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!

In my opinion, we could rethink setting dates. I understand wanting to avoid school holidays but in early Sept many people are on holiday having avoided the school holidays.
Nevertheless, it seems that when we set dates in the future, by the time the date comes around, many have other appointments. Obviously, as well, unplanned things arise.
Does anyone else think its worth trying setting dates with short notice say one or two weeks? I just think people might then have more idea of their plans. Let me know your thoughts, just an idea.

Yes, I think that is a good idea suggesting a date a week or two before may be the best. We go away 28th September.

Sorry I only just caught up. Couldn’t have come anyway as I’m not good in this heat. I’ll keep an eye out when temperatures are more normal.
