East Midlands meet-up - 26th September in Nottingham

Thanks Kitty- actually, as always when we come to UK, we will be massively busy too- visiting friends and family, admin, Xmas shopping, writing cards etc - so don't want to organise anything complicated at all. I have remained in touch with a few people during my absence- and if they had time for coffee or lunch in MH or Leics- would be lovely. Otherwise- fine, thanks.

Hi Jura, nice to see you. Unfortunately, I'm really busy at the moment - maybe next time. Might be an idea to start a thread?

Hello-I shall be in Market Harborough for 2 weeks from next Monday- if anyone fancies a coffee or lunch.

Yes I think this one is a no go isn't it?

Bump!

Sorry I'm going to have to duck out of the meet up. I'm needed to look after GC
Hope you all have a lovely time, and hope we can get together another time.

I obviously would be pleased if another date could be fixed.
Can I suggest that a shorter time between deciding and meeting might be better?
Less time for other things to crop up.

Whilst I would very much like to meet J52 and JaneD3, I hope no-one will take offence if I say that I think it might be better if we choose another date - a larger gathering always works better. Just my opinion though.

Another update!

I'm afraid that I have now had it confirmed that our friend's husband's funeral is on the 26th - it was bound to be wasn't it? - so I'm sorry but I am unable to come to the meet up.

Also, I think that Teetime is now unable to come.

I haven't booked the restaurant perhaps the remaining 3 of you - J52, Greyduster, JaneD3 can work out if you want to go ahead as planned, change the meeting place or postpone.

I'm really sorry. I seem destined to only make every 2nd or 3rd attempt at a get together.

Oh no Ann!!

Obviously your appointment must take priority - keep us posted.

I am so, so sorry but I won't be able to make the 26th.
I have just had an appt come for that day at the Orthopaedic Clinic about my hip and knee and as I am in constant discomfort ,it must take priority.
I feel I am fated never to meet up with you?

Again! Any more takers.

Bump

Lovely! c u there

Bump

Yes from me

That is fine by me. I am so looking forward to meeting you all ( not to mention getting out of the house for a few hours)
Hooray.

Obviously, didn't mean date - meant place!!!

Shall we say 12.15 at Jamies?

Please say if you have strong objections to either the date or time.

so how many

Teetime
Greyduster
Ann60
J52
JaneD3
Me

Any one else out there like to join us?

I don't mind either but I think if we are a small party we ought to book - decision anyone?

I have hat hair even without a hat, kitty!! If memory serves me, the two restaurants are within spitting distance of each other. I have no particular preference. I can get a train which will get me in about midday unless anyone wants to meet earlier. I'll book a ticket when we come back from holiday.

Have I mentioned my hat hair gd?

I think we mentioned Jamies or carluccios - anyone have a preference? Which is easier to find in Nottingham? What time is your train gd?

Pleeese tell me I don't have to wear a hat of any kind before I order my train ticket!!!

I can get a train arriving at approx 11.30 or 12.30 would prefer the early one, but that makes timing easier. I love Italian food but am easy to please anyway as long as it isn't Indian.

Don't think we'd decided on a time or venue. What does anyone think? I'm happy with either suggestion and I suspect the time will be dictated by train arrivals.

It would be great to see you jane. You wear the red hat and the rest of us will recognise you.
