It seems a long time ago since we last met.Is anyone up for meeting for coffee in September or October? We could go to the usual place (Holme Grange) where the coffee machine is rather noisy (!) or to Squires garden centre just up the road from there. Both places have plenty of parking. Anyway, let me know your thoughts.
If anyone finds driving difficult we could have another/alternative meeting in Reading.

Thank you for the reminder Greenfinch, I look forward to seeing you all.

Auntieflo Tue 03-Oct-23 19:11:25

See you all on Thursday 🤞

Greenfinch Wed 04-Oct-23 10:55:46

Thanks Auntieflo.Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at Squires Garden Centre round about 10.30 ish. For me it will be a welcome few hours between my Covid jab this afternoon (I think that is at you local pharmacy Auntieflo) and the flu one tomorrow afternoon.

Looking forward to seeing you all later at Squires. I have reserved a table for 10.30 in the name of Lloyd( not my real name!) in case you arrive before me. See you there.

Too late! I have somehow managed to miss this thread until now when I should be at Squires. So sorry. I would have enjoyed meeting you all again. I will be keeping an eye on the forum from now on. I hope you have a good meet-up.
Mea culpa!

Greenfinch Thu 05-Oct-23 10:21:25

There is still time to join us. Doesn’t matter if you are late.

Deedaa Thu 05-Oct-23 20:23:18

That was a good morning wasn't it? Couldn't believe how quickly the time went!

Greenfinch Fri 06-Oct-23 09:21:20

Yes I very much enjoyed meeting up as well yesterday and Squires was certainly calmer than Holme Grange even if we did have to pay up front! We must try not to leave it so long next time!

Auntieflo Fri 06-Oct-23 09:42:50

Thank you Greenfinch for organising the meet up.
Enjoyed it very much, and can't believe that it is over a year since our last one!

Greenfinch Fri 06-Oct-23 13:01:39

My memory fails me Auntieflo but surely it’s not that long. Didn’t we meet in June?

Greenfinch Fri 19-Apr-24 12:55:58

I think it is about time we began thinking about another meet up. It is always difficult finding a date to suit everyone so I thought if we started now for a date and venue in early June that might be helpful. Any suggestions? We usually meet in Wokingham/Crowthorne but we could consider elsewhere if there is a need. Let me know your thoughts.

Deedaa Sat 20-Apr-24 22:56:31

Good thinking Greenfinch At the moment Mondays would be difficult for me but apart from that June seems fairly quiet at the moment.

Greenfinch Sun 21-Apr-24 09:50:31

Nice to hear from you Deedaa. Mondays are difficult for me too. We can’t compete with the Glesca Grannies for numbers but hopefully half a dozen of us can get together for chat and a cuppa.

annodomini Sun 21-Apr-24 10:45:12

I'd love to meet up. Mondays aren't great, but at a pinch I could probably manage that. Crowthorne/ Wokingham - perfect for me but have car, will travel! And I'll try to be on time and on the right day.

Greenfinch Sun 21-Apr-24 10:52:04

Greenfinch Tue 23-Apr-24 15:50:57

Pennyjw hopes to come and should be able to fit in with any plans. So far we have just excluded Mondays.

Pennyjw Wed 24-Apr-24 18:50:51

Thanks for the pm Greenfinch, I would love to see you all again. Has anyone tried The Hive near Crowthorne Station? It may not be convenient for everyone but I am going early May and will report back!!

Greenfinch Wed 24-Apr-24 19:47:37

That’s very interesting Penny. I have never heard of it . Please report back especially about parking as that is a key factor.

annodomini Wed 24-Apr-24 22:36:41

I haven't heard about The Hive but Crowthorne Station isn't far away. I might take a look if I'm passing that way.

Greenfinch Sat 27-Apr-24 14:56:34

Shall we think about a date so that we can keep it free. Randomly may I suggest one of the following dates in June.
Thursday 6th
Wednesday 12th
Tuesday 18th

Deedaa Sun 28-Apr-24 20:24:11

Thursday 6th and Tuesday 18th would be best for me.

Greenfinch Sun 28-Apr-24 21:17:33

Thanks Deedaa. Are either of these dates suitable for others?

Auntieflo Mon 29-Apr-24 08:50:46

Hi Greenfinch, preferably Thursday 6th for me, all being well!

annodomini Mon 29-Apr-24 09:53:55

Thursday 6th and Tuesday 18th are fine for me but I could fit in Wednesday 12th,

Greenfinch Mon 29-Apr-24 14:47:29

Thanks all. Shall we tentatively decide on Thursday 6th June? I think that will be OK with Penny. I have sent a PM to wolwol but she has not replied. Does anyone know if she is still a member of Gransnet?
