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.

Yes indeed Deedaa. Anyone is very welcome. Let's think about another one in May/June. Maybe the weather will be nice enough for us to sit outside on the Piazza for coffee and then if we make it a Thursday or Friday ,we could cross to The Mosaic cafe for a light lunch.

I'm a bit late commenting (been updating the Virgin contract!) anyone in the Bracknell, Wokingham, Camberley, Staines area do come along to one of our meet ups. We don't bite - honestly.

Sorry you missed the meet up Pennyjw.There were only 3 of us who have known each other for some while so it was good to catch up. Hot chocolate for me and a piece of delicious orange shortbread that was quite unusual.

Auntieflo Wed 05-Feb-20 14:13:38

Hi * Pennyjw*. You were missed!

Coffee and cake ( which I couldn't resist) was consumed and we hope you can make it to the next one.
Well done Greenfinch, for organising us ?
Thank you

Hello Grandsnet friends, I saw Auntieflo's comment on the GM thread about the meetup today - I thought I was watching this thread but obviously wasn't so I have missed the updates! I hope you had a lovely time and hope I see you at the next one.

Auntieflo I would err on the side of lateness. My bus times have completely changed so I will be a little late too.

Greenfinch Tue 04-Feb-20 15:06:14

angelic I have sent you a pm.

Auntieflo Tue 04-Feb-20 12:01:30

Hello all.
If I get the 10.00 am bus, I shall be early.
Or, the 10.30 bus and I will be slightly late.
Our little local bus is good when it runs properly, but dreadful, if it is late, or doesn't arrive at all!
See you tomorrow.

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.

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 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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

Are we all still on for 5th February?

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.

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

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

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!

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.

angelic Tue 31-Dec-19 14:49:52

Oops near!

angelic Tue 31-Dec-19 14:49:25

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

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

That's good Deedaa.

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

Wednesday 5th February looks fine for me!
