Good morning all!

It looks like the best date would be Friday 17th January, probably at the Concert Hall Cafe/Bar.

I have used my charm and obtained the phone number of the Catering Manager, to see if we can reserve some tables, as there will probably be twelve of us, if everyone comes.
They don't usually allow reservations, but I will have ago!

I just need to get a hold of him!

The picture on the left is the one with the names. I'm the photographer, I'm sure you can work out who I am! ?

Kalu Fri 17-Jan-20 21:23:36

Och, but it was a good chat?

Marydoll Fri 17-Jan-20 20:57:13

Kalu, I was so busy chatting to you, I didn't realise the time, then I got to the station and found my watch was 10 minutes slow! ?

Kalu Fri 17-Jan-20 20:44:02

Oh no Marydoll. How did you manage to miss ‘2’ trains???‍♀️
Hoping your blocked ear clears up quickly.
As you know the names of everyone at the table, would it be allowed to put names to identify who is who? Just a thought.

Sorry not to have met you this time Elegran. Hopefully we will meet up some day. Hope you found some improvement with your troublesome eye problem.

Marydoll Fri 17-Jan-20 20:21:03

Thank you all for the excellent company, I had a lovely day.
So much so , that I missed not only my train, but the next one too!!
I missed so much of the conversation, due to my blocked ear.?. I hope no- one thought I was ignoring them! ?

Elegran, we missed you, hope your eyes improve.

jacq10 Fri 17-Jan-20 20:05:40

I would just like to echo everyone's comments above and say what an excellent day was had by all. Hope it won't be so long until the next time. A big thank you to Marydoll.

weenanni59 Fri 17-Jan-20 19:12:50

Grammaretto Fri 17-Jan-20 17:57:21

I'm on the bus home. It was great!!
Thanks Marydoll you even provided good weather and you seated us far away so our raucous laughter didn't disturb other lunchers. grin

Baggs Fri 17-Jan-20 17:00:06

Seems I'm home first. What a lovely meet-up! marydoll is charged with a write up and posting photos.

Grammaretto Fri 17-Jan-20 10:59:46

Sorry Elegran didn't get on the bus with me. She warned me.
It's a beautiful sunny day from the top of the bus.

Jangran99 Fri 17-Jan-20 10:49:15

I absolutely WILL join you all sometime soon. DH and I normally go to the C2C concerts in March at the Hydro so fingers crossed he will be feeling a lot better by then .

Have a lovely day all smile

Elegran Fri 17-Jan-20 08:57:54

Sorry, but I am calling off. I am going to the opticians for an eye test, which always includes an eye health check. I'll see some of you on Monday, and others sometime soon. Try not to scandalise too many of the other customers.
