Birmingham meet up....

Next Monday afternoon I'm going to hear the Gransnetters in The 6.5 Specials playing their skiffle in Alvechurch, Worcestershire. Looking forward to meeting them and hearing their music of my youth! Anyone else able to come?

That should have said TWO Gransnetters! I 'met' them on another thread, will try to find their posts.

I've found the skiffle group! On the Have You Had Your 15 Minutes of Fame? thread. Weepam posted on 31/12/16 at 11:48:44
See this for more information about them!

It is in the Chat forum.

Sounds great but not sure if I will be sufficiently recovered by Monday. Suffering from a severe Winter cold. 10 days and counting...

I hope you soon feel better, it's so cold! The sharp wind this morning twice caused me to need my angina spray, unused for several weeks.

So how was Monday's meet up? Hope all went well? Afraid the OH and I are still off the hooks.

Would have loved to have joined you but didn't know about it.

The skiffle session was cancelled due to the weather. The 6-5 Specials are going to let me know when there's something local and I'll put it on here.

This Thursday 23th April I'll be in the Art Gallery tea room from 11am with a GN on my table. Hoping to meet a few local GNs there.

Aargh! NOT 23rd April ...
So sorry: tomorrow, 13th April, at least one other GNetter and I will be in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery Edwardian Tearoom. A sign with GN will be on our table.

Oh dear I missed this posting. I can come to Birmingham but not today. Have a lovely meet up and let me know when the next one is!!!

Elrel etc please give my regards to the floozy in the jacuzzi. I would have loved to join you but DH/blood transfusion/etc etc etc

I'm in Birmingham but sitting with my foot up after a bunion op so may be another time! Hope you had a good get together!

So pleased to see your posts. Blinko and Hellobaby and I managed to find each other in spite of no GN sign on the table.We had a good chat over various teas and hope to meet each other, and hopefully all 3 of you, next time. Either June 8th or 22nd are possibilities, both Thursdays.
Teetime, I wasn't very organised about the meet up - apologies. There seems to be more than one relevant thread.
Saralou, hope you are soon mobile!
MawBoon, I'd no idea you were in the Midlands, assumed you were north of the border! I gave your regards to the floozie, she still has no water in her jacuzzi but looks out coyly from some exotic plants and so has also been called the flirt in the dirt!

It was good to meet with Elrel and Hellobaby yesterday in the tea room at the Museum and Art Gallery. Nice to be able to put names to people irl, and to know we can meet from time to time. It would be great to meet more Midland GNers in due course. Hope some of us can get together again on one of the dates in June 8th or 22nd.

I wish there was some way linked threads could be signposted to each other.... also that we could be notified if someone posts on a current thread we're on. Calling GN HQ, is there any way, please?

Doesn't like like anything's happening on 8th June then??

Absolootly nothing happening on 8 June

Calling Maw Broon, Elrel, HelloBaby, SaraLou, Teetime so how are we fixed for 22nd? Anyone free then?

Oops, Nonnie and Teegan, sorry I missed you names off the list...

I'm in Solihull on 22nd so will be very near. Where and what time?

Should be fine!)

Oh, this is looking more like it! Would 12noon for lunch suit everyone? Or we could meet at 11am for coffee if that's more convenient? Or indeed, afternoon tea? What's best? I can do any time.

As to where, does anyone have mobility problems? That could dictate where's the most accessible. Last time (April) three of us met at the B'ham Museum and Art Gallery.

BMAG does have a lift, not right by the tearoom but not too far away.
Previously some of us met at John Lewis, either suits me.
