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 23-May-18 08:22:42

See you later then smile

NannyJan53 Wed 23-May-18 07:32:56

Oooops pressed button too quickly smile

Sorry to miss you PP hopefully another time soon.

NannyJan53 Wed 23-May-18 07:31:34

Yes, Merry Hill is ok for me. 11.00am outside Debenhams on ground floor?

Blinko Tue 22-May-18 18:14:46

Sorry you can't make it this time, PP. Hope to see you next time.

Hi NJ looks like me and you again, after all that. Merry Hill?

Ive just had a phone call offering a hospital appointment which I've been waiting for! I've had to accept it because it's urgent. I'm so sorry to let you down. I hope you have a nice chat. Hope to make the next one.

pensionpat Mon 21-May-18 22:35:39

Looking good!

Blinko Mon 21-May-18 19:27:17

Hi PensionPat, on 23rd I think it's you, me and NanJan. Home is Where is in Church Street, just off Colmore Row, opposite Hotel du Vin.

It would be great to see you next time, Lazigirl.

pensionpat Mon 21-May-18 09:03:36

Looking forward to see you all on Wed. Can we have a round-up of who to look out for please?

Lazigirl Mon 21-May-18 09:03:21

Hi all. Met a couple of you in Bridgnorth last year, and would like to come to Birmingham but can't manage it this month. If any of you fancy a trip to sunny Shrewsbury a few Shropshire grans are meeting on June 6th. Hope to meet up with you next time.

NannyJan53 Mon 21-May-18 08:36:30

Sorry to miss you T & C, and I will probably miss the June one as we are away from 18th!

Tea and cake Thu 17-May-18 20:58:52

Always seems to happen, miss things because away scooting around the country! Regards to you and Nannyjan53. See you at next one, I hope...

Blinko Thu 17-May-18 11:53:15

Sorry to hear you can't join us this time, T&C. There's bound to be another time.

Tea and cake Thu 17-May-18 07:37:09

Oh no! Will be out of the country on 23 rd. Hope to make it in June!

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

See you all smile

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

See you there on 23rd smile

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.

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

11.00 is good for me.

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!

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?

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.

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?

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...

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

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

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.

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.
