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.

My arthritis has suddenly become much worse so it’s unlikely I’ll be able to join you on Wednesday. Very sad about that but hope to make in the future.

Looking forward to meeting some of you again, and some for the first time!

Just a reminder, meet up on Wednesday 9th October 11am at the exchange on broad St. Everybody is welcome.

NannyJan53 Sun 29-Sept-24 07:32:08

Look forward to meeting you all again. Will certainly bring a book.

I’d been thinking I had better arrange a date. So pleased that you have already done so, thank you all. I can manage Wednesday 9th too so look forward to seeing everyone.
In October The Exchange has a ‘Book Exchange’ the idea is that you can bring a book you have enjoyed and would like to pass on. In exchange you can take home a book from the shelf. So anyone who has books ready to move on can bring one to our meet-up. A bit like BookCrossing.com but less formalised.

I am very much hoping to make it too

Blinko Wed 18-Sept-24 11:00:03

Oh botheration, already arranged lunch with friends on 9th. Never mind, maybe next time.

monk08 Wed 18-Sept-24 08:06:34

Yes from me also, looking forward to meeting everyone.

Gymstagran Wed 18-Sept-24 07:26:47

Yes from me

V3ra Sat 14-Sept-24 14:15:47

Yes from me.

NannyJan53 Sat 14-Sept-24 11:48:27

So, shall we say Wednesday 9th October, at the usual place? The Exchange, Broad Street, and 11.00am?

Gymstagran Wed 11-Sept-24 06:28:31

It looks like the 9th is favorite

V3ra Tue 10-Sept-24 14:51:29

Wednesday 9th is good for me too.

NannyJan53 Tue 10-Sept-24 14:19:27

9th will be ok for me too!

Gymstagran Tue 10-Sept-24 13:48:08

Hi Blinko ,and all, hope you have seen the thread. Erel It keeps disappearing from active thread. Anyone else like to join us in Birmingham for a meet up, early October. ?

monk08 Tue 10-Sept-24 09:37:14

I can do the 9th.

Gymstagran Tue 10-Sept-24 09:34:00

Bump, trying to keep the thread alive so others can join in.

Gymstagran Mon 09-Sept-24 14:17:37

Sorry, everyone, I seemed to have missed the earlier conversation too. I can do either the 8th or the 9th October

NannyJan53 Mon 09-Sept-24 13:39:41

What about Tuesday 8th or Wednesday 9th October?

NannyJan53 Fri 30-Aug-24 16:35:04

Early October would be ok for me except Thursday 3rd as have Dental Appointment.

Elrel Thu 29-Aug-24 19:02:14

It may be better to leave it for now, early October perhaps better.

Blinko Thu 29-Aug-24 08:31:00

Hi Everyone, for some reason I've missed all this convo about the next meet up. Oh fiddlesticks! I can't make either 4th or 5th September. Next time, maybe.

Elrel Wed 28-Aug-24 17:43:30

Thursday 5th is a possible alternative if it suits more people

V3ra Wed 28-Aug-24 16:05:56

Can't do the 4th as I have an appointment with the dentist ☹️
Can do any day from the 5th onwards.

Elrel Wed 28-Aug-24 12:09:32

Wednesday 4th September at The Exchange Broad Street, 11 o’clock. Does that sound all right? All welcome.
We’ll miss you, NannyJan!
