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!

So now we have
Baggs
Weeanni59
GeminiJen
Elegran
Oldgoat
Jangran
Marelli
Lurkio
Ina
Jane10
and possibly Marydoll and Brunette.

Elegran Fri 18-Oct-19 14:04:21

Brunette Are you on for the 2nd?

Elegran Fri 18-Oct-19 14:09:59

Grammaretto, Cascats, Katek See new thread for a meet-up late November.

Elegran Fri 18-Oct-19 14:23:57

Unless anyone objects, I shall book soon for a festive lunch, 12.30 for 1.00 o'clock on Monday 2nd December, for a party of 15 (estimated - 10 definite so far, plus a couple of possibilities)

Thank you Elegran, looking forward to seeing everyone.

Marelli Fri 18-Oct-19 15:47:38

Thankyou, Elegran. xx

Jane10 Fri 18-Oct-19 16:00:58

Will you need a deposit?

GeminiJen Fri 18-Oct-19 17:44:31

Thanks from me too, Elegran flowers

Marydoll Fri 18-Oct-19 17:50:05

Sorry to say, after going through my electronic diary, it's a definite "No" from me. I'm so disappointed.

Elegran Fri 18-Oct-19 22:55:05

That's a shame, Marydoll Maybe you could make the "alternative" non-Christmas meet ?

Elegran Fri 18-Oct-19 22:55:55

I don't think I'll need a deposit, Jane10, but I'll let you know if I do.

Brunette10 Sat 19-Oct-19 12:02:36

Hi, so sorry for delay. However I won't make the Monday unfortunately but can't be helped. I will be thinking of you all munching into your turkey wink - enjoy!

Elegran Sat 19-Oct-19 12:06:43

A pity, Brunette, but maybe you too could make the "alternative" on the 26th Nov?

Elegran Wed 23-Oct-19 20:07:38

We are booked into the Cranston Restaurant at the Old Waverley Hotel for a festive lunch at 1.00 pm on 2nd December.

weenanni59 Fri 25-Oct-19 13:20:04

That’s great , thanks for organising it

Elegran Fri 25-Oct-19 13:43:16

I have booked for 15, although we don't have that many people who have confirmed that they can come. Others may well ask to be added before the 2nd December. Still a few places left, folks, so roll up!

GeminiJen Thu 31-Oct-19 13:13:39

Elegran Thu 14-Nov-19 15:00:16

Baggs Sat 16-Nov-19 12:03:20

Looking forward to this.

Jangran99 Sat 16-Nov-19 12:32:09

And me, just wish marydoll was fit to come too. See you on the 2nd smile

grannylyn65 Sat 16-Nov-19 12:49:20

How far is Waverley from bus station? x

Elegran Sat 16-Nov-19 14:23:55

A few minutes walk, grannylyn65, over North St Andrews Street, then South St Andrews Street and into Princes Street. You can see it on Google Maps.

Marydoll Sat 16-Nov-19 16:36:11

Thank you Jan, I am disappointed, I love these meet ups!
I hope you all have a lovely time.

Caroles60 Wed 27-Nov-19 07:51:23

Hi, I have just joined and was going to ask if I could join your meet up on the 2nd, however, I am disappointed as I am working in Newcastle on Monday. How often do you meet up? I would love to join you all next time.

Caroles60, I have posted something on the Glasgow thread in response to your post.
