Anyone interested in a meet up in Birmingham? Seems quite a while since the last one, but now the weather has brightened may be a good idea to see who is free.

Blinko Sat 12-May-18 09:35:49

Looks like it could be me and you again, NJ.

Teetime Sat 12-May-18 11:00:14

I could possibly do it in the Autumn

Glitterknitbaby Sat 12-May-18 11:51:56

Yes I could do it but only in the daytime. I’m retired so could make most times apart from appointments and the regular things that I go to. Do have some holidays booked in the next few weeks. Know Birmingham well with it being my city but most people seem to meet up at the city museum or in a Costas. But I have got some holidays booked in the next few months

pensionpat Sat 12-May-18 18:57:17

Id like to meet up again

Blinko Sat 12-May-18 21:01:57

Be great to see you again, PP.

NannyJan53 Mon 14-May-18 07:45:37

Let's name some dates and see who is free. I am free, Mon 4th, Tues 5th, Fri 8th and Mon 11th June.

We are away from Monday 18th June for 17 days.

Blinko Mon 14-May-18 08:47:01

I do other activities on most days, so my best day of the week would be a Wednesday. But as this is an occasional meet up, if it turns out that others can make one of these Monday or Friday dates, I'll see about skipping one of my other activities to fit in. It'll be lovely to meet up once in a while smile

Teetime Mon 14-May-18 08:47:21

Not me I'm afraid I will only just be walking without crutches again by then.

NannyJan53 Mon 14-May-18 09:02:45

Sorry to hear that Teetime, wishing you a very speedy recovery to full mobility.

Blinko I am free Wednesday 23rd May. The following week is half-term so wouldn't want to commit to anything as I will probably doing something with granddaughters that week. I have no other Wednesdays free until July !

Blinko Mon 14-May-18 09:29:39

Hi, NJ. I can make 23rd May. Shall we see if PensionPat and Glitterknitbaby have a preference before finalising?

NannyJan53 Mon 14-May-18 10:33:15

Hi Blinko

Yes, let us wait to see if others can join us!

pensionpat Mon 14-May-18 13:07:21

Yes I'm freeeee! On 23rd that is.

Glitterknitbaby Mon 14-May-18 17:48:48

Hi everyone, I can’t make it on the 23rd May But will put the dates in June when I could make a meet up, 20th 22nd 25th 26th 27th 29th. But don’t worry about me as I’m sure there will be other get together. I did have to smile at some of the places where folk go to lunch, John Lewis and Carluchios is a bit out of my league, I usually grab a bag of chips and sit on a bench! But happy to meet up for coffee and a chat to see how it goes.

pensionpat Mon 14-May-18 18:11:01

GKB. The only tine Ive attended a meet-up was at John Lewis cafe. But we only had a coffee. That's what I'd prefer to fit in with my diet! We met at 10ish. I am free on all of those June dates.

Blinko Mon 14-May-18 18:28:33

This is gonna be tricky. I think NannyJan is on hols after mid June.

Tea and cake Mon 14-May-18 18:35:50

Let me know what date you all decide on and I'll see if I can do it. I'm away a lot in June as well...

NannyJan53 Tue 15-May-18 09:07:45

Yes, I am away from 18th June to 5th July!

So far it looks like 3 of us can make 23rd May?

Blinko Tue 15-May-18 09:32:56

Looks like you, me and PensionPat and maybe Tea and Cake. GKB maybe next time, along with Teetime.

Blinko Tue 15-May-18 09:43:45

There's a café in Church Street, just off Colmore Row, called Home Is Where. I've been there, it's not a restaurant, just a café and deli. Perhaps worth a look this time?

NannyJan53 Tue 15-May-18 14:09:18

Good idea Blinko

What time shall we say 11.00am?

A meet could also be arranged for June for those who cannot make it this time!

pensionpat Tue 15-May-18 15:15:42

11.00 is good for me.

Blinko Tue 15-May-18 15:19:59

11am it is then. Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it. Good idea, NJ to make another date in June for others who can't make it this time.

NannyJan53 Tue 15-May-18 16:40:07

See you there on 23rd smile

Blinko Tue 15-May-18 16:50:53

See you all smile
