We haven't met for a while so l was hoping for a get together in the New Year.I will suggest a few dates and venues and see where we go from there.Can anyone manage Wednesday 5th February, Thursday 13th February or Friday 21 st February. I suggest the Mosaic Cafe in the Methodist Centre in Wokingham though if anyone prefers Bracknell please say.It is very reasonably priced and they do a simple lunch on Thursdays and Fridays.If anyone prefers something more upmarket (sorry Auntieflo )there are several other places in the new Plaza.Hope to hear from you soon.

What a nice idea and about time for another get together.
(DH had lunch in The Mosaic cafe today)
Will have to get back to you re the dates .

DD and I were in there yesterday and we thought the jacket potatoes with chilli looked nice also the Christmas cake which they told us was homemade. Nice friendly place.

I can do Wednesdays or Fridays. Thursday is out because I am tied up with school runs and taking DiL to and from work. Haven't been to Wokingham for ages so that will be interesting.

Hello all, it would be great to meet up, I can make most days but would prefer not to make it a Friday. Mosaic Cafe sounds good, I have walked past but not been in yet.

Greenfinch Sat 28-Dec-19 19:05:51

Shall we say Wednesday 5th February 10.30 at the Blue Orchid Bakery in the new Plaza Wokingham ? If the date doesn't suit we can always change it.

Auntieflo Sat 28-Dec-19 20:11:58

Greenfinch, I have taken note of the date . Thanks.

Greenfinch Sat 28-Dec-19 20:30:09

Auntieflo Brilliant! There should be at least 4 of us and it would be nice if one or two others could join us.

Deedaa Sun 29-Dec-19 22:57:49

Wednesday 5th February looks fine for me!

Greenfinch Mon 30-Dec-19 08:16:28

That's good Deedaa.

Hello Greenfinch
I would like to come along.
Is The Blue Orchid bear the Train Station?
Angelic day

Oops near!

Greenfinch Tue 31-Dec-19 16:41:58

Not really angelic (about a mile) It is walkable but there are fairly frequent buses into the centre Nos 3 and 4 from just outside the station. It would be lovely to see you though. We last met in Reading so if you think Wokingham wouldn't work for you we could organise another one for Reading.

Auntieflo Tue 31-Dec-19 17:17:24

Hi Angelic, ( add on to the post from Greenfinch. )

If you do manage to come; you can also get a 121 bus from the station to the town centre. It runs approx. every 30 minutes, so you have a choice of buses, but make sure it's going to town, and not to Tesco!

angelic Tue 31-Dec-19 18:10:08

Great thank you, Greenfinch and Auntie Flo.
Look forward to seeing you

Greenfinch Tue 31-Dec-19 19:06:15

The same with the 4 or 4X. Some go to Reading. You want the Bracknell one. No3 is safe .It only goes into town. It is only hourly though. 4 and 4X are every 20 minutes.

Deedaa Wed 29-Jan-20 15:02:05

Are we all still on for 5th February?

Auntieflo Wed 29-Jan-20 17:51:37

Hi Deedaa. All still OK for me at the moment. ?

Greenfinch Wed 29-Jan-20 18:40:02

Yes we are still on.There should be five of us all being well and anyone else is very welcome to join us. See you all there. The Mosaic Cafe does not do food on Wednesdays but The Blue Orchid does cakes etc.I should have said it is in the new Piazza. The Plaza is somewhere else !!Let me know if you don't know where to find it.

nanafish Fri 31-Jan-20 08:37:39

Would love to come but sadly have to work on wed.. Have fun maybe I will join the next one.

Greenfinch Fri 31-Jan-20 09:15:15

Sorry you are not able to join us nanafish. We will make it another day next time.

Greenfinch Sun 02-Feb-20 12:16:14

angelic I hope you are still able to join us. The bus stops are to the left outside the main entrance to the station. Ask for Broad Street which is probably only one stop.I will be on the No 3 bus which gets to the station at 10.21( sometimes a bit later) if you want to meet up with me there.I will look out for you.If not ,turn right when you get off the bus and then left by the shoe shop and the Piazza( square) is a little way down on the right.Hope to see you there.

Greenfinch Mon 03-Feb-20 15:08:03

Looking forward to seeing everybody on Wednesday at the Blue Orchid round about 10.30 ish.I am coming by bus so will probably be held up by the roadworks.

Greenfinch Tue 04-Feb-20 10:02:44

6 Peach Place is the actual address of The Blue Orchid. See you tomorrow .They seem to have changed the times of my bus so I may be 10 minutes later than I expected to be.

angelic Tue 04-Feb-20 11:55:04
