MOnica and I are planning to meet on 21st October in St Neots, any one else interested?

Time and venue to be decided.

Aldom Tue 09-Sept-25 07:44:49

Just to say, have a lovely time with MOnica. I miss her. smile

Harmony47 Tue 09-Sept-25 19:19:26

I would like to come, I'm in Peterborough so will come on the train. Thank you for organising

Sillymoo Tue 09-Sept-25 20:46:29

Great. Perhaps MOnica could scout out a meeting place? I'll be coming on the bus from Bedford.

Sillymoo Thu 02-Oct-25 16:40:13

MOnica has suggested
we meet at a coffee shop called 'Esquire' it is in the High Street just up from the square on the same side as Iceland and M&S Food.

I am going to check my bus times and suggest Harmony47 looks up train times then we can decide on a time and means of identification!

If anyone else would like to join us feel free.

Sillymoo Thu 02-Oct-25 17:45:44

My buses get in at 15 minutes past the hour.

Harmony47 Fri 03-Oct-25 14:13:25

My trains get in at 10mins to or 20mins past the hour

Great, thanks Monica- I would like to join you in principle. I've just had an Ultra sound scan which showed 2 issues of concern- and now GP has made further specialist referrals/invetigations to check level of concern, treatment indicated etc . So a bit up in the air at the moment.... Can I confirm nearer the time?

LemonJam Fri 03-Oct-25 15:03:54

Monica and Sillymoo- sorry missed the joint message aspect.

Sillymoo Sat 04-Oct-25 10:45:16

My bus will go into town centre but not sure how long the walk from station is Harmony47? Hope you can make it LemonJam and yes confirm nearer the time.

M0nica Sat 04-Oct-25 11:06:33

Aldom, Thank you, Yes, I miss our coffee meet-ups at Wantage Museum cofee shop. smile

LemonJam Sat 04-Oct-25 14:23:18

Thank you Sillymoo- will do 😊

TreasureKeeper2014 Mon 06-Oct-25 12:22:51

Hello, I’m a newbie. May I join your meet-up please?

Harmony47 Mon 06-Oct-25 13:49:58

I don't think the walk from the station is too far. Has a time been agreed?

Sillymoo Mon 06-Oct-25 14:16:50

Yes of course TreasureKeeper2014 where are you travelling from?

How about 10.30 or 11.30?

M0nica Mon 06-Oct-25 16:05:12

I don't think the walk from the station is too far. Has a time been agreed?

It is about a mile straight down Cambridge Street.

I understand the station doesn't have a taxi rank, you are meant to use an app and order one to meet the train.

I have not lived here long enough to know whether the system works.

Positivegran Tue 07-Oct-25 12:10:52

Would also like to join you please.

Sillymoo Tue 07-Oct-25 12:28:07

So far we have
Silly moo [Bedford]
MOnica [StNeots]
Harmony47 [Peterborough]
LemonJam (a possible)
Treasurekeeper2014
Positivegran (welcome)

Am wondering if we should book a table and if so what time? 10.30, 11.00 or 11.30?

Harmony47 Tue 07-Oct-25 18:29:13

Thank you Sillymoo for organising. I would prefer 11 or 11.30.
It would probably be a good idea to book a table as the group has got a bit bigger.

Sillymoo Tue 07-Oct-25 19:00:57

I would prefer 10.30 or 11.30 as bus gets at 15 minutes past

M0nica Tue 07-Oct-25 19:56:33

I am so close to the venue that I can fit in with any time.

I am happy to get there early and grab a table, coffee shops do not usually do reservations. i have offered to wear a red tunic top so as to be instantly recognisable.

Sillymoo Wed 08-Oct-25 09:57:00

Anyone have trouble with 11.30?

Will try to find something red!

Positivegran Wed 08-Oct-25 10:11:01

11.30 fine for me.

TreasureKeeper2014 Wed 08-Oct-25 13:42:21

Regret I’m now unable to attend due to family issues.

M0nica Wed 08-Oct-25 15:21:52

11.30 will be fine for me. I am willing to be there at 11.15 to grab a table and be visible to others attending.
