Good morning everyone. I have just joined and am enjoying reading lots of your "threads" smile do any of you live near Crowthorne/Finchampstead/Sandhurst?

Deedaa I have sent you a pm.

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

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.

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.

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 .

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

Lovely! See you then.

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 20:00:15

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 15:55:09

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.

Auntieflo Tue 06-Jul-21 19:37:17

I am up for a meet up if possible

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

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

Fernbergien Sat 31-Oct-20 13:33:03

Espes tried to PM you but it said you weren’t receiving at moment. I live in Aldershot to. So you could PM me. Or anyone else in this location. Regards to all.

Deedaa Thu 17-Sept-20 20:27:32

Greenfinch pm'd you.

Greenfinch Thu 17-Sept-20 10:38:24

Deeda I have sent you a pm.

Deedaa Sat 05-Sept-20 14:37:12

Now the GSs are back at school (fingers crossed) I am able to think about planning outings. I could certainly drive to meet up with you Greenfinch

Greenfinch Mon 31-Aug-20 17:21:40

Much as it would be lovely to meet up I think it is inadvisable until the restrictions on groups meeting inside are lifted and while the use of public transport remains a problem. As we are a rural group and are widespread geographically it would not seem sensible to suggest an outdoor meeting and then have to cancel it at the last moment because of the weather. If you live near someone and have your own transport you could perhaps suggest meeting in pairs.I only live about 5 miles from Auntieflo so will probably have a coffee with her and Deedaa we could meetup if you are happy to drive.There maybe others who live near one another but let's hope we can all meet up sometime in the not too distant future.

Randa Sun 30-Aug-20 10:17:14

I’m in Woking would love to meet up

WrinklyOldBag Wed 26-Aug-20 00:18:08

Site keeps logging me out when I try to log in here to send u a pm ... Greenfinch can u send me a pm please to see if i can log in easier to read messages (?) "Thank you"

Greenfinch Fri 21-Aug-20 21:26:15

Wringlyoldbag I think I am very near you geographically and like you we have been shielding and don't go out much. I don't do What's App but if you are happy to"chat" by PM I am happy to do so.

WrinklyOldBag Fri 21-Aug-20 20:33:51

I didnt know anything had happened on here but the chances of me escaping these 4 walls to be able to meet up are sadly very slim which is why i joined here to try to find people to chat with...once again "thank u" for ur kind thoughts smile take care

Marydoll Fri 21-Aug-20 19:00:41

WrinklyOldBag, it's sad that we have to do that, but in the event of recent events on here, it's best to be safe than sorry.
However, nothing wrong with doing it, once you have met someone in person at a meet up. Good luck.

WrinklyOldBag Fri 21-Aug-20 18:44:10

Marydoll
Thank you for pointing this out to me...im afraid i judge others as i like to be judged myself (honest/trustworthy) but u r 100% correct

Marydoll Fri 21-Aug-20 00:27:18

WrinklyOldBag, I know you are keen to have social interaction, but please be cautious about giving out your mobile number to anyone on here. Unfortunately, people are not always who they say they are.
