Wokingham/ Berkshire

Bump!

Don't know why we never seem to get much interest for this one. Holme Grange is ideal for a meeting with decent coffee and cakes and plenty of parking.

It would be interesting to know if it would be more popular if we reverted to a venue in Reading. Any thoughts anyone?

I'd be very happy with Holme Grange; I can manage any of those dates. I also had fun browsing in the individual shops there last time we met up, and the garden centre just down the road...

I’d not be so keen on Reading for travel reasons, but others may be.

Or there's the Atrium Cafe at South Hill Park Arts Centre, Ringmead, Bracknell; also plenty of parking - might be too far out for some though.

Thanks, Greenfinch

Good to hear from you Wolwol. Glad you will be able to join us. South Hill Park would be convenient for some so it is a thought for next time. I am just waiting to hear from one other and then we will confirm the date.

I could walk to South Hill Park (I say "could" I might still drive)

I would love to see you all again and do love Holme Grange (and the garden centre!) but am flexible to suit others. 1st or 2nd March would be ideal.

A migrant from the North, I've moved to Sandhurst to be close to my family and could very easily drive over to Wokingham. I'd like to meet some local grans as I don't know many people here yet, outside my family circle.

I could do 2nd March, 🤞that nothing comes up before then.
Look forward to seeing Gransnet friends.

Oh annodommini that would be really lovely. I have often seen you posting and was aware you used to visit your family in Sandhurst .I hope you have settled into the area. Send me a pm if you need directions to Holme Grange.

Let’s settle on 2nd March then. It’s all coming together so shall we say about 10.30 at Holme Grange craft centre cafe?

Auntieflo I am about to pm you.

Looking forward to that 😊

annodomini, I'm also in Sandhurst 😊

Six so far. That’s good but everyone is welcome especially those who have never been before. Holme Grange is in a lovely setting with a garden centre(Squires) and pick you own farm ( not yet open for the year) nearby. There is plenty of free car parking but ,being very rural, there is no public transport. Hope to see you there.

2nd March is fine by me.

See you then Deedaa.

2nd March is good for me and I look forward to seeing you all.

That’s good pennyjw.Don’t forget !!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a gentle reminder that we are meeting a week today (March 2nd) at Holme Grange craft centre as near 10.30 as you can make it. Would anyone else care to join us? You would be most welcome.

Thank you Greenfinch. Will be there DV.

Impressed by the Latin Auntieflo!

😇

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow and there is still time to join us if you can. I will probably reserve a table as it was quite busy last week when I was there. I will be wearing a navy coat and colourful scarf .
