Hi everone John Lewis is fine for me. Just let me know what date suits everyone. Mid August is good. Looking forward to it.

The easiest place to meet could be at John Lewis in Eldon Square.
I'm not sure if they've got more than one coffee shop.

Just found this thread. I live a metro ride away from Newcastle, well when it’s running I do....wink otherwise I live a replacement bus away. I am South of the big river too .

I still work and do a lot of child care too, so would need a fair bit of notice and some days are impossible . Although I can can sometimes wangle a Friday (it’s half day anyway) . I will see how things look once some dates have been fixed.

I go on holiday 13th of August for 11 days so late August or September would link with you MiniMoon. Could also meet before your 28th July holiday if that fits in with more people though maybe that is too close a time now to get a date everyone can meet.

For me ladies, it will have to be mid August or after. I'm beginning my holiday to Ireland in 28th July. Please arrange a date and I will try to come.

Hello Diane227, Fennel and Minimoon. I would love to join you for a coffee or a lunch if I may. I can easily use public transport for a Newcastle meet up but have not been able to make it to Heighleygate. Maybe we could meet up with any others who are local. Hope there is a day and place we can all meet up.

Hi Fennel and Minimoon. I also live South of the river. I dont drive anymore so couldnt make it to the Morpeth meet up.
Would you like to meet for coffee somewhere ? Im not going away this year so can probably fit in with you . Do you want to suggest where and when ?

Hi Fennel and Diane. I've never manage to get to Heighleygate as my husband monopolies the car, so I have to take public transport. Getting to Newcastle is much easier. The train takes 1 hour and the bus a little longer. I would like to meet up sometime. I'm away on holiday at the beginning of August, so any time after that would be great.

There's a Northumberland group who meet regularly at a place near Morpeth. Just off the A1. I would like to go but live the other side of the river and no longer drive.
