Had a lovely first meet up this afternoon with Daisymay1, we are planning another, probably next month, so do join in if you are nearby and fancy joining us for a coffee or lunch.

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all well. Just wondering if there are any plans afoot for a get together in the near(ish) future?

It would be great to finally meet you all, especially now that summer’s almost here........?

Hi everyone, I’m new to GN today - HD8 postcode so interested to hear of any South and West Yorks meet ups in the coming months. Enjoy meeting new people for cuppa, chat, country walks!

Hi everyone
We haven’t had a meet up since April , I’ve been unwell and then busy with grandchildren .
It would be great to have another get together . How about 4th September at cannon hall garden centre at 10.30 .
Just a suggestion I’m open to any others .
Would be good to get together . ?

Hi - I'd love to join the next meet up and live on the outskirts of Huddersfield so Cannon Hall / Yorkshire Sculpture Park are both good for me.

Daisymay1 I’d love to be there but it’s my first back-to-yoga class after the summer break. I’ll hope to be able to join you next time.

Just wondering whether the proposed September 4th meet-up is going ahead?

For some reason I no longer receive emails alerts re thread updates and only just noticed the posts that followed my last one. Still interested though if anyone else is!

Hi Maryj2581 and Grasso
I would love to meet up for coffee , I have sent you both Private Messages .
I’m not very good at organising thing as KateyCrunch sorted out the last couple .
If any one else would like to join us please let me know and I will let you have my phone number .

Daisymay1 Fri 30-Aug-19 18:50:03

Sorry should have made it clear
September 4th 10.30 Cannon Hall Garden centre .?

Party4 Mon 02-Sept-19 19:46:37

Cannot make the 4th due to appt. but would love to meet up at a later date.Will watch for any info but being new to site not very familiar with how things work.Have a good catch up.☕?

Graso Mon 02-Sept-19 21:35:53

UPDATE ON MEET UP - ALL WELCOME!

Sorry that this is such short notice, time and venue for the meeting on Wednesday 4th September is now Cafe Creme, High Street, Penistone at 11am.

At the moment there are just two of us, so it would be great if anyone else is able to make it.

Daisymay1 Wed 04-Sept-19 16:49:21

Lovely meet up today in Penistone .
Was really great to meet you Graso thanks for a lovely couple of hours . Nothing more arranged at the moment .
Please post if anyone else has an idea for another meet up .

Wentworth garden centre (outside Barnsley) is lovely and has a large restaurant/coffee shop

Daisymay1 Wed 04-Sept-19 17:42:14

Thanks Joelsnan ?

Graso Wed 04-Sept-19 21:59:42

Thanks for coming Daisymay1 really enjoyed our meeting, hopefully the first of many ?

Graso Wed 04-Sept-19 22:23:06

Just wondered if it would be useful, before attempting to arrange the next meet-up and in the hope of as many people as possible being able to attend, if anyone interested would post any days that they’re regularly unavailable?

I know there’ll be other random dates too but hopefully we could avoid excluding anyone permanently because of their regular commitments.

So..........Thursdays are generally a no-no for me ?

Party4 Wed 04-Sept-19 23:05:26

Wednesdays have to be back for school pickup.

Daisymay1 Thu 05-Sept-19 09:37:31

I can normally do most days ?

MollyMandy Thu 05-Sept-19 19:16:43

Hello, I’m new to this but have been shyly lurking......I’m in HD5 and see a few other HD Grans. I don’t drive so can’t get to every meet up, but it would be good to meet up if possible.
I can’t do some Mondays or Wednesdays.
I wondered if The piece hall or The square chapel theatre might be a venue?

Daisymay1 Thu 05-Sept-19 20:29:52

Hi MollyMandy
I’m Hd9 and I’m happy to do the piece hall . Any other HD grans around ? I know some of the others who post on here may live further afield ?

Maggiemaybe Thu 05-Sept-19 21:28:54

Halifax would be fine for me. smile As for days, I can't do Mondays at all, and would have to leave before 3 for school pick ups on Tuesdays. I could usually arrange to be free on other days.

Kingfishers Wed 11-Sept-19 21:00:49

Sorry I missed the recent meet-up, I've been abroad and otherwise engaged! Shame as I'm not far from Penistone. I'll try to come to the next one. Anything Barnsley/Wakefield/Huddersfield okay for me. Best wishes to all.

Graso Fri 13-Sept-19 14:44:56

Proposed date for the next meet-up is Friday October 18th at the Thyme bistro at Cannon Hall Garden Centre, Cawthorne at 11am.

Hope that will work for most people. ?

Has anyone visited the cafe/restaurant at Pot House Hamlet?
I’d thought that looked like an interesting possibility but haven’t been myself and not sure if it’s suitable.

Perhaps next time............?

Daisymay1 Fri 13-Sept-19 20:14:57

That sounds great to me Graso . I will be there thank you .?
