Lincolnshire

Hi Bingbong I work in Newark same here work really does get in the way.

Hi Keeper1, I'm just outside Newark so pretty central for a number of places and I have a car so travel not a problem - it's just work that gets in my way! No hols or days off in term time allowed.

Oh dear! Looks like Jeanie and I will be eating all the cake. Hope to get together with some of you another time.

I am sorry that I can’t make it this time. Hopefully next time.

I'm in Louth, some 50 miles from Boston. Anyone closer to this area? Grimsby is 19 miles away from me and Lincoln about 30.

Sorry Scribbles, I thought I was coming tomorrow, but have now found that I can`t make it. Will look forward to the next time xx

Bing bong same for me I work full time at the moment so only have weekends unless I take annual leave. Where are you I am in Brant Broughton?

Hi, I’d love to meet up with some of you sometime. I’m in the Lincs/Notts area and Lincoln or Grantham are easy for me. I’m a bit restricted by working in a school and can only do weekends or sch hols. So please remember me if the dates are Saturdays or the next half term between 21 Oct - 1 Nov

Short notice, I know, but there will be at least two GNers at Thomas2, St Swithins Square, Lincoln next Tuesday (1st Oct) at 11am.

It would be great if some more could join us!

Hello GladysB nice to meet you and hope see too

Hi GladysB, keep your eye on this thread, there`ll be another meet before too long.

Hi I'm in North Lincs, I'd love to join a meet up if you ever venture this way, or in Lincoln as that's an easy journey for me.

I absolutely agree x

I second that!

My pleasure, Nandalot. I agree, we should certainly try to fit in another one before the end of the year. ?

Thanks you for organising the meet-up, Scribbles. A very enjoyable lunch/ afternoon. Lovely to meet you all. Hope we can arrange something again soon.

That's good, CG1. We won't start without you!
I'll book the table later.

I`ll be a little later than the 12.30 pm suggestion, as my train doesn`t get in until 12.41 pm, but I WILL be there!

A reminder that the Grantham meet up is happening next Thursday, the 29th. Currently, there are 5 of us booked (Julie64 can't make it but we hope to see her next time.)

Plenty of room for more! Just let us know here so we can include you in the table booking.
☕???☕

Leave all booked can’t wait see you all there x

Great!
There'll be 6 of us then -
Nandalot
Jeanie99
Callgirl1
Keeper1
Julie64
Scribbles

Any other intrepid GNers will be very welcome. Just let us know here so we can include you in the table booking.

As for how to recognize each other for the newcomers - just look for a gathering of very talkative women! In fact, there's a comfortable seating area in front of the reception desk, just inside the main hotel entrance and I suggest we gather there. Anyone who arrives early can brace herself with a very good cup of coffee or a stiff gin. As an aside, the first time we met at the Angel & Royal, I arrived early and didn't know anyone else. There was a group of women gossiping away in a corner so I assumed they were GN and went over to introduce myself. They were a pleasant and cheery bunch but seemed a bit nonplussed by a stranger bounding up announcing "Hi, I'm Scribbles!". As it turns out, they were the local Townswomen's Guild! Ho hum...

Seriously, don't worry. The place isn't so big. We'll find each other.?

Thanks Scribbles for all the sorting out, as anyone told you you'd make a great PA.

Looking forward to meeting up again. Good of you to get us sorted, Scribbles.

Well, I`ll recognise Scribbles, Jeannie99, Nandalot and Sarahmob, we found each other the first time, so we`ll probably manage. In Birmingham a few years back we all decided to wear purple and green, suffragette colours!

How will we recognise each other? A red rose and a rolled up newspaper?
