Reading meetup

Hi it's me coming by train! I can always cab it if it is not too far from the station!

If it's central Reading I shall get the train, but I would probably drive to Waitrose. (My husband used to be one of their drivers so will give me more directions than I can possibly compute!)

I've looked up Waitrose and it would appear to be about a mile and a half from Reading West station which has steep steps if mobility is a problem.Noodles knows the area better than I do and will put me right if necessary.

I would still plump for central Reading especially if coming by train and then anyone wanting to combine their visit with a trip to the shops (not me !)would find it easier. I will be coming by bus so either option is OK for me. Last time we went to John Lewis and that was fine. From the train station you need to keep walking straight on towards the shops and you will come to John Lewis. Not far--about 5-10 mins. walk. Does anyone have any other ideas ?

There are certainly plenty of coffee shops and the like. I'm quite happy with John Lewis myself.

Happy to find my way to JL if that is what the decision is.

Parking in the Oracle is easy and only a short walk to John Lewis.

Looking forward to meeting you all. Roll on September.

Just to confirm then, it seems the general consensus is for the restaurant in John Lewis on Thursday 5th September at 10.30. Looking forward to meeting everybody then. Hopefully it will be noodles, Deedaa, nanaej myself and possibly GadaboutGran.

Anyone else for Reading?

See you then!

Yes indeed. I'll keep bumping it up to try to get a few more GNs interested.

Remember to put Thursday 5th September in your diaries for the Reading meetup. 10.30( or thereabouts )in the restaurant of John Lewis in the centre of town. All GNs from Berkshire, Surrey and Hampshire (and elsewhere ) most welcome .

Memo to self "find diary"

Don't forget the meetup this Thursday. Details above.

As you know I won't be able to come this time. Enjoy yourselves everyone.
I will be around for the last two weeks in October so maybe time for another meet up then. I think one of weeks is half term though.

We will certainly arrange another meetup for the end of October dustyangel. Perhaps a different venue may be preferred for that one.

I will be there too.

Excellent ![ grin]

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow 10.30 John Lewis Reading (just in case you have forgotten)

Just checked the train times I shall be wearing a green and turquoise patterned top and cream trousers (thats just me and half the population then)

and I'll tie a bright scarf round my handbag. So looking forward to tomorrow!

Will do the same with a scarf.
