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.

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

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 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!

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 Thu 05-Oct-23 10:21:25

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

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!

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.

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.

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

See you all on Thursday 🤞

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

Greenfinch Thu 28-Sept-23 12:32:25

Just a gentle reminder of our meet up in a week’s time at 10.30 or thereabouts at Squires Garden Centre in Heathlands Road. We are about 6 at the moment but any others will be most welcome.

Hi Wolwol, I hadn’t noticed your reply on here. So glad you can join us . I will reply to your PM tomorrow.

Wolwol Wed 20-Sept-23 15:50:21

Thanks, Greenfinch, I hope to manage this too 😊

Greenfinch Sat 09-Sept-23 17:00:15

Is that OK for you annodomini?

Pennyjw Sat 09-Sept-23 14:08:08

Lovely, look forward to seeing everyone.

Deedaa Fri 08-Sept-23 22:22:55

Hopefully see you all there.

Greenfinch Fri 08-Sept-23 10:55:07

That’s great Auntieflo but we understand if you have to pull out .(I hope you don’t though)

Auntieflo Fri 08-Sept-23 10:34:53

Will try and make it. Thursdays are usually good for me.
Thanks Greenfinch for organising the meet-up.

Greenfinch Fri 08-Sept-23 09:49:51

Shall we settle on Thursday 5 October 10.30am at Squires Garden Centre ?. It would be lovely to see a few more at our gathering. Everyone welcome. Let me know if you are unsure of where Squires is.

Pennyjw Thu 07-Sept-23 14:32:54

Thursday 5 October would be good for me.

Deedaa Wed 06-Sept-23 20:58:24

Thursday 5th October would be better for me as there is a U3A meeting on 28th September.

Greenfinch Wed 06-Sept-23 09:22:40

Thanks Deedaa. Shall we say either Thursday 28 th September or Thursday 5th October ?My personal preference is for the latter but either OK for me.

Deedaa Tue 05-Sept-23 20:12:11

Thursday is the best day for me, Tuesday and Friday are OK. September or October are fine.

Greenfinch Tue 05-Sept-23 19:28:03

I will suggest some dates hopefully tomorrow when I have found my diary!!

Pennyjw Tue 05-Sept-23 16:14:21

I should be around most of the time so hopefully can fit in with you all.
