Would anyone like to start us off with suggested dates in December? I can’t do Mondays.

December is usually a busy month for me, weekends usually fine, people are with their families. I will try and fit in with what others want, getting from North Birmingham into the City centre in the week, means I can't get there until after 11.
Tuesday always out, otherwise it's random meet ups that I have arranged.

Nobody else want to join us? I may just land on a date and time, and people come along if they are available.

Railways are on strike (limited service) on Saturdays until Christmas.

Hi GrannyBeek! Have only just seen your post. I would love to meetup in Birmingham. I enjoyed our last meetup. I'll be travelling by train so I'll watch with interest once a (meetup) date has been decided.

I’d like to meet, but can’t do Fridays or Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

Ok, I'll just go for a date! Thursday 12th, 2 pm at John Lewis, Grand Central. Sorry it's short notice but I thought 19th might be too near to Christmas. Love to see anyone who can make it.

I’ll try to make it- polling day!

Hi sorry but I can’t make any day this week.

GrannyBeek Tue 10-Dec-19 23:08:31

Oh dear. Best laid plans and all that. I have had a meeting rearranged because of illness and it’s at 1 pm tomorrow. I am unlikely to get to JL by 2, but should be there by half past.

I am planning to going to Birmingham tomorrow, but SIL is in Hospital, so may be needed for school pick up. It is all up in the air at the moment.

If I am there I will wait at the entrance to the café at 2,30.

NannyJan53 Thu 12-Dec-19 08:37:14

I am still hoping to be there. Visiting at QE hospital, then I will make my way to JL afterwards. I will be wearing a blue coat.

Lovely to meet GrannyBeek today. We had a good chat. Hopefully we can arrange another in the New Year and perhaps more can make it!

Blinko Thu 12-Dec-19 19:42:49

Blast, I've only just seen this. Next time, perhaps.

NannyJan53 Fri 13-Dec-19 10:01:44

Aaah we missed you Blinko x

Blinko Sat 14-Dec-19 13:54:26

Sorry to miss you too. I've been experiencing some problems with the GN site recently and not all communications are reaching me, either by daily newsletter, or it seems by Forum headliners listed.

Grr...

Keep me posted, though for any New Year meet ups, please. Meantime, Merry Christmas to one and all x

Is there one day in the week that most people can make in the month of January. Thursday orxSaturday, good for me

Blinko Thu 19-Dec-19 19:32:07

I can usually make a Saturday - mind you Saturday in town is always a bit of a scrum isn't it? Every other Thursday would also be ok. Anyone else?

GrannyBeek Sat 21-Dec-19 23:01:16

Some Saturdays are ok for me. Thursdays also ok, in the afternoons.

NannyJan53 Mon 23-Dec-19 08:21:44

Thursday are usually ok for me.
