Well... I'd love to meet you all!

Anyone who thinks they might be interested in coming to meet and talk books, post here.

There are going to be lots of dates, ideas and places and i wonder if anyone would be willing to organise with me?? It would mean private messaging and perhaps moving to WhatsApp or email at some point. Maybe 3 of us?

I can't make this one but would love to join in on another one in the future as the London one was such fun.

We didn't have a WhatsApp group. We gave PermanentTemporary an email address by pm and she contacted* *us.

I can’t make that date as pre-planned a sound bath relaxation day with my sister, if another date then I could have but was not sure what date it was. Will come to any other meet-ups arranged though 🙂 Was there a WhatsApp group set up? If so could I be added? I know one was done for the London meet up but hadn’t joined as thought it was for London meet up only. P.s @MamaNewtNewt thank you for volunteering to help organise and anyone else who has

I've been meaning to message as I volunteered to arrange the northern meet-up but have been crazy busy at work. We did agree on 17th Aug. If you can let me know if you can make it that would be great.

I reckon we shamelessly nick the best ideas from the earlier meet-up, and add our own Northern twist. So if you have any ideas or requirements let me know!

Bookshop cafe? I reckon cake would be good! (or somewhere like People's History Museum?)
Does anyone coming need wheelchair accessible / other accessible?

elkiedee · 30/07/2024 10:42

I'm considering it!

bibliomania · 30/07/2024 10:21

I'm up for it!

JaninaDuszejko · 29/07/2024 19:42

I can make it.

I can make that date, would love to go!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 29/07/2024 11:51

I haven't ruled it out!

Rowena191 · 29/07/2024 11:36

Can I join?Would love to do a book meetup in Manchester on 17 August.

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 29/07/2024 10:29

I can do 17/08 but would need to away by about 15.15 for another thing in town that day.

FortunaMajor · 29/07/2024 07:57

I'm still up for it. It's in my diary.

Sadik · 28/07/2024 22:28

Yes, Saturday 17th August. I'm definitely in Manchester that weekend for utter reasons now so up for it if others are

JaninaDuszejko · 28/07/2024 20:37

Think it was 17th Aug?

Midnightstar76 · 28/07/2024 17:37

Hi was just thinking the same. Was there a date set? 🙂

Sadik · 28/07/2024 14:31

Hello all, just checking in to see if the Manchester meetup is still going ahead?

Stowickthevast · 12/06/2024 21:45

Yes that's right @elkiedee . We can always do a local one!

I don't think I'll make Manchester, have got a packed diary this year over the summer but would definitely up for something in the autumn!

elkiedee · 11/06/2024 20:39

@Stowickthevast I'm sorry that you missed out. I'm hoping to make it to Manchester but I'm not sure - it partly depends on whether or not my sister can put me up in Stockport (not if she and her DH/kids are away which is more than possible in mid August).

But if I don't or even if we both do make it up, we should have another London meet up some time. Or have another go at arranging a mini meet up and invite others here to join us if they can - last time I never got it together to make a definite arrangement with you - you're only a few miles away (and an easy bus journey) from me.

bibliomania · 08/06/2024 18:05

Come to Manchester, Stowick!

StColumbofNavron · 08/06/2024 16:43

Oh @Stowickthevast sorry you missed it. I’m sure we will do it again.

Stowickthevast · 03/06/2024 19:16

I completely didn't realize these meetings were happening. Or I think I remembered it being mentioned and then forgot again. Anyway it all sounds very lovely and so am placemarking for the next one as London is generally a good bet for me.

bibliomania · 03/06/2024 16:27

Yay, sadik!

Sadik · 02/06/2024 19:22

Looks like I should be able to make it to Manchester - very excited!

elkiedee · 19/05/2024 02:48

Great to meet some of you. I'd quite like to get up to Manchester - my sister lives there - but as it's in the middle of school holidays, it might be when she plans to go away. I hope we can get to have another London meetup sometime.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 18/05/2024 23:57

At three minutes to midnight, I have arrived home :)
