I should have been posting on this before now, but the weeks seem to have whizzed by. First, please can I get preliminary dates to cross off if they are likely to be no use for lots of people who would like to be there? We are talking end of November and start of December at the moment. If that proves impossible we may have to widen the scope a bit.

The Old Waverley was good last year, and not too busy to fit us in, so I'd be inclined to repeat that, to save a lot of hassle finding somewhere new. Oh, how I wish the ROSL hadn't closed!

I'd love to join you and the other Scottish Grans please Elegran.
I could come on the 29th November, 2nd,3rd or 5th December.
It seems a while since we all met.

Elegran Wed 16-Oct-19 16:09:03

It is a while, Oldgoat Who else CAN come on 29th November, 2nd, 3rd or 5th December?

Marydoll Wed 16-Oct-19 17:17:50

I will need to fit in at the last minute.
My health is so unpredictable at the moment, there is no point in making firm plans.
Fingers crossed I will make it.

Elegran Wed 16-Oct-19 18:42:20

Fingers crossed, Marydoll

Jangran99 Wed 16-Oct-19 19:23:05

Great! I can come on any of those dates!!!
Thank you Elegran for kicking off another. meet

Elegran Wed 16-Oct-19 20:09:51

So we have dates for three of us at least, Jangran.

Jangran99 Wed 16-Oct-19 20:49:05

Early days Elegran, just you waitgrin, they'll all be along soon!

Elegran Wed 16-Oct-19 21:07:32

Like buses - either none at all or three at once.

cascats Wed 16-Oct-19 21:50:26

Not me for those dates I'm afraid away from 27 November to 7 December, will be sorry to miss it as enjoyed last year. Agree Old Waverley is good venue though.

Marelli Thu 17-Oct-19 07:35:29

Just seen this - I'll check the calendar (wanted to catch it before it fell off the end of the page)!

Jane10 Thu 17-Oct-19 07:37:23

So far I can do all dates mentioned so far except the 5th Dec.

Marelli Thu 17-Oct-19 07:51:02

Wouldn't be able to do the Friday (29th Nov), but would be OK for other days - Ina, too.

Brunette10 Thu 17-Oct-19 08:42:54

I shall see what dates confirmed and take it from there. I can't do Fridays but I understand that Fridays may be the the best day for a lot, no worries at all.

Marelli Thu 17-Oct-19 14:38:18

Bump

Elegran Thu 17-Oct-19 17:55:32

Concentrating on 2nd and 3rd December now.

That is for Elegran, Oldgoat, Jangran, Marelli, Ina, Jane10 and possibly Marydoll and Brunette.

Elegran Thu 17-Oct-19 17:58:15

Cascats I think we should look nearer the start of November as well for a "normal" meet- maybe you can make that.

Katek Thu 17-Oct-19 18:45:48

I can manage last week of November, but first week if December is out for me I’m afraid. Panto runs that week. Would love to catch up with everyone - hope we can get a date sorted out that suits us all! grin

Marelli Thu 17-Oct-19 18:51:05

Christine (aka Lurkio) would love to come if it was decided to meet on Monday 2nd.

GeminiJen Thu 17-Oct-19 19:04:08

I can manage both Dec 2 and 3...with a preference for Dec 2 smile

Elegran Thu 17-Oct-19 19:42:33

Katek we seem to be aiming for 2nd or 3rd (looks like 2nd if that is bookable), but if we also do something earlier in November, you and Cascats will be first in with preferred dates. Better launch that soon.

Elegran Thu 17-Oct-19 19:44:27

Marelli, Lurkio and GeminiJen The 2nd seems the most likely, so we'll probably see you then.

Grammaretto Fri 18-Oct-19 00:11:37

I would love to join you but that week is looking very busy. We have a family Do on the 1st. But you decide on a day and I'll try to come if possible. Thanks to Marydoll for alerting me and ofcourse to Elegran for your organisational skills.

weenanni59 Fri 18-Oct-19 11:11:31

Hi , would love to come and meet you all again if there is space .
2 nd and 3rd ok for me

Baggs Fri 18-Oct-19 12:53:47

Add me, please. 2nd or 3rd is fine.
