Hi all. It must be time for another North West meet up . Hopefully we won't be snowed off this time! I am looking for suggestions for a venue. We used to meet at a pub close to the Trafford Centre but we have also been to Bolton, Blackburn, Preston, Chorley, Lytham and Garstang so any suggestions welcome.

We need to decide a venue. I think Botany Bay is the one most mentioned. I agree with luckylegs Bents is a long way if those from South Lancashire can't make it.

Malthouse then sounds good,I will on the lady from St Helens ..what time? Noon?

Definitely hoping to make it. Surely no snow this time!!!!

So the Malthouse at noon on Wednesday then ? Looking forward to it. We should probably mention it on the old thread as we need to encourage the others who have talked about coming perhaps?

See you all at the Malthouse at noon, looking forward to it x

I hope you make it Grandma2213.

Luckylegs and I are meeting at Barton Grange today at 12.30, instead of the Malthouse as there is probably just the two of us and it is much nearer for us. Hopefully more will be able to come next meet up. Best wishes to everyone having difficult times.

Doh!!! Went to Malthouse! Still ... sat out in the sun for a while and 'chilled', a rare opportunity. smile

So sorry Grandma2213. Mixed messages, I'm afraid. Nana3 was convinced you weren't able to make it today. Next time we'll organise it so much better.
We had a lovely lunch and mooch round Barton Grange north of Preston. Nana3 and Seasider bought me a beautiful orchid for my birthday, even though Seasider was at work and couldn't come! See proud photo. Thank you so much you two, how thoughtful!
