can keep within rules.

Any suggestions for somewhere we can book, is roomy or we can sit outside.

Maybe next Tuesday or Wednesday morning.

Jane

Hi Jane.
I’m really sorry but I can’t make Tuesday or Wednesday this week.
One suggestion for a place to meet is outside at the cafe near the food department in Heighley Gate (originally Costa). Inside that cafe is also well spaced out and chairs and tables are constantly cleaned. We felt very safe there last week.
