Would anyone be interested in meeting up in Reading in August ?We generally meet in John Lewis or Pat Val but other suggestions would be welcome preferably near the train station.

Thank you for the kind thought Greenfinch, I will look out for the scarf! See you all on the 26th.

Greenfinch Wed 05-Sep-18 14:27:10

Just a reminder that the meet up is three weeks today.I may start another thread about it to avoid confusion as this one is called Reading and we are actually meeting in Bracknell.?

Greenfinch Sun 02-Sep-18 15:34:10

Absolutely Pennyjw.It would be lovely to meet you. I will attach a colourful scarf to my handbag so you will recognise us.

Dear All, I am local to you too - I can't say I contribute a lot to Gransnet but I am an avid reader! I would love to join you. Is that OK?

It would be nice if a few more were able to come as well.
Shall we say Fenwicks at 11 am?

Deedaa Thu 23-Aug-18 17:26:53

Are we all still on for 26th September in Bracknell?

Greenfinch Sat 04-Aug-18 10:19:55

Yes indeed. I will be there if I can remember the way.???

HAZBEEN Sat 04-Aug-18 10:15:18

Count me in! But hopefully I will see at least some of you in Staines on the 16th Aug.

Greenfinch Sat 04-Aug-18 10:11:16

Brilliant.!! That will be four of us at least.
I hope some more will be able to join us.

Auntieflo Sat 04-Aug-18 09:00:30

Me too smile

Deedaa Fri 03-Aug-18 21:14:17

I'll see you then!

Greenfinch Fri 03-Aug-18 17:02:39

Shall we make it 26th September then?

11am in the restaurant in Fenwick's. Bracknell.

Looking forward to seeing everybody then.

Deedaa Thu 02-Aug-18 22:26:26

I've got all those dates free at the moment.

Auntieflo Thu 02-Aug-18 14:06:44

Greenfinch, at the moment, I can make any of the dates given, so fingers crossed. Thanks for co-ordinating all this.

Greenfinch Wed 01-Aug-18 18:26:53

Gabriella I hope you will be able to make the Bracknell meet up.Coming by train you need to change at Wokingham and catch the Waterloo train. Bracknell is the first stop.

HAZBEEN Wed 01-Aug-18 16:49:48

26th Septemberr would be good for me.

Greenfinch Wed 01-Aug-18 13:39:20

I think confusion arose because of the title of the thread which then meandered off into Bracknell. May I suggest that we keep to Bracknell for September and then have another one in Reading in October when one of our visiting overseas GNs may be able to attend.
I suggest Thursday 20th ,Monday 24th or Wednesday 26th September . Are any of these dates suitable?

Mamissimo Mon 30-Jul-18 20:36:17

GabriellaG - I’m very close to you! I went to the last meet up in Staines and I’m hoping to go to the next one on the 16th. I won’t know till nearer the time for definite but I could offer you a lift?

Auntieflo Mon 30-Jul-18 16:33:17

I thought it was going to be Fenwicks in Bracknell? confused. I can do any day except Tuesdays and Fridays. Has the venue been changed to Reading?

GabriellaG Mon 30-Jul-18 13:59:29

Just had a look on Trustpilot cnd Nibseys in Cross Street is 2 minute walk from Reading station and is light and airy with comfy seats and a variety of cakes, cream teas, lunches, coffees teas etc.

GabriellaG Mon 30-Jul-18 13:44:33

I live in Haslemere. grin

GabriellaG Mon 30-Jul-18 13:43:06

I'd like to come if that's ok. There don't seem to be any meetups in Surrey atm.
I can get the train from Guildford to Reading or drive. Dates? I have a couple of theatre dates in August but not till evening.

Deedaa Sun 15-Jul-18 16:24:49

Friday tends to be the one day I can't do.

Greenfinch Fri 13-Jul-18 21:50:07

Oh yes, Fenwicks. That sounds good.I took DGD2 there after Christmas for her to build a bear. It was the first time in all her five years she had been on a bus. Unbelievable !

Would anyone like to suggest a date and a time?
