Anyone fancy an autumn meet up in the above general area?

ginny Tue 01-May-18 21:09:52

I’ll look for that then. Failing that I’ just accost any likely looking ladies.

I’ll try to be there...will look out for a yellow dress!

Great! We are talking about the front cafe in JL which overlooks the big square (Middleton square.). The lift and stairs are to the right of the main entrance on the square. Not the big cafe at the top. I will probably wear a teal (bluey-green) anorak and I have grey (white?) straight hair. Looking forward to meeting you all at 10.30.

Thanks to Ginny for letting me know about this but I won't be able to make it tomorrow as we have tickets for a recording of Pointless at Elstree; such timing!

Be happy to come if there's another one planned.

Sounds as though you'll be in the Espresso bar on the Mezzanine level. smile

Treebee Thu 03-May-18 09:47:34

Will be there. Will wear a red jacket for visibility!

Treebee Thu 03-May-18 13:20:34

So good to meet you three, hope to see you 4th July along with any others who can make it.
This is the memorial Arboretum I was describing

Great to meet you all. We certainly had a lot to say !
Look forward to next time . I’ll make sure I have my shoes on. ?

pollyperkins Thu 03-May-18 14:33:08

Yes, I enjoyed meeting you all . Thanks to Nannyanny for organising it. We were certainly not lost for words! I will try to make it on July 4th too and hope others can join us.

pollyperkins Thu 03-May-18 14:47:48

Also thanks for the link to the arboretum Treebee. We'll try to pay it a visit.
Ginny glad you will wear your shoes. ?

Nannyanny Fri 04-May-18 13:05:08

Lovely to see you all. So glad our meeting went well, looks like we’re finally up and running. See you all on 4th July, same time same place and as Polly said hope others will join us.

Soupy Fri 04-May-18 16:18:04

I will put the 4 July in my diary ladies and hope to meet up with you there.

Is this group still meeting up in MK? Would love to meet some new people/grans in my local area. I live inLeighton Buzzard.

Nannyanny Wed 15-Aug-18 13:07:39

Yes Glam, we are meeting again on Thursday 13th Sept. in John Lewis coffee shop at 10.30. Please come along if you can, it is a lovely group and you will be made very welcome.

Smurf52 Sun 19-Aug-18 14:40:37

Did anyone go on the above meet? I was on holiday then but wondered if we can arrange another meet up maybe?

Soupy Wed 22-Aug-18 17:47:10

The next Meet isn't until Thursday 13 September so you haven't missed anything Smurf52

Hopefully see you there smile

ginny Fri 07-Sept-18 19:31:35

Hi everyone. I’m sorry but I shan’t be able to get to the meeting on Thursday due to an unforeseen appointment that I really must attend. Hope you have a good meet up and please let me know when you decide the next date.

Treebee Sun 09-Sept-18 19:35:07

That’s a shame Ginny. I plan to be there.

pollyperkins Mon 10-Sept-18 14:21:41

Sorry everyone but like Ginny I will not be able to come this time. Hope you have a lovely meet up and I will try to come to the next one if you tell me when/where it is.

Shirleyw Tue 11-Sept-18 05:14:03

Morning...is it ok if I come ? I'm off this week so am able to make it.....

Soupy Tue 11-Sept-18 20:29:28

Of course it is Shirley; see you there!
John Lewis Mezzanine level coffee place at the front of the store.

Treebee Thu 13-Sept-18 13:28:45

Four of us had a good chatty meet this morning. Nearly included a passer by who lingered just a little too long at our table!
Next meet will be on a Wednesday, to vary the days, November 21st John Lewis cafe overlooking Middleton Hall 10.30.
Might be an idea to start a new thread nearer the time to make it more visible.

pollyperkins Thu 13-Sept-18 14:17:09

Sorry I couldn't come this time. Cousin's funeral. Glad you had fun. Who was there, as matter of interest? Will try to make it next time.

Happiyogi Thu 13-Sept-18 17:30:50

Nooooo! I went to the John Lewis cafe for 10.00, and waited, but no Grans came. Did a bit of shopping downstairs, nipped back up to the cafe, saw no Grans again - and left! Checked my calendar when I got home and discovered that it would have been better to have arrived at the appointed hour of 10.30! blush Sorry to have missed you all.

I'm glad a good morning was had by those who thought to read their diaries before setting forth. Fingers crossed for November!
