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.

Bit of an update....I am now away from 2nd Sept until the 8th (last minute decision to go away in our caravan) Then 17th September until 27th. So depending on date you arrange, I probably will miss this. Unless it is early October?

NannyJan53 Mon 01-Jul-24 11:10:46

Early September is good for me too. We go away on 17th.

Gymstagran Mon 01-Jul-24 04:42:52

Early September suits me too

Early September it is then, precise day to be decided by the end of August. As it didn’t seem warm enough to wear a dress yesterday I went to a writers’ conference in a warm but slightly scruffy hoodie. Interesting talks about publishing, self publishing, Ebooks, AI, and running writing workshops. Maybe the dress can be worn at bookclub tomorrow!

Any day from the 5th September onwards suits me at the moment.

School holidays are busy with childminding the school children 😬
I shall be ready for a day out once they go back! 😂

Elrel I think you need to wear your new dress 👗

NannyJan53 Thu 27-Jun-24 08:46:16

Sorry I couldn't make it. Hope to make the next one perhaps early August or early September?

Hellobaby1 Thu 27-Jun-24 08:12:21

Good to see you all again yesterday. Enjoy wearing your new dress Elrel.

So good to meet up again and have a chat! Afterwards I intended to go to M&S but was distracted when passing TKMAXX. I hadn’t been in for 4 years, even more packed and chaotic than I remembered and the rails seemed much higher but I still found the kind of warm weather dress I was looking for. Hoping for plenty of opportunities to wear it now!!

V3ra Wed 26-Jun-24 17:20:19

Yes I really enjoyed it!
We covered a lot of topics 😁

Gymstagran Wed 26-Jun-24 17:14:22

Great meet up today, we didn't realise how much time had gone by. Lovely to see everyone

Elrel Wed 26-Jun-24 11:02:01

On my way, very slow bus! Sorry!

V3ra Wed 26-Jun-24 10:51:19

Have just found out DH has booked a trip on the Severn valley railway so unfortunately I will not be able to make it.
Have a great meet up and maybe next time I can finally meet you all.

I shall also also go to Snobs on Broad Street to pick up programmes for Birmingham’s brilliant (and mostly free) Jazz Festival in July.

Gymstagran Mon 24-Jun-24 15:05:08

I will be there

Hellobaby1 Mon 24-Jun-24 07:42:34

Looking forward to seeing you all there😁

NannyJan53 Mon 24-Jun-24 06:57:57

I may be able to make this. My friend may have to cancel our day out. She is waiting confirmation that a plasterer is coming that day.

Elrel Sun 23-Jun-24 23:11:39

I am looking forward to meeting other grans at The Exchange Broad Street at 11am on Wednesday 26th June. It is opposite the Repertory Theatre and Library. The Metro tram heading for Edgbaston Village shops right outside The Exchange.So far it seems that there will be 3 or 4 of us there. Anyone else who would like to join us is most welcome to just turn up. I am small and white haired with a 3 wheel rollator.

monk08 Wed 12-Jun-24 07:25:43

Hopefully I can make it waiting to hear on hospital appointment.

Gymstagran Tue 11-Jun-24 06:32:52

Anyone else free to come along?

Elrel Fri 07-Jun-24 23:59:08

We shall meet on Wednesday 26th June at 11am in The Exchange, Broad Street, Birmingham. The Edgbaston Village bound Metro tram stops right outside the entrance, opposite the big library and the Repertory Theatre. All welcome, we’re looking forward to meeting you.

NannyJan53 Fri 07-Jun-24 15:49:51

That's a shame, I have arranged a day out with a friend for 26th June! Would have looked forward to it. Hopefully I can make the next one.

Gymstagran Fri 07-Jun-24 06:50:36

26th June works for me

V3ra Fri 07-Jun-24 00:24:28

Wednesday 26th June is good for me Elrel 👍
