Which of you folk are still interested in a Wokingham/Reading meet up possibly in September?

Deedaa Tue 06-Jul-21 15:06:19

I'm still available for weddings and bar mitzvahs grin

Don't know if you fancy a quick coffee somewhere before September Greenfinch

grinDeedaa On Thursday next week (15 th) Auntieflo and I are meeting for coffee at Holme Grange at 10.30ish.It would be really nice if you could join us if you are free.

Greenfinch I've just reorganised Thursday so I'm free. Is Holme Grange the one we've been to before?

Greenfinch Wed 07-Jul-21 21:18:32

That's good news Deedaa. Yes the three of us went there last year between lockdowns. It is the craft village on Heathlands Road.See you next week.

Deedaa Wed 07-Jul-21 22:26:56

Lovely! See you then.

Is anyone interested in meeting up in the Wokingham/Crowthorne area towards the end of September? We have been meeting at Holme Grange because of unrestricted parking but we can be flexible. Let me know when you are free if you would like to join us .

Hello everyone. I just joined and would love to make some new friends but of course virtually at this moment in time. I am a Malaysian living here in Reading for the past 5 years. My husband's work takes him all over the globe so it can get lonely at times, especially so when my kids and grandkids are all in Malaysia. Feel free to PM me.

Welcome sweetsharings. I hope you are enjoying Gransnet. We have had meet ups in Reading in the past usually in John Lewis or Patisserie Valerie and hope to do so in the future.Reading is my nearest big town.

Deedaa Fri 12-Nov-21 21:25:35

Hi sweetsharings I live in Bracknell and come to the meetups in Reading and Wokingham.

Deedaa I have sent you a pm.

Are there really no other people in the Reading/Bracknell/Wokingham area who would like to meet up for a coffee? We are quite nice and don't bite!

Greenfinch Tue 23-Nov-21 22:38:10

Do you think it could be because there is no public transport to the garden centre? Perhaps we should think of a different venue next time.

Deedaa Tue 23-Nov-21 23:45:17

It might make a difference, we've had bigger gatherings in Reading haven't we?

Greenfinch Wed 24-Nov-21 12:23:09

That's true. Perhaps we could try Reading again in the New Year. Would anyone be interested?

Greenfinch Thu 02-Dec-21 16:59:08

Just a reminder about our Wokingham meet up on Monday. Do please join us if you can . The details are up thread.

Auntieflo Thu 02-Dec-21 19:08:12

Hi Greenfinch, so sorry, but I will not be able to make the Monday meet up. Another time ?

M0nica Thu 02-Dec-21 19:59:16

I lived in first Bracknell, Crowthorne and then Finchampstead before moving to Reading and then Abingdon area.

I still have friends in that area and go there regularly.

I cannot come to the meeting at Holme Grange, I know the area well, as, sadly Iam attending the funeral of a friend.

However I would like to come to others.

Greenfinch Thu 02-Dec-21 21:19:57

That would be lovely MOnica. We could extend it to lunch as well. They do quite nice paninis and jacket potatoes etc there .
