Anyone want to meet up near Portsmouth? Chichester? Southampton? Or Winchester?

Litterpicker Tue 23-Jan-24 19:36:26

Not Winchester but any of the others is easy for me from where I am in West Sussex. Count me as a possible.

suep1953 Tue 23-Jan-24 19:39:45

Possibly will follow with interest

Living within easy reach of Southampton (and Winchester) I would enjoy meeting other Gransnet members.

PammyHoops Fri 29-Mar-24 14:16:46

I am Portsmouth area so would be happy with any of the areas mentioned depending on dates.

Could do Winchester if no child care that day.!

Sorry for not responding sooner but l have been unwell the ladies from Portsmouth and Waterlooville l would like to meet up.

Just interested in how this would be arranged as I haven't done this before.
Is it just pick a date and those who can attend turn up?
Is someone taking control to arrange the meet up?
Coffee and cake somewhere or lunch?
Shall I float a few dates and see who is available?
August 20th 21st 22nd 23rd?
Portsmouth
Havant
Chichester
Fareham
If we see what is best for the majority, we can move to other venues for another time if it goes to plan?
Happy if anyone else has any other ideas on how to do this or if they want to arrange it.

i'm a noobie here, just joined.. Semi retired and would like to meet up with other members. Did anyone actually meet up or did it just fizzle out ? maybe should make it mandatory (no grandkids!)

dobdo815 Thu 02-Jan-25 17:37:25

duh, i'm in Fareham but happy to meet elsewhere

Nothing really came of the meet up suggestions.
Happy to try again if there's any interest.

Commenting here in case anyone is still interested in meeting up.

Aldom Sun 06-Apr-25 17:28:27

Pammy I've organised several meet ups in Oxfordshire. I just decide on a day, find a venue and then tell everyone. Those who are available let me know so I can book a table for coffee/lunch.

Aldom Sun 06-Apr-25 17:29:57

PS. Most of the organisation is done through private messages once you know who's interested.

Thanks Aldom. I will try a couple of messages to the people who commented.

Hello.

From a post you placed ages ago you said you might be interested in meeting up with others in the area.
If you are still interested, please respond to this message or to the post and I will see about arranging something.
Ideally indicate a couple of dates and where you would like to meet or travel to.

I have sent this to newer people who have posted in the following areas.

Gosport
Fareham
Havant
Waterlooville
Portsmouth

Thanks
Pam
I am in Cosham but have a car and can travel

I gave up trying to arrange a meet up, sorry.
I hope everyone has a good summer.

Terri Sun 03-Aug-25 22:37:50

I didn’t get any response either.

SunshineSally Sun 03-Aug-25 23:54:52

Oh that’s a shame as I’m in Southampton. I didn’t see the original message otherwise I would have responded. I would have loved to have met up 🤗

Elijay Sun 10-Aug-25 08:08:51

Hello, I’m late with a response but not too late I hope. I live in Cosham and would be happy to arrange a casual get together.

There’s free parking in Portchester’s precinct car park and there’s a couple of coffee shops.
