East Midlands meet up?

Mum allowing, I'm up for that!

If I could get my knee sorted I may be able to join you by combining a visit to a friend who lives near Derby. My GD could cope with H for a couple of days (she says) and I would love to meet up with you all.

Still not completed on new house in Leicestershire. I am hoping for early May!

I will keep an eye out for anything you arrange.

Ann, that would be great. We need to hunt for a venue that is accessible from all directions.

Either Nottingham or Derby would be the same for me. Trains are good from here.

This is sounding very positive I can do any of these centres.

Definitely up for meeting in Nottingham or Derby. Can easily travel to Derby if Nottingham not convenient. Moving house mid May so happier to maybe wait until June . or later.

June is good for me as I am away and/or very busy in May - is that Ok - shall we go for Nottingham. How does June 28th sound?

28th good for me. Nottingham is also fine - though if Derby suits more people, I'm happy to do that. If any one needs collecting on the way (railway stations etc) I can do that too.

I have pencilled that date in so it is free ,health issues permitting.

Hope you have a lovely time. We are coming over mid May, but with one week staying at Rutland Water with visitors- time will just fly.

Another time maybe- will give notice when next over in the autumn x

June 28th fine for me as far as I know. Several good places to meet in Nottingham. Thea Caffee near M.+S is good for food and can stay in there a long time. just a suggestion.

This is all looking good. I have it in my diary.

I don't live inStaffs, but might be able to get to Nottingham for a meet up. Would you kept me know where and when, I will try and make it.

As long as I can find out that I don`t need to change trains more than once, I`d love to give another meet up a go.

Nottingham would be best for me, as it`s direct, Derby there are 2 changes, but you must go with what the majority would like to do.

I could make Nottingham too. Not too early in the morning though. Do you meet for lunch?

How do we know what the final arrangement is?

Sorry all I think this is down to me. I had originally tentatively suggested the 28th June but now find I cant do that as my diary has been hi-jacked. I see the London one has been put off until the Autumn too- June is a difficult time as so many people go away before the school holidays. Shall we then try and set a date for September in Nottingham-there are lots of restaurants - we could meet for lunch to make it easy for travelling to and from- any thoughts?

I had already realised that I would not make it as my knee is too bad to walk anywhere but who knows what September will bring for me.

If you're setting up something for September in Nottingham, I might try and make that as long as it's not Monday or Tuesday.

If it`s definitely Nottingham, I`ll almost certainly be able to come.

Me too

I'm happy with Leicester, Derby or Nottingham. Lunch is good. I prefer not to do Wednesday.

It's possible I could do Monday or Tuesday - it wouldn't hurt DH to do the school run on his own !
