We're probably one of the largest counties in the land, all 1.6 million acres, so meeting up might be a bit of a challenge.
But if we start with suggestions of Exeter, or maybe Tiverton if that's better for North Devon people, or Teignbridge, does anyone fancy a Devon meet up?
Early July before the summer gets properly underway. ๐ŸŒž

Thank you.
We had an enjoyable and interesting chat over coffee this morning at Darts.
Hopefully, next time round, after the summer holidays, other Devon GNs (and Somerset), might be able to come along too.

PS of course, the obligatory shopping spree afterwards!

Yes, it was lovely to meet up and chat - hope the shopping was good! Look forward to next time

I live in Torquay but am in France until 20th July. I will look out for future gatherings. Hope it goes well today. ๐Ÿ˜€

Morning. As much as I would like to, Iโ€™m unable to meet this time, maybe next meet-up?
For those of you who are going, enjoy. And if youโ€™ve not been to Darts before, be prepared to spend. Lots of lovely things there and a fantastic farm shop.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 8th at Darts.
Nice and early 9.45 am onwards to avoid the increasing heat.
See you there if you can make it.

Iโ€™ll be there, look forward to seeing you!

Hi. Sorry can't make that venue or that time tomorrow I'm afraid. Perhaps at a future date if one is organised and my home circumstances change.

How are we all feeling about Wednesday next week? The temperature in Exeter will apparently rise to around 28ยฐ that day.
We could make an earlier start, (10am) or change venue to The Boathouse Creperie by the water in Topsham??

Which day did you decide on? I'm in Wellington just over the border...Am I allowed to gatecrash into a Devon meet up?

Of course, anyone from far and wide!

MartavTaurus Fri 12-Jun-26 08:46:26

Bonjour!
I think Wednesday July 8th is good for everyone.
I'm in France until the beginning of July, but will try to keep on top of this one thread.

As you will see, I am a male (a rare animal on here!). I rarely post, but would maybe like to meet up at some point. I have advertised similarly before, with very little response. I am in Dawlish but able to travel a reasonable distance if needs be. I like the idea of Dart's Farm. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š

GrandmaRosie Fri 15-May-26 10:06:03

Hello, yes, would definitely be interested and happy to travel within Devon

MartavTaurus Fri 15-May-26 07:56:18

Keeping this open. Any others?
Maybe Darts Farm is a possible venue?

Sillydilly Fri 15-May-26 07:15:39

Hello. Iโ€™m in East Devon and would be interested.

grambeeb Wed 06-May-26 20:28:01

Hello. I am in Devon near Exeter and would be interested in a get together. I will see if I can send you a pm.
Best wishes

MartavTaurus Mon 04-May-26 22:01:54

Thanks for your pm, S.

IF anyone on here is in contact with CariadAgain , please can they let us know. Apparently she was from Exeter and was keen to revisit for a meet-up.
