Really! (Bennetts!!!) brilliant place for lunch until it closed!! Not terribly accessible on public transport though.

I'd be up for Derby - I grew up there and DD1 lives in Six Streets.

Hello
Have you ever met up in Derby?

I’m not suggesting it for this time, but in future perhaps.

It’s really lovely around the Cathedral Quarter, and some excellent pubs, nice cafes etc there.
And Bennett’s (the worlds oldest department store) will be reopening soon!

MH is a bit far for me too, but am open to other possibilities. Either somewhere close to a station, or with good parking, as I am reluctant to drive in cities. Newark is good for me.

Has anyone any suggestions for dates or nice places yo eat?

I'm still up for it if date and place are right. Has there ever been a meet in Newark (good train service from Leicester, Nottingham, Doncaster, York, Peterborough, Lincoln. Good road access, too)?
I'd be happy with Lincoln, Newark, Nottingham or Leicester. MH is a bit more of a faff.

Sorry Kitty only just seen this.
I will be interested in a meet up anywhere mentioned is fine with me.

MH would be good for me

I doubt it will be in January, maw. But happy to pick up from a station if needed.

I’d be happy to go to MH as I can do it by train, but not so happy to drive too far especially at this time of year, when it is starting to get dark by 4.30.

I have had the 'heading' of this thread changed as the previous one was headed Leicestershire too.

But the I'm giving up!! grin

Yes I’ll be up for a meet up, depending on where and when.

I am bumping this again as quite a few people expressed an interest at the end of last year!

kittylester Sun 16-Jan-22 11:42:50

Bump

kittylester Sun 16-Jan-22 08:43:10

When this was suggested at the end of last year, I said I would start another thread in the new year.

Here it is.

Who is interested in a get together? Where and when?

Previously we have met in Nottingham, Leicester, Market Harborough near East Midlands airport and possibly other places that I have forgotten but suggestions welcome.
