Lincolnshire meet?

I`m in Boston, would happily come to a meet up. Just say where and when.

Great , that's two of us. Let's see if there's any more response before deciding a date and venue...

I Can get to Boston ...if that suits others...might get to meet you at last * call girl*

I could come if its near Grantham

Yes "Nellie", we never did manage it, did we?

Hopefully this time callgirl just been looking to see if Grantham is possible

I've just looked it up and found a reasonable bus service between Lincoln & Grantham during the day so I could make a lunchtime or early afternoon there. Don't know the town at all though so downtoearth or someone else will have to choose a venue.

I don`t know Grantham, apart from driving through it, so can`t be of help regarding a venue, sorry.

I think Grantham has a usual selection of eateries like Pizza Express, Ask etc etc - what does everyone fancy to eat

I enjoy most things except "fast food" type offerings - pub grub, fish&chips, pasta, deli sandwiches, etc, etc.

I dont know Grantham at all as I live in Norfolk but I can get a bus to either Spalding or Boston with out a problem, I know the shopping village in Spalding ..Springfield..would Boston be difficult or a central place to meet

And I will eat anything

Grantham would be easier for me than Boston. Not sure about Spalding: I'd probably need to set off the day before!

I`m easy, as long as the menu is varied, and not just foreign food. Actually (whispering Scribbles) I`m a fish and chips worshipper!

Sadly will have to bow out as I cannot get to Grantham as I am in Mid Norfolk....but callgirl we could still meet at Springfield as we have suggested previously to each other

That's a shame, downtoearth, but maybe another time.....?

There seem to be plenty of food options in Grantham (according to Trip Advisor) such as the Eden Wine bar in the Market Place; the bistro at the Angel & Royal Hotel in the High Street where they do a soup-&-sandwich type of lunch; Barkers restaurant, just around the corner from there where the emphasis seems to be on traditional English food; or even (for the calorifically reckless among us ) Neptune Fish Bar & Restaurant on London Road. Plus, all the usual chain eateries.
I'd humbly suggest that the Angel & Royal may be a little staid BUT it may also be a quietish place to talk without having to shout over music etc.

Any ideas about dates? After Weds next week, I've nothing binding in my diary so could do just about do any week day. Probably best to do it before December when the office party season gets underway.

Grantham is good for me too..probably catching same bus as Scribbles! Weds. are no good for me and next week , of course, is half-term so Granny duties beckon. Hope we can arrange something.

I'd overlooked half term ...
But let's be bold and make a decision: how about Tues 31 October at the Angel & Royal? Or the following Tuesday? Lunchtime?
Of course, if we can't all make one of those dates, then we can pick another!

At the moment I could make either of those. Tuesday is usually good for me.

The only time I definitely CAN`T make it is November 16/17/18th, s my daughter is taking me to London.
Downtoearth, I`d love to meet up with you at Springfields, anytime apart from the above dates.

callgirl look forward to that , we can make a date once the dates for the Lincolnshire meet up have been arranged

How about we settle for 31 October? Unless, of course, Teetime can't make that day. Say, 12:00 in Bertie's Bistro at the Angel & Royal?
I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

This thread is now on Twitter so who knows who else might turn up?

October 31st is fine with me.
Yep Downtoearth, we`ll fix a date soon.
