Hi anyone in the Lincoln/Grantham area fancy a meet up?

Goosebump Tue 24-Sept-24 13:23:57

Interested - I live in a village close to Grantham. A&R is a good venue, has its own car park and there are 2 public car parks close by. The Lincoln bus stops close to the A&R, a long journey but it does pick up in a lot of villages which might be useful for some people. November 22 would be good for me.

Keeper1 Tue 24-Sept-24 11:52:24

Goosebump great so we just need to decide coffee and sandwich or table in restaurant

November 22 would be good for me. In addition to the A&R car park there are 2 public car parks close to the venue. If travelling by bus there is a bus stop close to the A&R, the Lincoln bus stops there. If you need further details send me a message.

So shall we say 12am no mad rushing that way I am easy either way happy to go with the flow. The coffee and sandwiches was relaxing I wasn't at the first.

11:30 or 12:00 would suit me better because I also travel on a freebie pass and couldn't get into Lincoln with it in time to get to Grantham by 11:00.
As for booking: the first meet I organised, we booked a table in the restaurant. For the second one, we just gathered for coffee and sandwiches in the reception/seating area. What do people prefer?

Keeper1 Tue 24-Sept-24 09:02:18

Forgot to say shall we go for 11am? I am wanting to us my bus pass while we still have them and cannot use until after 9.30 unless you would prefer a later time?

Keeper1 Tue 24-Sept-24 08:58:55

Scribbles do I need to book Lion & Royal?

Kate54 Tue 24-Sept-24 08:43:36

In diary!

Provisionally, 22 November looks okay so please count me in unless something crops up - in which case, I'll let you know.

Keeper1 Mon 23-Sept-24 19:57:40

Shall we say 22nd November?

Cabbie21 Mon 23-Sept-24 17:45:42

At the moment I can do most dates apart from 15th November , but I am waiting for dates of follow up appointments.

Keeper1 Mon 23-Sept-24 13:33:49

So for November can do 12th,15th, 22nd, 24th, 25th

Kate54 Sun 22-Sept-24 08:59:32

Apologies, looks as if mid- October is out. November suggestions: 6th, 7th, 12th, 13th,15th, 22nd, 24-28th

Cabbie21 Sun 22-Sept-24 08:37:44

I will be having my latest Covid jab on 16th. The last one wiped me out for 24 hours!

Kate54 Sun 22-Sept-24 08:37:04

Yes I can easily get to Grantham but not until end Oct/Nov ….. Will submit dates shortly

Cabbie21 Sat 21-Sept-24 22:22:39

I could perhaps manage 17 th.

Keeper1 Sat 21-Sept-24 21:51:37

17th and 18th work for me right now what about Cabbie21 and Kate54?

Scribbles Sat 21-Sept-24 21:47:07

Currently, I could make 4th, 10th, 11th, 17th or 18th October. Do any of those dates suit others?

Keeper1 Sat 21-Sept-24 10:25:41

Hi

Are we going to arrange a date?

Keeper1 Fri 13-Sept-24 12:36:48

The Angel and Royal is very nice so good with me. They am completely booked first week of October so after that fairly open I do have FIL coming to live with us but I have been firm about my having free time so happy to fit round others

Scribbles Fri 13-Sept-24 12:16:25

When? I'm pretty tied up until the week beginning 7 October but am generally available on Thursdays or Fridays after that. Other days are more difficult.

The Angel & Royal at Grantham is very central, close to bus stops and has a (paid) car park. Lunch and bar snacks menu looks ok, too.

But if someone knows something better, I'm easy.🙂

Keeper1 Fri 13-Sept-24 11:26:08

Ok looks like a plan is forming here so we have a where what about a when?

Cabbie21 Fri 13-Sept-24 10:56:22

Yes, I can get by train or car.

Keeper1 Thu 12-Sept-24 23:31:17

Cabbie21 and Kate54 are you able to get to Grantham?

Scribbles Thu 12-Sept-24 22:19:06

I can get to Grantham on a bus so it wouldn't be a problem for me.
