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

I hope life opp North is good for you FriedGreenTomstoes2
Navy is still bobbing along in Portsmouth. I love to see the ships coming and going.

Thanks Ruthless. I will see if there is any more interest over the next week or so.

I was born in Portsmouth PH (70 years ago) as my dad was in the Royal Navy. Too far me now, I’ve been ‘oop North’ since I was two 😁 but I hope you get good response to your invitation this summer!

Well done PH for trying again to arrange a meet up for central south Hampshire basically.
I live between Winchester and Southampton so no trouble to drive to Fareham or Portsmouth - if the latter I’d make use of the Park & Ride as unfamiliar with easy access parking in Portsmouth.
🤞 that more folk are interested now.

Hi, Summer is on its way.
There was a little bit of uptake last year but no meet up happened to my knowledge.
Is it worth trying again?
Anyone interested in a coffee morning meet up?
Portsmouth
Southsea
Gosport
Fareham

I’ll be going to Tenerife South in November is there anyone else going? I met a lovely lady from England there a few years ago and we still meet up from time to time we have a good long chat while having fun in the sun.

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.

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 🤗

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

I didn’t get any response either.

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

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

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

oops.
I meant to put that in a message.

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.

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.

PammyHoops Sun 06-Apr-25 17:09:21

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

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!)

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

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

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

Havant
August 20th,21st,23rd

PammyHoops Thu 25-Jul-24 20:03:10

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.

Terri Fri 19-Jul-24 08:08:28

Tink75 Fri 29-Mar-24 14:21:47
