I think it's time we tried another East Mids meet up. I've missed the last 2 so 3rd time lucky!!

Anyone else up for it?

I would head for the large Supermarkets - there is a Sainsbury and Waitrose and Home base with large public car parks in front of them and a link passage way by Sainsbury through to the main street where Zizzi can be found.

Maw, take a look at www.harborough.gov.uk/directory/13/car_parks/category/30
It lists all the car parks with individual details on each - charges, number of spaces, length of stay etc., plus a map showing the location.
Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Maw, not sure about the car parks, MH is a bit of an adventure for me but there are loads!

Lot of help I am!!

MawBroon Tue 24-Jul-18 10:19:55

Shame you are not Jalima - do you go to any other meet ups?

kittylester Tue 24-Jul-18 10:18:48

Thank you Jalima.

Anyone else need a lift from the station?

Have a good time all of you!!

(I am nowhere near)

MawBroon Mon 23-Jul-18 18:49:52

Think I’ll drive.
Did somebody say Sainsbury’s carpark? Or are there others where I can get longer?

kittylester Mon 23-Jul-18 17:29:31

Bump!

Scribbles Mon 23-Jul-18 15:52:42

That's fine, Kitty. Thanks. smile

Hi Scribbles, I'm happy to collect you if you wouldn't mind hanging on for a short while - more like 12ish?

Scribbles Mon 23-Jul-18 11:12:06

kitty, I've sorted out better train times and should now arrive at Market Harborough at 11:50 . If that would work for you, a lift would be much appreciated in this heat!

kittylester Mon 23-Jul-18 07:36:42

Looking forward to Wednesday!

Can I collect anyone from the station?

kittylester Sun 22-Jul-18 20:28:05

Bump!

I'm happy to do lifts back to the station and collect from the station around 12.15 if that fits for anyone.

Scribbles Wed 18-Jul-18 19:08:55

kitty, I've checked on trains & I have approx an hourly service so could arrive at 11:26 and allow time for a little pedestrian exploring around MH town centre before going to Zizzi's. Or I could arrive at 12:26 and be a few minutes late for lunch. I planned to try for the 11:26 arrival but, knowing how chaotic I am in the mornings, can't guarantee that until I've actually plonked my body into a train seat....
If either of those times works out for you, I'll happily accept a lift but, if not, my feet or a taxi will be fine. I'd probably be glad of a ride back to the station after lunch, though!

kittylester Wed 18-Jul-18 17:07:41

I'm happy to collect from the station if I know a time! My knowledge of Market Harborough is not brilliant but I can manage that. Possibly!

jura2 Tue 17-Jul-18 09:21:52

You are welcome. We always use them when we arrive by train. We will get to MH 2 days later, so have fun.

Scribbles Mon 16-Jul-18 23:09:39

Thanks, jura2. All added to my phone. smile

Bump

Teetime Thu 12-Jul-18 12:36:56

OK nannyjan I have pm'd you.

Scribbles Thu 12-Jul-18 09:58:32

I'm on holiday at present and can't recall train times but it looks as though it's only about a mile from the station to Zizzis? If so, the walk will do me good after this week of major-league eating!

NannyJan53 Thu 12-Jul-18 09:51:08

That is very kind of you Teetime if you are sure it doesn't put you out? It would mean no changes which makes it easier!

I can catch a train to arrive at Melton Mowbray at 11.34.

Teetime Thu 12-Jul-18 09:22:07

or you could get off at Melton Mowbray and I could bring you to MH.

NannyJan53 Thu 12-Jul-18 09:12:56

I have just found this thread as I have been away on holiday.

I have looked at the Train timetable, and I can get a train from Birmingham New Street, change at Leicester then onto Market Harborough.

So would love to join you if that is possible? Would be lovely to meet some of you!
