Just wondering if there's anyone in the sort of Canterbury/Folkestone/Thanet triangle who might be up for a meet up?

Happy to try and arrange if anyone is interested.

Hi ferry- I'm in Thanet.

BevSec Tue 24-Sept-24 20:07:53

Hi ferry, I am in Whitstable

Well, that's 3 of us grin.

Let's see what the next few days brings.

Am in West Malling but was born in Whitstable and married there and my husband is from Thanet! Would love to make contact if able to join you?!

I'm laid up with a bad back atm but iwould be interested. I live in Canterbury

Happy to travel to Canterbury or Whitstable on the train if that works for people.
I'm in Thanet.

Hi Ferry, not sure if you have arranged anything yet but I’d love to join. I live in Biddenden but currently spending a lot of time driving backwards and forwards to Birchington as I’m selling my parents house. Would be lovely to combine some trips with coffee and a chat with new faces 😀

Sorry everyone, I've been dealing with a gas leak and then a new boiler - happy days!

Canterbury probably looks to be promising. I must admit I haven't been into the City centre for ages, so I'm not sure where might be a good meeting place. Or maybe somewhere outside the centre might be easier - all suggestions welcome smile

Morning Ferry...I live near Tenterden and would be happy to come to Canterbury...Fenwicks has a large restaurant??

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 17-Nov-24 14:14:07

Canterbury Fenwicks would work for me. I will travel by train, so anything else in the middle would be fine.
Do we have any thoughts over days? I am tied to volunteering and childcare on Mondays and Wednesdays but could do any other days.

NannyG4 Sun 17-Nov-24 22:59:29

Thursday/ Friday would suit me best……..

Hogie Tue 19-Nov-24 13:56:10

I have grandchildren on a Monday but would be happy to do any other day, Fenwicks Canterbury works for me. I’m a newbie on here is there a way to get alerts on this thread or do we just have to keep checking?

sweetpea Wed 20-Nov-24 19:19:27

Hi all, I am in West Malling so could come by train or get OH to drop me (am currently on crutches so no driving!). Fenwicks sounds good, Thursday or Friday would be good depending on daughter’s shift pattern (she works in A and E). Look forward to, hopefully, meeting up.

NannyG4 Fri 22-Nov-24 16:19:56

Thursday or Friday suits me, do you think after Christmas would work? … Fenwicks….Canterbury….
Hopefully we can arrange something between us x

Chocolatelovinggran Fri 22-Nov-24 16:35:16

Sounds good to me. Looking forward to meeting GNetters IRL!

Graceless Fri 22-Nov-24 16:50:46

Hope to be able to join you. I'm trying to walk a little further ever day.

NannyG4 Mon 09-Dec-24 16:58:17

Perhaps we can meet in the New Year??

Chocolatelovinggran Mon 09-Dec-24 18:42:16

I look forward to it!

sweetpea Fri 13-Dec-24 09:55:34

Count me in (please)!

BevSec Fri 13-Dec-24 09:59:09

Me too for fenwick

NannyG4 Sat 14-Dec-24 17:09:36

Brilliant numbers growing……..☕️🍰

ferry23 Sat 14-Dec-24 17:58:21

Fenwicks is good. Maybe beginning of Feb when it's lighter for a bit longer and February is usually a pretty non eventful month.

sweetpea Fri 02-May-25 20:58:32

Is everyone still interested in this, if so shall we try and get together?

Chocolatelovinggran Sat 03-May-25 08:06:13

Yes - count me in
