Is there anyone out there, in the Southend area, who would like to meet up at the beginning of April ?

Sar53 Wed 06-Mar-19 19:57:44

Hi everyone. I'm not sure the Arches are a good idea as some ladies don't drive and it would be impossible to get there by public transport.
As far as I can tell we live in Shoebury, Benfleet, Leigh, Canvey and Eastwood. Any suggestions for a place to meet that would suit everyone ?
I look forward to your suggestions .??

How about Leigh or Hadleigh as they're sort of in the middle?

Hi ebayqueen glad hear from you x

GrannyGravy13 Wed 06-Mar-19 20:33:31

Maison Noir in Hadleigh is lovely.

MissAdventure Wed 06-Mar-19 20:51:09

Yes, I've been there before and really enjoyed it.
I'm happy to go anywhere, really. smile

I don't know Maison Noir but I'm quite happy to go there if it suits everyone else. Please say nay or yay to Hadleigh ?.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 07-Mar-19 08:50:46

It has a large car park nearby. Do not use Lidl as you are time limited.

It’s easy for MissA Cassiemax and myself but we would have to book.

Us three will come together, if you find anywhere nearer your end it’s not a problem, I am happy to drive.

Sar53 Thu 07-Mar-19 10:34:14

I'm happy with that. Is the car park at the back of the shops opposite Choice ? I will drive as often drive through Hadleigh to get to the M25.
If everyone is happy then please go ahead and book it GG13.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 07-Mar-19 11:29:44

Yes Sar that’s the one.

I shall book next week if everyone is happy?
