Hi any Lincolnshire folk here?

callgirl1 Sat 17-Aug-19 22:38:28

OK by me. The Angel and Royal was OK, the fish and chips weren`t bad Scribbles! By the way, you know the place where we had those fish and chips in Boston? The manager there has just opened a new place of his own, in the market place, I`m trying to find out if they deliver!

Scribbles Sun 18-Aug-19 10:29:39

I've now heard from Jeannie99, who could join us on any of those August dates if we make our minds up! Keeper1?? Any thoughts? Anyone else??

PS. If my favourite village pub, not far from here, ever stops serving the best fish & chips in the world, I shall have to move to Boston!

Keeper1 Sun 18-Aug-19 12:30:13

Happy to go along with date that you decide I just need time to arrange leave from work

Julie64 Sun 18-Aug-19 13:28:46

Hi,
I’m in a village just outside Lincoln.
Would love to meet up.

Lynker Sun 18-Aug-19 14:05:35

Hi,
Grantham is not really very convenient for me, but if you ever meet up in Lincoln, I would try to be there.

Scribbles Sun 18-Aug-19 16:30:04

Right, then!
Let's say Thursday 29th August at the Angel & Royal. About 12;30 for 1pm?

I'll give them a call next week and book a table for us. Look forward to seeing you all.smile

Lynker, a couple of us get together in central Lincoln fairly often. It'll be sometime in September when we next do it but I'll let you know when we've fixed a date.

Keeper1 Sun 18-Aug-19 16:37:39

I will book time off and with enough notice I can make a Lincoln meet up too x

Scribbles Sun 18-Aug-19 17:13:58

We'll let you know about the next Lincoln gathering, too, Keeper.

Julie64, I hope you can make it to Grantham next week but, if not, then maybe the next one in Lincoln.

callgirl1 Sun 18-Aug-19 18:13:14

I`ll be there Scribbles! And if you ever meet up at Thomas 2 in Lincoln again, count me in, their all day breakfast was lovely!

Keeper1 Sun 18-Aug-19 19:31:10

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

callgirl1 Sun 18-Aug-19 20:45:31

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!

Nandalot Sun 18-Aug-19 20:50:14

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

jeanie99 Sun 18-Aug-19 23:12:26

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

Scribbles Sun 18-Aug-19 23:39:30

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.?

Keeper1 Mon 19-Aug-19 09:54:41

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

Scribbles Fri 23-Aug-19 09:58:02

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.
☕???☕

callgirl1 Mon 26-Aug-19 17:15:09

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!

Scribbles Tue 27-Aug-19 11:19:26

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

Nandalot Thu 29-Aug-19 18:56:19

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.

Scribbles Thu 29-Aug-19 20:14:08

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

callgirl1 Thu 29-Aug-19 22:18:03

I second that!

Keeper1 Fri 30-Aug-19 20:10:51

I absolutely agree x

GladysB Sun 22-Sep-19 11:12:25

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.

callgirl1 Sun 22-Sep-19 22:54:32

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

Keeper1 Mon 23-Sep-19 20:01:59

Hello GladysB nice to meet you and hope see too
