Fife meet up st Andrews perhaps?

Chewbacca it's because I was actually there and really saw what things were like that I posted what I did.
There are plenty of nice quieter places to go. Lots of nice garden centres and farm shops sort of thing.

Aveline I'm getting the impression you're not terribly enthusiastic or supportive of Elizabeth's planned meet up. Do you not think she has taken the time to research the viability of the area/venue/time/date? And it won't affect you anyway will it as it's too late for you for you to go anyway. Elizabeth seems to be doing a grand job setting it up and those who've confirmed they'll attend seem quite happy.

I was at StAndrews at the weekend. It was jam packed. The chances of a civilised lunch for a group would be virtually nil. The Criterion especially was full up as it serves alcohol from 10am. We were told to avoid it.
Getting to St Andrews poses problems for those without cars and, for those with cars, parking is a headache. I know you want to go there but is there not somewhere more easily accessible?

Got it Grammaretto thank you I’ve replied hope to see you soon unsure If we’ve met please pm me as a reminder

I have sent you a pm

I’ve four names showing an interest in lunch at st Andrews anyone else? Look up the Criterion.

I too am wishing I was nearer- I’m a bit nearer than Charleygirl but only by about 50 miles! But how much I would like to revisit my Alma Mater where Paw and I met and then married in the university chapel 51 years ago. ❤️
Have a lovely time all of you!

I would be happy to come and meet up in St Andrews if it goes ahead.

A few good friends will do I’m not looking for any more than 6 I’ve reassessed the situation and the weather is so unpredictable and I’ll have to scout around for somewhere which will take us inside should we have inclement weather. Fingers crossed you hardy lot. ?

Sounds great I was born and brought up in Fife with St. Andrews being a bus ride away. Unfortunately London is a tad far for me- I do hope sufficient people are interested.

Too far for me too but I hope you can organise a lovely get together.

Ah Elizabeth, i wish I was closer to you because I'd have loved to have come and met you but, as I'm in NW England, it's too far for me to come. I hope your meet up goes ahead and lovely, pleasant people join you.

Elizabeth, lovely to read that you are feeling up to organising a meet up. Something for you to look forward to. Fingers cross that you get enough takers to go ahead!

I’m taking names of up to six people some folks need this number for reassurance I’ve got four names already I now need to discuss a possible date realising this might change depending on government legislation and the tier system how lovely it’ll be to be seeing folks in the flesh again bring it on ????

Please pm me if anyone is interested in going to a Restaurant with outdoor seating for up to 12 if that’s permissible and I’m not jumping the gun I’d be happy to organise something perhaps mid July

Oh so you're organising a garden party? Great!

The maximum number of people who can meet socially outdoors in a private garden or in a public place such as a park or an outdoor area of a café is 12, which can be from up to 12 separate households. This applies to anyone aged 12 or over.

Hope the sun was shiningAveline

Too late. Was there last weekend!
