I was wondering about Ina! Yes, I'll add her.

Marelli Mon 11-Sept-17 17:50:21

Thanks for doing that, Elegran. Is it ok to put my mate Ina on the list, too, please? ☺️

Jane10 Mon 11-Sept-17 15:09:23

Excellent. Will look forward to it. Thanks for organising Elegran

oldgoat Mon 11-Sept-17 15:09:06

Thanks elegran.

Elegran Mon 11-Sept-17 15:05:10

That's it, then. Booked for Wednesday 13th, 12.30ish at the ROSL. The 15th was not available. Numbers flexible as long as they know nearer the time.

Elegran Mon 11-Sept-17 14:57:18

I liked the sound of that one, GeminiJen, but I don't know anyone who would join me either.

GeminiJen Mon 11-Sept-17 12:01:26

Elegran...It's the classic round voyage: Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen on MS Nordkapp. It's been on my wish list for some time now. But it took a while to find a friend who wanted to do the trip during the winter months.

Elegran Sun 10-Sept-17 21:54:30

That is ten. It is looking very good! Best fit for dates at the moment is 13th or 15th. The Friday 15th could be a bad choice (end of the week) I shall see what they say.

Me too please, ? am free for all dates at present, but still have to finalise this years Christmas Market trip with daughter.
(and decide where to go this year)

Jane10 Sun 10-Sept-17 21:23:03

12th, 13th or 15th best for me but I might be able to fit round another date (not Thursdays though). It's all sounding good!

Elegran Sun 10-Sept-17 19:17:18

Of course, oldgoat .

oldgoat Sun 10-Sept-17 18:40:34

Please, may I come too? Any date after the 11th.

Elegran Sun 10-Sept-17 16:55:17

That is eight. I'll try booking tomorrow.
Which Hurtigruten trip is that, Geminijen? I was looking at their site just yesterday.

Katek Sun 10-Sept-17 16:53:53

14fh/15th good for me - still gives 10 days after to complete C.......s preparations! Can manage 11th-20th though so quite flexible. I'm quite happy with lunch and not a show as I have long journey home.

Baggs Sun 10-Sept-17 16:50:21

Put my name down as interested. No date is a problem at present.

GeminiJen Sun 10-Sept-17 16:12:42

Thanks to EllenT for drawing this to my attention.
I'm free on Dec 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
I'll just be back from a Hurtigruten trip....and may need thawing out with a glass or two...wine wine ...At least that's my excuse grin

Elizabeth1 Sun 10-Sept-17 12:49:00

I'm free 13,14,15, December woohoo wine

Elegran Sun 10-Sept-17 12:20:11

I shan't mention the dreaded C**-word yet, as September is only partway through, but we do need to start planning and booking if we want to meet up in December. The sooner we book the more likely we are to get a table.

Possible dates - 11th to 20th December, with the 14th or 15th mentioned.
Possible venue - ROSL, Princes Street.
Likely format - lunchtime eating and drinking, and talking. It is just possible that a splinter group may also go to see a show in the afternoon, if there is one that appeals.
Numbers - So far six people are interested. ( Katek Elizabeth1 Jane10 EllenT Marelli Me )

Please add your name if you are interested, and say which date(s) you would prefer.
