I really enjoyed our meet ups before Covid. At present I’m not getting out enough. Sadly John Lewis is no longer in Brum, gone, scones and all.
Please post if you are interested in a coffee or lunch meet up. I would love to meet old friends and make new ones. Nonnie, Tegan, Blinko, Hellobaby, I hope we’ll meet again - soon.

Blinko Mon 14-Apr-25 17:03:00

So that seems to be Gymsta, HelloBaby1, Granny Beek and me? Are we all still ok fir Wednesday, then?

Hellobaby1 Tue 15-Apr-25 08:03:44

Sorry , not going to be able to make 16th after all, woken up with swollen glands and sore throat. Apologies😔

Blinko Tue 15-Apr-25 09:21:21

Sorry you're poorly, Hellobaby1. How's everyone else?

Blinko Tue 15-Apr-25 09:31:24

Just wondering if maybe more people could make next week, 23rd? I know GrannyBeek would prefer, for a start? What do we think?

Gymstagran Tue 15-Apr-25 13:37:57

I can't make the 23rd but ok with deferring the meet up as there would be so few of us

Blinko Tue 15-Apr-25 13:51:50

Perhaps try a date in May?

Gymstagran Tue 15-Apr-25 14:42:43

That's a good idea i would be time limited this week as I'm looking after a dog

Blinko Tue 15-Apr-25 15:12:11

I’ll pm Granny Beek.

GrannyBeek Wed 16-Apr-25 23:56:14

Thanks for the message. Sorry haven’t been here for a while. Is it definitely next week? Hope so!

Blinko Thu 17-Apr-25 05:11:43

Hi there, GB. We're thinking best to postpone to next month as so few have shown interest this time. No date set as yet.

GrannyBeek Wed 23-Apr-25 07:34:58

Dates in May are currently all good for me.

MaryLouiseYorkshire Thu 21-Aug-25 22:28:18

I'd love to meet up in Brum. Coffee, walk, visit, whatever anyone wants.

MaryLouiseYorkshire Fri 22-Aug-25 07:43:14

New to the site so not sure how everything regarding g meeting up works

MaryLouiseYorkshire Fri 22-Aug-25 07:44:12

I'd love to meet some new people in Brum. How does it all work?

Hello MaryLouise

Usually, someone suggests and date and time, then people will come on and confirm if they can make that date.

Then we usually meet in The Exchange which is right by a Metro stop and opposite the Library,

I suggest Tuesday 14th or Wednesday 15th of October at 11am

Elrel Mon 08-Sept-25 11:07:27

Just came on to see what is happening. Interested in meeting up again at The Exchange.

Gymstagran Tue 16-Sept-25 06:11:13

At the moment the 14th oct is a better date for me

GrannyBeek Thu 18-Sept-25 09:38:37

15th would be better for me as I run a food bank every Tuesday. The very best day for me is always a Friday (only day with no regular commitments. I should go back to work, then any day would be possible, taking annual leave!).

NannyJan53 Sun 21-Sept-25 10:44:19

Unfortunately I cannot make 14th Oct now as my friend and I have booked a trip that day.

Could do Wednesday 15th or Tuesday 21st, Wednesday 22nd, or Friday 17th.

Hellobaby1 Thu 02-Oct-25 10:03:21

The 14th or 21st would be best for me

NannyJan53 Mon 06-Oct-25 10:25:16

I cannot do the 21st now as I have a funeral to attend. Maybe perhaps look at a dates in November now?

Blinko Mon 13-Oct-25 15:11:47

Oh, I’m glad I looked. I couldn’t make tomorrow anyway. November looks better for me. It would be good to see you all (who can make it) again.

MaryLouiseYorkshire Mon 13-Oct-25 22:38:19

Mondays Tuesdays good days for me, Exchange cafe is great.

MaryLouiseYorkshire Mon 13-Oct-25 22:39:19

Fridays if I know a couple of weeks beforehand.

NannyJan53 Tue 21-Oct-25 09:17:30

I can make Wednesday 19th November.
