Lincolnshire meet?

I know we have a few Lincs members so does anybody fancy a GN gathering for coffee/lunch/G&T or whatever?
I'm located a couple of miles south of Lincoln and don't drive but am happy to go anywhere public transport will take me and am easy about whether it's morning, afternoon or evening. Plenty of places to choose from in Lincoln itself but other towns are available!

Please, can I come too? I love a GN meet-up and I can get to Grantham easily by train. Is the Angel and Royal far from the station ?

Teetime Wed 18-Oct-17 18:07:36

I can make 31st Oct

Good heavens. Thanks for the update, maryeliza54 . Who thought a handful of GNers behaving not-too-badly was worth informing the Twitterati? This might be interesting ... or scary!

Oldgoat, I'm sure you'll add class and tone to the proceedings, if your user name is anything to judge by! So far as I'm concerned, this is an exercise in getting to meet people (I haven't lived here for long) so the more, the merrier. The Angel & Royal looks on Open Street Map to be around 10 mins' walk from the station, a little over half a mile.

I`ll be taking a taxi anyway, can`t walk very far.

callgirl1 Wed 18-Oct-17 23:49:44

Am I safe to go ahead and book train tickets?

Feeling better about not be able to meet up wouldnt have been able to do 31st as going to corn Exchange with a friend that evening if another meet is arranged I will arrange to use the car and drive up

Scribbles Thu 19-Oct-17 10:10:19

Callgirl1, as all but downtoearth have said 31st is OK for them, then I think we should regard this as a definite arrangement. So, yes, go ahead and book your ticket. Short of some disaster, like a drone falling on the bus stop, I shall be there!

oldgoat Thu 19-Oct-17 11:50:16

callgirl We can share a taxi from the station.

callgirl1 Thu 19-Oct-17 17:52:50

Brilliant Oldgoat, I`ll book my tickets after tea.

Teddy111 Fri 20-Oct-17 10:46:08

Any people near Brigg,Scawby or Scunthorpe

callgirl1 Fri 20-Oct-17 17:37:35

Sorry Teddy, a bit far for me.
Well, I`ve ordered my train tickets. My train gets into Grantham at 11.41am, and I`m going home on the 5.32pm train.

Scribbles Fri 20-Oct-17 18:25:44

Good-oh, CG1. I should be there about 11:30. Now I'm wondering whether to book a table or should we just takeout luck?

Scribbles Fri 20-Oct-17 18:27:39

Darn! That should have read pot luck....

callgirl1 Fri 20-Oct-17 21:12:41

To make sure we can all sit together, it might be wise to book.
Downtoearth, I`m currently trying to find out if the Spalding bus from Boston stops off at Springfields. There is a bus stop there, but a friend tells me the bus from Boston doesn`t go there, but I`ll definitely find out in the next day or two.

downtoearth Sat 21-Oct-17 07:54:48

I can stay on bus and meet in spalding callgirl smile

Scribbles Sat 21-Oct-17 14:44:27

Table for 5 is booked, 12 noon on 31/10, in the name of Grans' Net. See y'all there.smile

callgirl1 Sat 21-Oct-17 15:46:42

Yippee!
Downtoearth, whatever is best for you, I`ll find a way to get there.

Nandalot Sat 21-Oct-17 16:21:42

Scribbles, I think it would be best to book. Hopenthere is room for me!

Scribbles Sat 21-Oct-17 17:26:09

If anyone else wants to join us, please let me know on here or by PM so we can increase the number of places.

oldgoat Sat 21-Oct-17 18:00:14

Thanks scribbles Not long now. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Nandalot Sat 21-Oct-17 18:53:06

Thanks from me too. Looking forward to it.

oldgoat Mon 30-Oct-17 10:42:28

See you all tomorrow. Whoopee!

Scribbles Mon 30-Oct-17 12:55:02

Looking forward to it, OG. Just wondering if we should all wear a carnation and carry a copy of the Times but that's probably a little OTT!

oldgoat Mon 30-Oct-17 13:10:52

scribbles When I went to my first meetup I didn't know any of them but as soon as I entered the restaurant I picked the Grans out immediately! I will be arriving with callgirl so you'll probably spot us straight away.
I wonder if you have a mental image of what we look like and how accurate it will be?
