Baubles and I are meeting for coffee, or perhaps early lunch at the Art Gallery on the Mound on 1st March (a Friday). Who would like to join us?

The bar menu looks great! Don't think I'll go to yoga. I can't turn up at a hotel in my usual post yoga wrecked look!

Thanks Geminijen, have a fabulous holiday and hope to see you before too long.

Marelli Tue 19-Feb-19 15:25:11

Geminijen, I missed the last one, too - I felt quite bereft ?.
Have a great holiday, though. Hopefully we'll get another one sorted before very long.

So sorry I can't join you all, especially as I missed the last Edinburgh get together. I'm in Barcelona with the Spanish grandchildren....Hopefully next time.
And congratulations Baubles on your new grandchild wine One of my grandsons was tongue tied too but it was soon sorted. Hope all's going well with mother and child flowers

Looking forward to it x

Marelli Mon 18-Feb-19 21:59:08

It'll be lovely, as usual. If anyone else feels like coming, please say?

cascats Mon 18-Feb-19 21:47:27

Thanks Marelli, looking forward to it.

Jangran99 Mon 18-Feb-19 12:59:01

Thanks Marelli, looking forward to seeing everyone ??

Marydoll Mon 18-Feb-19 12:57:03

Well done, Marelli! smile.
I have my fingers crossed!!!!

baubles Mon 18-Feb-19 12:01:08

Well done Marelli, organised in no time. smile

Marelli Mon 18-Feb-19 11:44:44

All done! The young chap I'd spoken to this morning had spoken to his boss, who said if we couldn't all get seated in the bar, then we could have our meal in the restaurant and choose from the bar menu. He's booked a table for 10 in the restaurant for us just in case. ?
If anyone else would like to come, I'm sure it will be just fine.
Marydoll and Oldgoat, hope you can come. ?

Thank you, I'll look at your suggestions. Have a wonderful meet up.

Elegran Mon 18-Feb-19 10:48:36

Yes, go for it. This "coffee or early lunch" has grown!

Marelli Mon 18-Feb-19 10:42:38

Thanks Marydoll - is everyone else OK with this?

Jane10 Mon 18-Feb-19 10:42:26

Yes Marelli just do it! The lunch menu is always nice and not expensive.

Marydoll Mon 18-Feb-19 10:12:57

Good idea Marelli and thanks for organising!

Marydoll Mon 18-Feb-19 10:12:22

Hope you are feeling a bit better KateK flowers

Katek Mon 18-Feb-19 10:09:18

I’m soooo jealous! B..... shoulder!! Have a pudding for me ?

Marelli Mon 18-Feb-19 09:49:55

Have just phoned them. They don't take bookings for bar meals, unfortunately, so it would be down to us taking a chance on finding a space for us all. Doubt if that would work out.
Will I book us a table in the restaurant - what do you all think?

Marelli Mon 18-Feb-19 09:16:29

I'll phone them this morning and what they can do for us.

Jane10 Mon 18-Feb-19 08:39:56

This has certainly grown arms and legs Marelli!

Jane10 Mon 18-Feb-19 08:39:23

Worth asking.

Marydoll Mon 18-Feb-19 08:32:27

I did like the bar menu. Do you think they would serve bar lunches, but give us the use of the dining room?

Jane10 Mon 18-Feb-19 08:23:20

I meant Aizle for*MarionHalcombe*.
Given those numbers I suspect that a bar lunch might be pushing it for the hotel. They're very helpful but I bet they'd find it easier to serve us in the dining room.
