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.

Hope you had a good meetup, and hope I’ll be able to come next time. Happy Christmas, all!

Regarding making meet up threads known. I think the next meet up should be on a new thread, as anyone clicking on 'Meet up in Birmingham' would see it started over a year ago, (ie June 2024) and assume it is long over?

So pleased you had a good meet up with some new faces. I am starting to feel human again today! We must arrange another one soon, maybe March/April?

Thank you for your friendly welcome, I did enjoy meeting up.

It was good to meet you, Gymsta as well as our two new members, MaryLouise and Wishes. As a small group, we found we were able to have a jolly good chinwag. Amongst other things, we all expressed some concern that these posts only remain 'current' for a very short time (before other subjects take precedence) and we wondered how best to publicize ourselves and dates of meetings...

Hope to see more old (and new) faces next time.

It was lovely to meet two new people and a regular, of course. Lots to talk about and discussion on how to encourage more to meet with us next time.

So sorry I will have to back out today, started a cold yesterday and woke up this morning feeling even worse. Was looking forward to this, especially as I started the ball rolling. Hope you all enjoy the meet up. Hope to make the next one
