Hi everyone, shall we try for another meet-up? The Exchange on Broad Street seemed to suit people although the Art Gallery Edwardian Tea Room has now re-opened.
Suggestions of dates welcome, previously it was always a weekday at 11am. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones!

Wednesdays are usually the best day for me. I am away from the 16th June though until 3rd July, so maybe Wednesday 8th or Wednesday15th July? After that it is the school summer holidays.

Do we have a venue decision?
The Exchange on Broad Street?
or
The Art Gallery Edwardian Tea Room?

Sadly I will be unable to make it now, Mum Hearing Aids are not working and she cannot hear at all. So need to go to Spec Savers tomorrow to get this sorted.

As so many can’t make it tomorrow should we postpone the meet-up? Unfortunately a friend has just been discharged from hospital and has asked me to go and see her tomorrow. Sorry this is such late notice that I can’t make it either 🙄

Join us at the Exeter meet-up?! 😆
We're low on numbers this time, but we're going ahead.

Nice Idea Martav/Taurus but the way the trains were performing, or not performing, yesterday and the promised heat with likely train aircon breakdowns would suggest not

Perhaps a meeting early September as it will be the Schools 6 weeks holiday soon?
