Anyone in Cambridge/Cambridges hire area for a meet-up?

I'm only half an hour from Cambridge so would be interested.

Me too!

Count me in

When I'm at my Mum's I'm right near by,but no trip planned at present. Will watch this space.

I'm not far and would be interested.

Excellent! Is it easier for people to come into Cambridge city (somewhere like John Lewis's coffee shop), or perhaps a garden centre nearby (with easy parking) Any other ideas? Do we need to avoid school holidays, or will you be able to meet in the first couple of weeks of the school holidays?

I can get to Ely...or March by bus / train..

I can do park & ride, so JL would be fine with me. I'm fine with school holidays, but can't do Tuesdays as we grandson sit that day.

How about Thursday 3 or Friday 4 August in John Lewis's coffee shop in Cambridge? 10:30 or 11:00? Any takers?

Thursdays and Fridays are tricky for me - childcare duties!

I can't do 3rd or 4th I'm afraid as we'll have visitors.

Perhaps we should leave it until September, when the GC are back at school. What day of the week works for each of you?

Yes. August is a bit tricky with comings and goings.

Wednesday is usually a good day for me but I can probably make any day.

Wednesday is usually good for me too. The only day I can't do is Tuesday.

Wednesdays are good for me too.

Count me in. I'm in Cambs.

Thursdays for me

Count me in too. I'd love to meet up.

downtoearth, I could pick you up from Ely station. I'm only 15 mins away or we could get the train into Cambridge from Ely.

Friday is the only day I can do as I look after my granddaughter every other day

Thank you Merlot that would be lovely only dates ...I cannot make are 16th August or 25th August....or 1st September ..looking forward to meeting you all in the flesh ...

It is going to be quite difficult to find a day everyone can make, as people seem to have different commitments on different days! Quite a few of you seem to be able to do a Wednesday. How about we make our first meeting on a Wednesday and, if all goes well, do a different weekday in October or November? How does 11:00 on Wednesday 20 or 27 September suit? We can go with the more popular date. How about John Lewis's cafe in Cambridge?

Sounds good to me. I can do either date, whichever suits most people. Look forward to it.
Do we have to carry a copy of the Times and wear a red rose?

Can do either ..looking forward to it
