Is there anyone in the Doncaster area interested in meeting up?

allsortsofbags Sun 20-May-18 19:12:11

Hello Folks

Mapleleaf can't make 31st May and Willow can't make 24th so what do you ladies want to do? Maple can make 14th of June so we can look at that to start organising out June meet up.

Bev1409 and Willow can make 31st and I haven't been able to get hold of snowbird04 but I do hope anyone who can make it on the 31st will be there even though Maple is missing.

So all we have to do is fix a time if we are happy with Georgian Tea Rooms.

Lovely to meet you ladies today.

Looking forward to our next get together and hope there will be more of us :-)

Sad you had to leave Willow and after all that you could have stayed :-(

We need to think about where and when we'll get together and lets hope the weather is better.

Take Care and stay warm lol

Willow500 Thu 26-Apr-18 18:21:13

Bothy - who was that then grin

Willow500 Thu 26-Apr-18 18:20:23

What a lovely afternoon - really enjoyed meeting you bothy and will definitely arrange another one soon. Sorry I had to rush off - when I got back to the car park it was deserted so I could've stayed for another coffee after all smile

Mapleleaf Thu 26-Apr-18 17:39:30

Thank you allsorts and Willow for a lovely afternoon. I'm already looking forward to our next meet up. We must arrange it soon. ?

Mapleleaf Thu 26-Apr-18 09:39:46

Morning, Willow,
Just seen your post.
I’ll be wearing black trousers,orange top, silver coloured long necklace. Probably my brown quilted jacket.( That might change to beige Mac if this rain keeps up)!!
Will loiter round the entrance to cafe around 1 pm. ?
See you later.

Willow500 Thu 26-Apr-18 08:32:49

OK so today I'm mostly wearing black - with a floral top. In case of doubt I've also got a large owl hanging round my neck grin See you later!

Mapleleaf Wed 25-Apr-18 20:59:25

You are welcome tomorrow if you're free.

Bev1409 Wed 25-Apr-18 12:16:56

If you have another meet up in the future I would love to come.

Willow500 Fri 13-Apr-18 12:31:37

Actually knowing me I'll probably be the one hanging around outside the loos grin See you there and will also probably be in trousers of some kind!

allsortsofbags Tue 10-Apr-18 17:48:19

Great :-) 26th 1pm in Debenhams is on my calendar. As to what I'll be wearing ??? Won't know until the day but it will be trousers lol.

So three ladies looking lost is a start :-) See you there xxx

Mapleleaf Tue 10-Apr-18 15:14:12

Ok, 26th at 1pm in Debenhams it is then.
I'm 5'3", greying hair. I also wear glasses. I'll post what I'm wearing on the day as, like Willow500, I change my mind! It will be trousers though!
Looking forward to meeting you ?

Willow500 Tue 10-Apr-18 13:05:48

Ok how about 26th at 1pm in Debenhams (they have some comfy seats in there at the bottom end). I think I'm 5'4 with blond hair (well I know I have blond hair) but won't have a clue what I'm wearing until half an hour before I set off - Mrs Indecisive that's me! I'll be the one looking confused no doubt grin

allsortsofbags Tue 10-Apr-18 11:46:54

Sounds like WE have plan :-) I can do either Thursday and 1pm Debenhams/Binns works for me.

Hey we are doing 'Ladies Wot Lunch" :-)

How will we identify ourselves? Well I'm about 5'8" (was 5'10" but shrunk) grey/blonde hair, wearing glasses and looking lost lol.

However, on whichever Thursday we pick we could post a brief description of what we are wearing to help.

So all we have to do now is nail which Thursday and Debenhams or Binns :-)

Lets do this ladies :-) I'm so happy this is happening, silly I know but I am I'm smiling so thank you both.

See you soon x

Mapleleaf Mon 09-Apr-18 12:33:16

Yes, that sounds good. I can do either Thursday. Shall we aim for around 1 pm for lunch, Debenhams? How will we identify ourselves??

Willow500 Mon 09-Apr-18 11:34:22

OK how about either next week or the week after? Venues are fine or Binns - are we doing ladies wot lunch? smile

allsortsofbags Mon 09-Apr-18 11:18:04

:-) Ok peps. A Thursday it is then and somewhere in Frenchgate seems to work :-) All we need to do now is settle on a date, time and place.

Debenhams or Costa works for me and as there's only the three of us so far seating will be ok. I will try to get hold of snowbird04 so we may be four.

I'm so please we are getting this going. Look forward to hearing from you both :-)

Have a good day, kind regards SMM

I have an appointment on Thursday mornings but I can change that with notice so lets do this

Mapleleaf Sun 08-Apr-18 14:59:52

If there’s just 4 or 5 of us then debenhams cafe would be ok, or there’s a costa cafe on the same level in Frenchgate that has just been extended. A Thursday would be ok for me.

Willow500 Sat 07-Apr-18 18:25:04

Afraid evenings are out for me unless it's high summer as I can't drive in the dark sad but Thursdays are generally a good day for me work wise although this week I have the accountant coming. There's a pub up at the side of Lakeside (forget the name) which might work? Or somewhere in Frenchgate? Depends how many of us there would be really - getting 20 seats in Debenhams cafe could cause an issue grin

allsortsofbags Sat 07-Apr-18 17:38:21

Thanks for the replies ladies :-)

I'm happy with either town centre or Lakeside and am flexible on the when.

We often assume meet ups are day time events but I don't think there are any rules to say it can't be an evening thing. It's more about what works best for us so and what we can fit with other commitments.

I have a lot of flexibility as I'm fully retired and family visits are also flexible so if you ladies would like to suggest the where and when we can go from there :-)

Looking forward to meeting up :-) Take care and have a good weekend.

Willow500 Fri 06-Apr-18 12:04:42

I'm just north of Doncaster so could do it although I work so the date might be difficult. There's places round Lakeside we could meet in.

Mapleleaf Fri 06-Apr-18 12:00:36

Thanks for your message, allsortsofbags.
It would be nice if there were any more GN's interested in a meet up. Maybe somewhere central for the first meet? Perhaps in town?

allsortsofbags Thu 05-Apr-18 17:37:17

Hi snowbird04 and Mapleleaf.

Thank you both for leaving a message, sorry it's taken me so long to reply.

I live near DRI and have a car so travel isn't a problem - setting up the GPS and following it is some times a challenge lol.

I like being on GN and I like meeting other GNers too.

snowbird04 I tried to send you a PM but the site said you weren't set up for that but as it's only the two of you (so far) that have replied I though I'd just send an open message.

Who knows we might be able to get a few more GN's interested.

Hope this find you both well, fingers crossed we can get something arranged.

Mapleleaf Mon 19-Mar-18 15:06:59

Whereabouts in Doncaster?

snowbird04 Fri 23-Feb-18 13:58:36

Hi, I just joined today I'm in between Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley if you fancy a chat anytime smile
