North London and Peripherals - Trying again!

Hi all

I put in a post recently re anyone in Enfield interested in meeting up. Unfortunately I got no responses from anyone in my area which was disappointing. I did however get 2 invitations from members in Greater London which was really kind and I’ll definitely take them up on this and join them. I also got some lovely messages from Grans in other areas.

I’m just being proactive and trying again for my area. London is a huge place and there must be many members of Grandnet living in north London who may want to join a Meet-up for this area and nearby peripherals for coffee and chat. Come on Grans, let’s get started!!

Not sure if Good Friday would be the best day for a meet up Franbern.
Is it 10.30 that you are planning to meet SuziQ? If so I can come!

SusiQ Sat 30-Mar-19 10:25:02

Yes, meet at 10.30.

Franbern Mon 01-Apr-19 10:23:03

Woops!!!!!!!! sorry did not realise 19th April was Good Friday. I would really like to get to one of these meet-ups, but cannot do 18th April as I will be (all being well) at The George in Wanstead for the Redbridge one. So, hopefully, a future one.

Touching base again about next meet-up at Milk and Honey cafe Palmers Green on Friday, 18th April.

Can those who can come confirm this week please. Things happen, plans change so just want to make sure I’m not the only one who will show up.

Any newcomers very welcome.

SusiQ it is actually Friday the 19th April which I believe is Good Friday. I am not coming- I noticed the discrepancy.

SusiQ Mon 08-Apr-19 10:35:07

So sorry everyone. Got the day wrong. Should be Thursday 18th April for meet-up.

SusiQ Tue 09-Apr-19 11:10:55

Hi all. As Thursday is approaching, could those who intend to meet at Palmers Green please confirm. Thanks.

cangran Tue 09-Apr-19 11:47:19

As far as I know, I can do Thursday 18th. Look forward to meeting you. Do you have a way of recognising each other in Milk and Honey?

SusiQ Wed 10-Apr-19 10:11:31

Hi all. I think I really am loosing the plot!! Was thinking tomorrow was 18th. So, still got a bit of time for new ‘recruits’ to consider coming along.

Cangran, great you can make it. We had no problem establishing who we were looking for last time. It’s a small cafe.

Nannynoodles Mon 15-Apr-19 19:36:14

So sorry SuziQ but I am going to have to pull out of Thursdays meet up. I have had to agree to have the grandchildren at the last minute as it’s the holidays and Mum needs to work. I do love having them and am lucky to see them as much as I do, but why do I find it so hard to say “sorry I have something else already arranged”?
Hopefully if the next one is a Thursday I will finally make it!

SusiQ Tue 16-Apr-19 17:21:51

Unless anyone else joins in, it looks like there will only be 2 of us this Thursday. If anyone else intends to come along could you let me know by tomorrow at the latest please. Thanks.

CyclingKnitter Wed 17-Apr-19 23:12:41

Hi, I’m also going to have to drop out too-really sorry - I was looking forward to meeting you all. But work panics mean I’m going to have a less interesting day. Hope we can sort out a new date. Thursday seems to be popular. How about 2nd May?

Nannynoodles Fri 19-Apr-19 09:38:10

May 2nd works well for me! Hopefully more can make it this time. Hope yesterday’s meeting went well SuziQ and you can make the 2nd?.

SusiQ Mon 22-Apr-19 16:07:43

Hi all.

Sorry but I can’t do 2nd May as I’ve got a hospital appointment in the morning. I can do 9th May. Please let me know who that suits.

Had a lovely meet-up with Cangran last Thursday. Only the 2 of us but we had a great chat.

Nannynoodles Tue 23-Apr-19 07:50:27

Hi, sorry SuziQ but I can’t do the 9th May. Could do the 16th or the 23rd though if that’s any good.
Glad to hear that at least two of you managed to get together!

CyclingKnitter Tue 23-Apr-19 19:16:20

Hi, I could do the 16th or 23rd as well: we're clearly all too busy though!

SusiQ Thu 25-Apr-19 10:11:23

I can do 16th May but need to leave by 12 noon. Please let me know if that suits others who haven’t responded yet.

SusiQ Tue 07-May-19 10:54:54

Just resurrecting the posts for a North London meet-up on 16th May at 10.30am in Palmers Green. At the moment there are 3 of us that can make this day. Anyone else like to join us?

CyclingKnitter Fri 10-May-19 09:11:51

I'm still on for the 16th & 10:30 - 12:00 works fine for me.

cangran Fri 10-May-19 10:08:10

Sorry - I didn't check for earlier messages. I really enjoyed meeting and chatting to SusiQ - shows it doesn't matter if only two can make it. I hope to pop in at 10.30 on the 16th (a short break from panicking about imminent visit of sister and brother-in-law from Canada and the need to tidy the front room before a book group meeting that evening).

SusiQ Fri 10-May-19 16:50:23

I’m really, really sorry folks but I can’t do the meet-up on 16th May. I have quite a few hospital appointments and one has been changed to 16th May at 10.10 am.

Could the ladies who were going to attend on 16th please let me know if 23rd would be ok? Also anyone else who would like to meet. Apologies again.

I can do Thursday, 23rd and this date was one of the original suggestions.

CyclingKnitter Fri 10-May-19 17:19:26

I can do the 23rd - in fact it would be better for me!

SusiQ Sun 12-May-19 09:13:24

That’s good Cyclingknitter. Anyone else?

CyclingKnitter Mon 20-May-19 08:34:36

SusiQ, it looks as though it might be just the two of us: are you ok with that - do you still want to go ahead on Thursday, if no-one else can make it? I'm up for it if you are.

SusiQ Mon 20-May-19 19:05:52

Hi CyclingKnitter. Yes I’m fine to meet on Thursday. There was some interest from other people and I’m hoping that they will get in touch and join us. Anyone else in north London up for meeting on Thursday in Palmers Green at 10.30am?
