The next MK meet will be in the front café at John Lewis on Wednesday 21st November.
Unfortunately I won’t be there this time, but I thought I’d start the thread early so we can discuss how to be more visible!
Last time two Grans couldn’t identify our table. Wearing hats has been suggested.
Any other ideas?

Oh, forgot to say it will be at 10.30.

Not my area so I won’t be there but you could nominate one person to arrive early and put something on the table that everyone recognises. A certain colour bag or a teddy bear or similar. Our local group did this at our first meet up I think it was a pink rucksack but then again my memory is not reliable ?

tanith my memory is also going but it was something like that and nobody was embarrassed going up to a stranger. It worked well for us.

Going to miss you Treebee. I’ll wear a brown hat, why not? I’ll arrive at 9.45. and look out for other hats appearing.

Thanks Nannyanny. Hopefully I’ll be at the next one. Sounds like a good idea to put something on the table too just in case?

Hello all, I'm really sorry that I'm not going to be able to come tomorrow. I hope you have a lovely morning.

Hi folks. Did the meet up go ahead this morning?
I arrived at 10.40am but couldn't find anyone so went off and returned at 10.50am but still couldn't spot anyone.
Was anyone there?

Oh cricket ! Had something else in today and completely forgot to send my apologies. Sorry to anyone who was waiting around. Did anyone meet and was anything else arranged ?

Hi everyone, well I turned up at 10.30 and it was very busy. There was a bus tour stopping for morning coffee so seats were at a premium. however I waited at the lift for 15 mins and no one turned up and I was sitting with a nice group of ladies from the tour, a spare seat, they were lovely. So no coffee morning, sorry I missed you Soupy.

Oh that’s a shame. Shall we try again in January?
