Birmingham meet up....

pensionpat - anywhere we can come and buy things?

If people want a December meet up I'll try to get there. Mid January does tend to be a bit of a dreary time so a meet up then might be a needed boost!

Elrel. Anyone who can get to Rugeley is welcome. I got the idea from Granny23 two years ago and it is very successful. We have a mountain of donated toys, games and books. We operate for a month before C'mas. No price tickets. People pay what they can afford, and what is fair. The aim is to ease the financial pressure at a costly time. We were staggered to raise £2000 last tear. We donated it to Food Bank. This year we hope to do even better. We raised funds to buy brand new toys too. We are just gearing up and getting excited as openi g day approaches.

Early January is fine by me...

Early January is good for me too.

Yes; I'd like to make the January meet up if possible. May go to Brum on Sunday to do some family research; the cemetery where the family mausoleum is give tours once a month and they were very helpful when I tried to locate the grave. I may have left Brum a long long time ago, but I get very emotional about the place.

Pensionpat - what a wonderful thing you're doing!

Do we have a date in January for the B'ham meet up?

Good Morning and Happy New Year to you all!

Thought I would bump this up so we can try and arrange a meet up soon, either this month or February?

I am free any day week commencing 22nd January or week commencing 19th February?

Happy New Year Nannyjan and all! January is creeping on...I still have the awful virus but hope it will be gone soon. Perhaps someone could suggest a date and we can see if we can work round it. Week beginning 22 Jan sounds ok for me, depending on the day and time.

For some reason this hasn't gone over to the active discussions...

I have an Audiology appointment now on 22nd, but any other day that week is fine for me.

This seems to have stalled...

Lets try some more dates? I am free any day w/c 12th February except for Thursday 15th. The Art Gallery Café was a good place last time, unless anyone has any other suggestions?

I will see what date anyone can do. How do we get this discussion to the Active page? It's a bit lost here!

Perhaps a new thread needs to be started?

Sorry folks, been on hols for the last three weeks so haven't caught up yet. Next week is very busy for me. I'll check things out and get back.

Ooooh hope you had a good holiday Blinko

We are away for a week from 8th March.

I could do Wednesday 21st or Tuesday 27th? Any good?

Either is fine for me!

Just realised the 21st is half term week, so I need to keep that week free for doing things with granddaughters. So 27th would be better for me.

Hi NJ looks like it's you and me then. 27th is fine. Unless anyone else joins us, I suggest we could meet nearer home, say Merry Hell, for coffee and a natter? what do you think?

HI Blinko, Merry Hell would be ok with me.

About 11.00am?

Morning, NJ, brill! It's in the diary. What time's good for you?

Sorry, missed it...doh! 11am is fine. Looking forward to it.

Meet outside Debenhams on the ground floor?
