Awe Marydoll sorry these dates don’t suit. It would have been nice to see you again.

Can we please agree the 1st June will this date suit most people.

Marydoll Thu 12-Apr-18 15:35:07

Sorry, 1st June is out. I've just booked tickets for Ideal Home Show.
Don't worry about me, you can't suit everyone.

Friday 1st of June would be my first choice. Wednesdays are out for me and also can’t do Thursdays as minding DGD4 however she does live in Edinburgh so at a push I could pop along for a wee while.

Jangran99 Thu 12-Apr-18 12:50:31

All those suit me!smile

Elegran Thu 12-Apr-18 12:25:50

I can be there on any of those days. The menu at Cote looks good, and it is central.

Elizabeth1 Thu 12-Apr-18 12:20:47

Yep (Elegran) what would I do without you? Wednesday 30th Thursday 31st May or 1st June. What about 1st June [Marydoll] would that suit you?

Baggs Thu 12-Apr-18 11:45:02

Last few days of May best for me at the moment.

Katek Thu 12-Apr-18 11:23:46

I’m ok with all dates suggested as we haven’t booked anything yet. Happy to go with majority.

Elegran Thu 12-Apr-18 10:23:37

That leaves out Marydoll. And are you sure those days are not Wed and Thurs? (or 31st May and 1st June)

cascats Thu 12-Apr-18 10:21:26

Me too please, as very much enjoyed the two previous meet ups I came to. Am free both dates in May at present.

Elizabeth1 Thu 12-Apr-18 10:11:13

How about Thursday 30th May or Friday 31st I’m Invigilating in May and these are the only days I seem to be free. And yes there are plenty of lovely places to eat in Edinburgh. Ideas for restaurants please.

Marydoll Thu 12-Apr-18 09:44:52

I'm away on hols last week in May (I hope!).

Jane10 Thu 12-Apr-18 09:37:25

May might be a bit quieter than June? There are loads of other places to eat. Recently, we went to 'Cote' in Frederick St. Nice varied menu. I gather they have a large table upstairs but I've been there in a group of 6 as well.

Elegran Thu 12-Apr-18 09:22:45

I can't be there during the third week in June, so would miss Jane. I'd prefer the end-ish of May.

You do know that the ROSL is closed for refurbishment so it can't be there?

Katek Thu 12-Apr-18 08:18:45

Count me in as well-I was just thinking about this the other day. I’m with Jane re the ‘light’ lunch! grin

Marydoll Thu 12-Apr-18 08:17:15

I too would love to come. I thoroughly enjoyed the last one.
Tuesdays are now the best days for me now.
However, once we have decided on a date, I can then try and work around DIL's rota. (When she eventually gets it. smile )

Jane10 Thu 12-Apr-18 08:05:52

Does it have to be a light lunch grin
I'm in. We're away the first 2 weeks though.

Elizabeth1 Thu 12-Apr-18 08:01:46

How about the second and/or third week in June giving us plenty of time to arrange things and hopefully the weather will have improved.

OldMeg Thu 12-Apr-18 07:37:48

I’ve just come back from a visit to Edinbugh with my oldest GS. It’s a lovely city but, my!, it was perishing on Tuesday. Thank goodness for your pop on and pop off tourist buses as we managed to dodge the worse of the weather.

Jangran99 Thu 12-Apr-18 07:30:55

I'm in Elizabeth ,I enjoyed the company at the Burns lunch so much and would love to meet you all again.

Elizabeth1 Thu 12-Apr-18 06:37:52
