Hi to everyone in the Southend area. I am a new member ( just yesterday). I will keep a watch on this forum, just in case you have any meetings coming up. I am in Rayleigh. I am sure there is nothing quite like a "girly chat" when one is feeling a little low. Hope you are all in good spirits at the moment.

Hi Bellarosie, nice to meet you. There are a few of us in the Southend area and we have met up a few times. I personally live in Shoebury but I drive so venues not too much of a problem.
I suggest a meet up sometime in June. Any ideas anyone ?

bellarosie Wed 29-May-19 13:09:03

Hi Sar53 Thanks for your response. I too, drive so any local venue is not a problem. I can fall in with any suggestions other people may want to make. Have you been on the site for long? I only found it yesterday but it seems very friendly with lots of helpful comments made to others.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 29-May-19 13:27:16

Sar53, I am away (actually waiting for flight home) will pm you with dates in June I can do x

Flossieturner Wed 29-May-19 16:55:13

I would like to meet up with you all but I no longer drive so it would be great to meet near a Rail Station. I was born in Southend. My mum was a Clippie during the war and my dad worked at the Kursaal after he left the Army.

Sar53 Wed 29-May-19 17:12:06

Hello Flossieturner nice to hear from you. Where are you living now ? There are two or three other ladies who don't drive so I am sure we can accommodate everyone.

Flossieturner Thu 30-May-19 07:23:06

I am in East London so it is easy for me to get to your area by train.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 05-Jun-19 09:35:36

Ok ladies sorry for the lateness of my reply.

I can do any Tuesday or Thursday until Friday 11th July. Might be able to do a Wednesday if that's easier for others.

I drive so not fussy where we meet although it might be nice to meet where there is "outside space" as it's summer.

Will PM Miss Adventure.

Looking forward to seeing friends again, and meeting new ones xx

Old Leigh is lovely this time of year or Leigh Broadway?

Sar53 Fri 07-Jun-19 15:08:35

I can make the 25th or 27th June. I have a lot going on the next few weeks. I'm easy on where we meet but I think Old Leigh would be too difficult to get to for anyone who doesn't drive.
Any ideas ????

GrannyGravy13 Fri 07-Jun-19 15:19:53

I am happy to go anywhere and I can do either of those days

Sar53 Mon 10-Jun-19 20:34:50

Is there anyone else who would like to meet up towards the end of the month ?

Sar53 Tue 11-Jun-19 12:26:49

GG13, Bellarosie and myself are all on board for a meeting. What about Thursday 27th June ? Hopefully we will hear from some of the other ladies who came last time. Let's get something organised. Venue ???

GrannyGravy13 Tue 11-Jun-19 12:37:09

I can do 27/06 easy on venue, can fit in with anyone/anywhere.

Have PM'd MissA, but haven't heard from her for 6-7 weeks!

See you on 27th x

Sar53 Tue 11-Jun-19 16:56:06

What about going back to Maison Noir. I really enjoyed it there last time, midday ?
I will email Bellarosie, I believe she lives in Rayleigh.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 11-Jun-19 17:17:32

Maison Noir is good for me, if are you sure you, would you like something closer to you?

goldmist Tue 11-Jun-19 18:21:10

just seen this-I live on Canvey Island. It would be lovely to meet up. I know Maison noir & drive if anyone needs a lift,

GrannyGravy13 Tue 11-Jun-19 18:43:06

Goldmist you are welcome to join us, look forward to meeting you (I live just over the "bridge"!)

If no other suggestions are forthcoming shall I book Maison Noir for 12 noon on 27th?

Sar53 Tue 11-Jun-19 19:03:14

Nice to 'meet' you Goldmist.
I am quite happy to come to Hadleigh and the 27th at midday suits.
So far we have GG13, Goldmist, Bellarosie and myself. Hopefully we might see some others.
Perhaps we should meet up outside as there are 2 new ladies.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 11-Jun-19 19:50:44

Sounds like a plan Sar53 x

bellarosie Wed 12-Jun-19 14:35:42

Hi Ladies, Just to confirm that I am indeed free on 27th for Maison Noir at midday. Look forward to meeting you all.

goldmist Wed 12-Jun-19 17:02:57

Thank you for letting me join you, If anyone does want to come by train I can pick up at either Benfleet or Leigh station,
See you all then

GrannyGravy13 Thu 13-Jun-19 13:59:29

Ok ladies I have booked Maison Noir on 27th June for 12 noon.

I shall wait outside.

goldmist & bellarose I am short with medium/longish blonde hair and glasses??

Looking forward to lunch.
