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.

Yes from me.

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

Yes from me

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

Yes from me also, looking forward to meeting everyone.

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

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

Hellobaby1 Thu 19-Sept-24 08:20:59

I am very much hoping to make it too

Elrel Sat 21-Sept-24 18:56:59

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.

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

Gymstagran Mon 07-Oct-24 07:29:08

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

NannyJan53 Mon 07-Oct-24 08:18:18

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

Elrel Mon 07-Oct-24 23:28:46

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.

V3ra Mon 07-Oct-24 23:43:21

Oh that's a real shame Elrel, we'll miss you ☹️
Is it the colder weather aggravating it?

Gymstagran Tue 08-Oct-24 12:08:47

That's a shame Elrel I hope you feel better soon

NannyJan53 Tue 08-Oct-24 13:38:30

Sorry to hear that Elrel I hope it eases off soon.

Elrel Wed 09-Oct-24 00:16:28

Thank you, I’m sad not to be seeing you too. Phoned for an appointment today and got one with a very helpful competent paramedic. He changed paracetamol for something stronger and I have an appointment next week with the physio team.

V3ra Wed 09-Oct-24 00:22:57

So nice to hear you're being well looked after Elrel 🥰

Hellobaby1 Wed 09-Oct-24 08:38:16

Hope to see you next time Elrel, you will be missed today

Hi, sorry to say, I have only just seen this thread, it wasn't showing in recent weeks. Bit short notice for today, sadly, but next time, so long as its on the thread and highlighted, I will endeavour to join you all. Have a lovely time, my dear brummie friends.

V3ra Wed 09-Oct-24 10:44:07

Here at our usual table ladies, at the back on the left 🙂

monk08 Wed 09-Oct-24 14:52:04

Nice to have met you all ladies look forward to doing it again.

Gymstagran Wed 09-Oct-24 16:02:49

A good couple of hours chatting about lots of different topics. Lovely to see you all.

NannyJan53 Wed 09-Oct-24 16:03:47

Good to meet everyone, the time flew by. Looking forward to the next one.

Hellobaby1 Wed 09-Oct-24 20:59:52

Let’s make it before Xmas!

Keep an eye open for threads on the “Meet-ups” forum!

Haven’t looked at the meetup thread for a long time. I went to a couple at John Lewis before Covid. Lovely to see they’ve started up again. Hope I can make the next one.

I would like to meet up but cannot on Monday or Tuesdays. Can get to Lichfield or Tamworth, anywhere on the northern side. I'm not so keen on Birmingham now but would go for a meet up.
