Monday 10th September at 11.00am. Hi everyone, I'm dipping my toes in the water by suggesting a meet up and I thought we might try Bents Garden Centre as it has been previously suggested on the forum. Bents is apparently located on Warrington Road WA3 5NT. I will be travelling from Liverpool so I thought 11.00am would be a good time to meet. I hope some of you can join me for tea or coffee and a chat, just check in and let me know.

Hello Northwest meetuppers....has everyone seen the post from Mindy1 re the possible meetup on the 14th November?
We've suggested Gemini shopping park on J8 of the M62 which should be accessible for Liverpool/Warrington/StHelens and even further afield for those who dont mind a drive. As Mindy1 says, an opportunity for a bit of Christmas shopping too as MandS, Next, Boots, Ikea etc all there.......Any takers?

Hi everyone, we're posting up another meet up event at Gemini Retail Park for those who couldn't make this week. Head over there and look for Merseyside/N.West November meetup.

Mindy1 Wed 12-Sept-18 11:02:45

Hi NanaLovejoy. I sent you a message and then remembered your messaging facility hasn't been working. Have the I.T. people managed to sort it yet ?

NanaLovejoy Tue 11-Sept-18 10:25:24

Well Bents is pretty accessible but i suppose Gemini is the obvious one for St HelensWarrington and Liverpool. Im happy to do pick ups for St Helens/Wigan etc

Marybel Tue 11-Sept-18 10:01:39

Sorry to read that not many could make it to Bents and wonder if there is a venue that would be more convenient for St Helens and Warrington area Gransnetters? Any suggestions?

NanaLovejoy Tue 11-Sept-18 09:19:56

Enjoyed it v much. Shame so many couldnt make it.
If Marylane1996 is reading ....apologies but my PMs are not working. Let me know if you want to meet locally.

Happy to meetup again sometime....

Also i personally dont find it confusing even though North West is a big area...it is nice to meet 'local' GNs but happy to just decide whether and how far to travel for any meetups planned.
Thanks again for yesterday!

I had really hoped to come but have so many commitments this week I won't be able to make it. Maybe next time! Hope you have a great time.

Marybel Sun 09-Sept-18 22:31:48

Disappointed that I can't make it tomorrow as I hoped. Please post if any other dates in Warrington/St Helens/ Liverpool area are planned.
Hope it goes well at Bents and you all enjoy it.

I won’t be coming I’m sorry. We are north Lancashire so its too far to travel unfortunately. We call our get togethers North West meet ups as well, could be confusing!
