Good morning. Are there any of the above? I can get to London fairly easily but currently still working.

We are tentatively planning for a meet up end Jan/Feb.

We will look for somewhere more central so hopefully more will be able to come along.

The tubes appear to have packed up daily. I also think it is too cold to be hanging around bus stops and tubes. I do not intend to go far until Spring, especially as one cannot park in London.

Did you find people friendly, or just the same as those from elsewhere?
If you don't mind answering, of course.

Just asking out of sheer nosiness.

Used to live in Hadleigh, Westcliff on sea and Leigh on sea, not forgetting Canvey island. I do miss it.

Hello ladies. I’m afraid I won’t be able to come on the 12th. My new GS was born on the 18th October and my SIL will be going back to work that week, therefore I will be having ny older GS that day.

Have a lovely time and hopefully see you at the next one!

Westcliff is a bit far for me but I hope to see some of you at Colchester some time

I can’t do either dates sadly, but would love to meet up somewhere in the Spring next year, if anyone up for it??

Okey Dokey, as Tgran can only make Tuesdays and Sar53 (who initiated the Southend meet-ups many moons ago) cannot make 5/11. I have moved into the following week.

Tuesday 12th November, 12pm, The Estuary, (The Arches, Westcliff-on-Sea, on the seafront)

Hello Loopylou. I live in Brentwood so I can pretty much get anywhere. However I work still, but have Tuesdays off. DD is due her 2nd child in the next couple of weeks but I’m sure I’ll be able to make the 5th November😊

Choice of dates

Tuesday 5th November

Thursday 7th November

Suggested area Southend as it is on two train lines (Greater Anglia and C2C), bus routes and plentiful parking.

Please indicate your preferred day, the one with the most likes will be the meet up 🙋‍♀️😘

Before Debenhams closed in Oxford Street we used to have good meetings there. John Lewis is the nearest for coffees to my knowledge.

I'm up for meeting somewhere on the Greater Anglia line.
We meet every Wednesday morning in Colchester.

I will brave the dreaded A12 and make your Wednesday meet up one week.

Hopefully someone will want to join me in the car.

As you said Essex or London, would Stratford be any use?

loopyloo Fri 04-Oct-24 08:05:52

Tgran, could meet in London. Which station would you be coming in to.
