Had a lovely first meet up this afternoon with Daisymay1, we are planning another, probably next month, so do join in if you are nearby and fancy joining us for a coffee or lunch.

Where were you thinking of having it, Katey?

Kateykrunch Wed 09-Jan-19 17:43:37

Today we met at a Garden Centre in Cawthorne, a lovely little village near Barnsley, but we will be open to suggestions, where are you?

Maggiemaybe Wed 09-Jan-19 18:36:30

I'm over in West Yorkshire (Calderdale). Also not free most days, so I wouldn't want the venue to be influenced by me! I'll keep an eye on the thread, though, and see what you end up with, and if I can make it.

Cawthorne is lovely. Havnt been there in years.

Greyduster Wed 09-Jan-19 19:15:42

Is that the garden centre at Cannon Hall, Katey?

Jessity Wed 09-Jan-19 19:24:48

I’m interested too, South Yorkshire so Cawthorne is OK for me.

Katey ,
Great to see so many responses . It was lovey to meet you today . Look forward to some more of you joining us . I am near Holmfirth Maggiemaybe so not to far from Calderdale .

Lovely to hear from some of the Yorkshire GN’s, we will look to arrange something in February and both Daisy and myself are happy to travel so it could be a moveable feast, so in the meantime watch this space and any suggestions would be great x

Kateykrunch Thu 10-Jan-19 10:20:52

Yes, Greyduster, it was Cannon Hall Garden Centre which is just opposite Cannon Hall in Cawthorne, hope you might join us for the next meetup x

Greyduster Thu 10-Jan-19 11:16:04

I’ll keep an eye on the thread - and the weather. We are about half an hour down the road.

Jessity Thu 10-Jan-19 13:56:43

Straightforward trip for me via A61/M1. Will keep watching the thread for more news.

Pagzy Thu 10-Jan-19 16:37:36

How exciting that's 2 people near me! I'm from Calderdale and this is the first I've heard of anyone on GN in my area. I will watch this thread with interest but I don't drive so it may all be in vain!

Hi everyone of you Yorkshire peeps ?, any dates/times suit you for a meet up in February? (Tuesday or Thursday good for me), Cannon Hall Garden Centre was lovely but noisy, so ideas for where to meet will be useful as well. I might pm you all in case you dont look on the thread again x

Daisymay1 Tue 22-Jan-19 10:00:07

Hello Kateykrunch good to hear from you again . I can’t do Thursdays ,but am available all Tuesdays but the 12th . Meeting for lunch or coffee would be good. Has anyone else got any suggestions of a place to meet ? ?

Reported!

Graso Tue 29-Jan-19 13:12:00

I’d be interested in meeting. Currently near M1 junction 31 (South Yorks)
Difficult to think of a good central meeting point, I drive so no problem for me but I appreciate that not everyone does. Would the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield be of any use? Although I’m not sure if there’s public transport. There is a nice cafe/restaurant, interesting exhibitions and entry is free although parking charges are high. Just a thought ?
I’m pretty flexible re. dates and times. Look forward to hearing more!

Kateykrunch Tue 29-Jan-19 13:40:22

Hello Graso, welcome to our little Yorkshire group! The Sculpture Park is a really good suggestion, parking is expensive there (well was last time I went, will check). We will set a date and time soon, watch this space lol.

Neti Sun 03-Feb-19 12:57:23

Hi Maggiemaybe.
There's an existing group in Calderdale and has it's own website.
The groups' based in Tod as far as I remember.

Kateykrunch Sun 03-Feb-19 15:34:37

Hi you Yorkshire GN’s. We are planning Tuesday 26th February for our 2nd Meetup. We suggest Cannon Hall Garden Centre again at 11.30 am (Yorkshire Sculpture Park is a great suggestion but quite expensive for parking, so we can keep that for another time when we can car share to park).
Again, I’ll private message you all in case you are not following this thread. Just reply so we know whos coming and for any directions and descriptions lol. All the best, Katey

Daisymay1 Sun 03-Feb-19 17:46:39

Hi Katey
That’s great I will look forward to meeting you again. I hope that some of you lovely ladies will be able to join us ,be great to get a group of us meeting up .
Best wishes to you all ?

Jessity Sun 03-Feb-19 19:44:02

Hi Katey
Please count me in and I’ll look forward to meeting you all.

Graso Sun 03-Feb-19 20:34:08

Me too!

Kateykrunch Sun 03-Feb-19 22:13:38

Fabulous!, will keep in touch, if there are anymore who would like to join us, just say, Greyduster is going to try to come as well x
