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 Wed 22-Aug-18 08:07:53

Oho, it's looking like four or five of us. Jolly good!

Elrel Tue 21-Aug-18 20:42:29

Oops! JL is fine by me. Apologies for not coming back.
I am, however, extremely worried that BMAG, tea room and all, is about to close for 3 years. Our City Council has decided that rewiring the adjacent Council House merits this. After what happened to the old Science Museum I just hope we'll get BMAG back in a recognisable state.

If I remember correctly, when we met last Elrel thought JL was ok, near the station and has escalators. Re what to wear, if this cooler weather prevails, the coral mac may get another outing.

Ok, thought you were waiting to hear from Elrel. Will let you all know what I'm wearing nearer the time!

Blinko Thu 16-Aug-18 07:58:51

I think we've agreed JL, as you suggested. Plenty of room, if more of us turn up.

Have we decided on a venue?

NannyJan53 Thu 16-Aug-18 06:58:36

Yes, 11am is good for me!

Blinko Wed 15-Aug-18 08:22:36

11am seems to suit most people?

NannyJan53 Tue 14-Aug-18 10:12:33

Thought I would bump this back to the top smile

Did we arrange a time?

Blinko Thu 09-Aug-18 07:40:03

Excellent, Elrel. Would JL be ok for you? I'm thinking access wise..

Elrel Thu 09-Aug-18 02:24:39

I'd love to meet up again, Wednesday 12th looks all right for me.

Tea and cake Wed 08-Aug-18 19:57:58

Thanks Blinko. Where are we meeting? John Lewis is nice.

Blinko Wed 08-Aug-18 09:13:39

Nonnie has just pm'ed me saying she thinks she can make it, health permitting. I've advised keeping an eye on this thread for details nearer the time.

NannyJan53 Wed 08-Aug-18 08:45:54

Wednesday 12th September is good for me smile

Blinko Wed 08-Aug-18 07:47:31

Sorry, LuckyLegs.

Blinko Wed 08-Aug-18 07:47:15

And Lucklegs...

Blinko Wed 08-Aug-18 07:44:52

Just pm'ed Nonnie.

Tea and cake Wed 08-Aug-18 07:18:12

I can do Wednesday 12 th. Could someone who knows how to do it PM Nonnie please? I have tried but it hasn't worked!

NannyJan53 Mon 06-Aug-18 17:07:30

I am ok for either dates!

Hopefully others can make these dates too?

Blinko Mon 06-Aug-18 11:47:38

I'm ok for either Tuesday 11th or Wednesday 12th?

NannyJan53 Mon 06-Aug-18 11:14:27

Glad a few of you made it!

Perhaps w/c 10th September, I seem to be free that week smile

Blinko Thu 02-Aug-18 16:29:14

It was good to meet again, even for such a short time. Must do it again in the not too distant smile

Tea and cake Thu 02-Aug-18 14:05:09

Nice meeting up again, Blinko. I hope you enjoyed your salad! ?

Blinko Thu 02-Aug-18 08:04:27

I'll be wearing an emerald top and blue patterned trousers. See ya later!

Tea and cake Wed 01-Aug-18 21:26:53

I will be carrying a large orange plastic bag (ever stylish me!)
