We agreed to another meet up in late summer/early autumn so I was thinking of the end of September or beginning of October if that suits everyone . Heathlands Road seems to be closed for several months but that should not prevent us getting to Squires or Holme Grange if that is a preferred venue. Open to suggestions here. What days / dates are preferable/difficult for everyone. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

We shall be a small group meeting tomorrow so please do join us if you can.

Greenfinch Tue 08-Oct-24 19:44:35

Deedaa I am sending you a pm.

Greenfinch Tue 08-Oct-24 17:32:09

Sorry you are not feeling well annodomini. See how you are in the morning but if no better we will see you another time.

Greenfinch et al
I doubt that I will make it to Squires tomorrow, I've acquired a nasty cold from one of my grandsons and have been keeping a low profile today. I'll see how I feel in the morning, but I don't think you all want me coughing and sneezing over the coffee and cakes. I'm really fed up by this turn of events, but c'est la vie, I suppose.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Nooooo, haven't used it yet, as no need to go that way, yet.
As to the Star Lane crossing, I hadn't remembered that, so will have to find another route. 🤞

Greenfinch Thu 03-Oct-24 10:27:16

Have you used it yet Auntieflo? Nobody seems to know who has the right of way. At the junction I will have to negotiate three lots of pedestrian crossings to get to NMR (can’t call them zebras because they are leaves and not stripes!!) Except that if I can go straight across I will miss them all but then I will meet other traffic coming across from the other direction. Best not to think about it. Will your journey be OK as DiL said Star Lane crossing was closed last time she tried to use it?

Auntieflo Thu 03-Oct-24 10:04:09

Oh Greenfinch, lots of luck with the new roundabout.
Be brave!

Greenfinch Thu 03-Oct-24 08:58:43

That’s good Deedaa . Just a gentle reminder of our meet up at Squires a week yesterday (9th)and to extend an invitation to anybody else who would care to join us. You will be more than welcome. I will have to brave the new Cali non roundabout junction ( have you seen it on the national news- total confusion?) as my other route is closed. Looking forward to seeing you all about 10.30 ish.

Deedaa Wed 02-Oct-24 22:27:51

Sorry to hear about your husband Penny. I hope it's something that can easily be sorted out. My week is still looking clear, so hopefully will be along as usual.

Greenfinch Tue 01-Oct-24 16:00:10

Thanks for your message Penny. So sorry you won’t be joining us but these things happen. Sorry also to hear your husband has a medical issue but hope he gets on well at RBH.

Pennyjw Tue 01-Oct-24 12:17:20

Unfortunately, I cannot make our meeting next week. My husband has medical issue so it will be the Royal Berks instead. Fingers crossed for the next meet up - if you dont give up on me! Enjoy yourselves. x

annodomini Wed 04-Sept-24 22:39:34

I've put it on my calendar. Looking forward to meeting you all again.

Deedaa Fri 16-Aug-24 21:22:24

In case any of you are worried (As if) I got the message and I will be coming.

Greenfinch Wed 14-Aug-24 20:24:00

Deedaa I have sent you a pm.

Greenfinch Wed 14-Aug-24 18:54:24

I will send a reminder nearer the time. I haven’t heard from Deedaa who normally comes so I think I will send her a pm in case she hasn’t seen the thread.

Pennyjw Wed 14-Aug-24 08:49:19

Its on my calendar too - look forward to it.

Greenfinch Thu 08-Aug-24 11:36:21

It seems a long time ahead but no doubt it will soon catch up with us. See you there Auntieflo.😊

Auntieflo Thu 08-Aug-24 10:03:42

Thanks Greenfinch, have put it on the calendar.

Greenfinch Wed 07-Aug-24 19:53:13

Would Wednesday 9th October suit everyone? 10.30 at Squires. Everyone welcome. Please join us if you are free.

Pennyjw Tue 06-Aug-24 16:31:10

I would love to see you all again - at the moment any of the suggested dates are fine with me. FYI - Honey Hill is open as an alternative to Heathlands Road currently closed.

Greenfinch Mon 05-Aug-24 16:06:29

Thanks Auntieflo

Auntieflo Mon 05-Aug-24 15:44:30

I would prefer a Wednesday, but will go with the flow.

Greenfinch Mon 05-Aug-24 15:25:10

Bump

Greenfinch Sun 04-Aug-24 12:25:01

Just a few dates to play around with. How about Friday 20th September, Tuesday 1st October or Wednesday 9th October? Are any of these dates suitable?
