Just interested to find out how many people in N Ireland are on GN.

Allegretto Tue 12-Jun-18 19:45:05

I am!

MountainAsh Tue 12-Jun-18 22:01:02

Me too!

Good to know. Hello everyone. Perhaps some time in the future we may arrange something if folk want to.

Allegretto Sat 16-Jun-18 16:33:54

I would be delighted to meet up. Would Belfast be a suitable venue or would elsewhere suit better? I am happy to travel, but with there being so few of us, it might be best to make sure everyone is up for a get together.

Ziggy62 Sat 16-Jun-18 17:37:43

me too, I would love to meet up. I can make Belfast

annep Sun 17-Jun-18 10:59:23

I would later in the year. I am very busy during the summer.

annep Sun 24-Jun-18 09:54:22

Strange so few in Northern Ireland. Perhaps folk aren't so isolated here?

Emma49 Mon 02-Jul-18 13:00:02

Belfast suits me too.

dani4 Sun 19-Aug-18 20:30:15

Me too (Belfast)

Ziggy62 Wed 05-Sep-18 14:07:29

mama1 Fri 14-Sep-18 16:29:22

Im new to gransnet and would be keen to meet up. (Belfast suits me too)

dani4 Tue 18-Sep-18 12:00:43

How about sometime during last 2 weeks October?

aggie Tue 18-Sep-18 13:13:40

I am in NI , co Armagh , but too odd and too old to do a meet up but I think it would be great , keep us informed so I can enjoy it in a "virtual" scenario smile

BonnieBlooming Tue 18-Sep-18 13:27:03

Im in Northern Ireland!

Flapjack Tue 18-Sep-18 13:56:16

I am from N Ireland too
and would like to meet up. Been lurking for a while.

annep Sun 23-Sep-18 08:43:49

Hi everyone. Has anyone met up yet? I am not free until November.
Is anyone interested? I've no idea how people arrange meeting up. Some people think its a bad idea but I think it might be nice to give it a go.

Judthepud2 Sun 23-Sep-18 09:34:27

Hello. I'm from NI too. North Down. I went to a meet up in Edinburgh once when I was in the area. It was lovely to be able to put faces to names. Good to see so many of us here now. I put out a request for local GNers about 3 years ago and no response? I'd be up for a meeting.

annep Sun 23-Sep-18 09:55:08

Well Aggie I am 67 . Any other older GNs on board?

dani4 Sun 23-Sep-18 11:55:40

Well I am 72 smile. Ok Annep, how about November then? Does this suit everyone? Only day in the week I can't manage is a Monday, otherwise ok. Could we arrange a date to suit all?
Aggie, you are never too old!

Coolgran65 Sun 23-Sep-18 12:02:46

I'm 69 and in County Antrim.
Can make Belfast ok.
I do childcare every Friday and alternate Tuesday/Thursday.
Monday is my best option but would do my best to make a meet work.

A rough count ... looks like 10 so far.
(unless I've done a double dunt)

Judthepud2 Sun 23-Sep-18 12:11:43

68 year old here. Early November is out for me as grandchild 8 is due in England and I am booked for childminding duty. Otherwise most days I can be flexible.

Flapjack Sun 23-Sep-18 12:46:46

I am 67 and from North Down too so not a spring chicken. Any time suits me. I think meets up might be arranged by private messaging but not sure could be wrong.

annep Sun 23-Sep-18 12:50:23

Wed or Thursday Belfast ok. Can do another town if it suits some travelllers. I'm pretty central. Trying to think of good venue not too noisy. ideas?
