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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thought I would bump this back to the top smile

Did we arrange a time?

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

11am seems to suit most people?

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

Yes, 11am is good for me!

Tea and cake Thu 16-Aug-18 07:02:39

Have we decided on a venue?

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.

Tea and cake Sat 18-Aug-18 06:57:52

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

Blinko Sat 18-Aug-18 09:38:49

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.

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.

Blinko Wed 22-Aug-18 08:07:53

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

Tea and cake Wed 29-Aug-18 14:36:51

Oh dear, and now I find I can't make it after all. So sorry. I have to be elsewhere ? . A real pain because I was looking forward to it. It will have to be the next one - November? Before Christmas takes over?

Nonnie Fri 07-Sept-18 17:00:18

Sorry, looks like I can't come after all, surprise visit from my cousin who lives abroad. Please PM me about the next one.

NannyJan53 Fri 07-Sept-18 17:05:47

So just two of us? Would it be better to postpone date to October, so that more may be able to make it?

Blinko Fri 07-Sept-18 18:26:06

Good idea, NJ

Blinko Fri 07-Sept-18 18:26:27

What about Elrel?

Blinko Tue 11-Sept-18 12:02:01

Hi NJ, I tend to agree we should postpone till more can make it. I'll pm Elrel as she hasn't come back on this thread.

NannyJan53 Tue 11-Sept-18 12:40:53

Ok Blinko last 2 weeks in October would be good for me. Obviously I will try to fit in with whatever date is decided, but I am away till 8th October!

Tea and cake Tue 11-Sept-18 12:49:12

And I'm away last week in October. We all obviously are having too much of a good time!

Blinko Tue 11-Sept-18 14:15:48

You're right there, T&C smile I can only make 10th, 23rd or 31st of October... Any of those any good?

Blinko Tue 11-Sept-18 14:16:44

Might need to look at November, as suggested earlier.

Nonnie Tue 11-Sept-18 15:53:49

At the moment those October dates are all good for me.

Tea and cake Tue 11-Sept-18 18:30:17

10 October sounds ok, at the moment ?
