How about Wednesday 6th February or Thursday 7 th February for our next meet up in Reading ? Or else the following Wednesday or Thursday .
For a change of venue shall we try a place in Cross Street which is very close to the station ?I am not sure of its name but will confirm when we decide on a date. Please let me know your preference and I hope lots of you can come..

Here's the coffee shop I've previously mentioned. Map shows railwsy station. It's a gluten free cafe.

Thanks Gabriella.It looks good. Strange I have never noticed it.
I hope you can make it though I expect Guildford is easier for you.

The following week would suit me better. Got the dentist on the 7th and I'm out on the 5th so pushing it a bit to be let out on the 6th!

Greenfinch Fri 18-Jan-19 13:53:46

I can manage either Wednesday 13th or Thursday 14th.

Bump

I think I could do those days. Look forward to meeting you all, but a bit nervy!

Greenfinch Mon 21-Jan-19 11:28:35

Shall we make it Wednesday 13th February to free up the other day for ourselves.
I suggest we meet between 10.30 and 11 at Nisby's in Cross street.
I will have a colourful scarf on my handbag for anyone who doesn't know me.
Any more takers ?

Greenfinch Mon 21-Jan-19 16:28:18

Sorry,should be Nibsy's

Deedaa Mon 21-Jan-19 23:29:08

Wednesday 13th sounds fine for me

Greenfinch Tue 22-Jan-19 11:40:31

Excellent !Looking forward to seeing you again and catching up.

Greenfinch Sun 27-Jan-19 19:32:55

I was in Reading yesterday and had a look at Nibsey's. It looked nice but is very small and was crowded out. I am thinking that a change of venue might be appropriate as I don't think they would take too kindly to us sitting chatting for a couple of hours over a cup of coffee. I was thinking we might re- locate to John Lewis if everyone is agreeable.

Deedaa Sun 27-Jan-19 20:53:50

might be wise, not that we sit and talk for hours!!!

GabriellaG54 Mon 28-Jan-19 10:43:49

JL is fine for me and Reading no problem. Just a relaxing ? ride and a chance to do more some shopping. ????

Pennyjw Mon 28-Jan-19 10:59:24

I would love to see you again Greenfinch and Deedaa, also to meet Gabriella. JL 10.30 - 11 am.

GabriellaG54 Mon 28-Jan-19 11:03:32

Guildford 9:48 arrives Reading 10:37 walk to JL 4 mins.
Is that time (10:40-45) ok?

GabriellaG54 Mon 28-Jan-19 11:08:27

No. Guildford 09:44 >> Reading 10:15.
I found quicker train. Only £6.65 return. grin
See you girls there brewcupcake

Greenfinch Mon 28-Jan-19 12:06:03

You found the train that only stops at a few stations. That's good. See you about 10.30 in JL.

Auntieflo Mon 28-Jan-19 12:47:10

MadeInYorkshire Wed 13-Feb-19 10:46:05

Only just see this ... don't think I could walk as far as Station to JL though sadly ... hope you have a good morning!

Pennyjw Wed 13-Feb-19 11:20:30
