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..

I have a feeling that there is already a group that meets in Swindon.If I were you I would start a new thread entitled Swindon meet up and see if anyone responds.

Hi ladies, I am actually in the Marlborough area (or near Swindon) I can possibly just about do Reading, or Newbury, Hungerford areas if anyone is remotely my way. Need disabled parking ideally .....

It was lovely meeting you all, it would be lovely if you can make the Surrey meet up in Guildford.

Thanks to Greenfinch for organising the meet up this morning. Enjoyed the chat, seeing friends and meeting Angelic.

Greenfinch Wed 13-Feb-19 16:53:02

Thanks to all who came today. I really enjoyed chatting to you all.MadeInYorkshire I will try and find a venue nearer the station for next time. I will have a look to see if there is anywhere suitable in Friar Street.

Hi, I thought I had posted earlier this morning but don't see it so suppose I failed. Have a good meet up and I would love to see you at the next one.

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

Thanks for the info Greenfinch, hope to see you all there on Wednesday 13th, buses willing.

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.

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

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?

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 10:43:49

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Wednesday 13th sounds fine for me

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

Sorry,should be Nibsy's

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 ?

angelic Sun 20-Jan-19 21:04:11

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