50 Bookers 2025 Meet Up

MamaNewtNewt · 27/03/2025 12:44

Just setting up a chat to firm up plans for a Southern meet up and a Northern meet up.

Lets see who is interested, then firm up locations and dates.

I know there are a few of us who want to come but might not be able to make it, so no judgement at all for those who decide nearer the time that they can’t make it. Hope to meet some of you this year!

@CrepuscularCritter sorry for your bereavement.

Thank you for organising this @AgualusasLover
Let’s hope that we can all meet again next year, gutted not to be there (but looking forward to my holiday and 10 books to read 📚!)

AgualusasLover · 14/07/2025 20:53

@CrepuscularCritter sorry to hear you are dealing with bereavement - and relatives.

AgualusasLover · 14/07/2025 20:52

<tries desperately to think who is coming>.

We will be in the same starting space for quite some time, even if people nip off to look at things and for anyone arriving later you have my number, but we’ll only be venturing next door to the starting place.

Terpsichore · 14/07/2025 19:15

Sorry you can’t be there @CrepuscularCritter - I hope the day isn’t too hard for you.

bibliomania · 14/07/2025 18:52

I won't be there as I need to drop off DD to her DoE silver expedition up in northern parts, but will be thinking of you all.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 14/07/2025 18:00

I'm sorry to hear you can't make it CrepuscularCritter. Hopefully another time.
I'm hoping you can make it Terpsichore, fingers crossed. I'm sorry to hear about your dh's accident. I hope he feels better soon. * *

CrepuscularCritter · 14/07/2025 17:55

Sadly I am not going to be able to make it. A family bereavement means I will be hosting relatives in readiness for the funeral.

Have an absolutely wonderful time everyone. Last year's bookishness was great.

Terpsichore · 14/07/2025 09:19

Hope to see you, noodle! I’m still theoretically intending to make it although DH has had an accident involving a broken bone, and we’re off to the fracture clinic on Wednesday, so I can’t be 100% definite, I’m afraid 😦 I’ll be gutted if I have to duck out at this stage.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 14/07/2025 09:03

Looking forward to seeing you Noodle.
Perhaps we should take a roll call, Time :)

TimeforaGandT · 14/07/2025 08:35

Sorry to hear things are difficult noodle but it will be good to meet you. Slightly lost track of who is hoping to be there on Saturday!

CornishLizard · 14/07/2025 07:21

Sorry to hear about the family situation noodle but looking forward to meeting you on Saturday.

noodlezoodle · 13/07/2025 20:22

I wasn't supposed to be in England until August, but owing to a family health crisis, I am actually here already, and very excited that I may be able to join you.

I plan to be there, unless the situation devolves - looking forward to meeting some of you on Saturday!

MegBusset · 09/07/2025 16:21

Received with thanks @AgualusasLover looking forward to it !

SheilaFentiman · 09/07/2025 15:23

Received :-)

AgualusasLover · 09/07/2025 15:03

@MegBusset and @SheilaFentiman just sent.

MegBusset · 09/07/2025 08:24

I’ve just messaged you @AgualusasLover (please note it’ll show as from one of my other user names - I just use this one for book threads!)

SheilaFentiman · 08/07/2025 21:25

Have sent the PM but I have a feeling MN sometimes blocks email addresses in PM so let me know if you don’t get it!

AgualusasLover · 08/07/2025 19:43

@SheilaFentiman @MegBusset apologies for my absolutely shocking organisation here. Can you drop me another PM with emails. For whatever reason not coming up in my inbox and I can’t get at the Google form with my new work laptop (very bloody annoying).

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 08/07/2025 14:58

Cherrypi · 08/07/2025 12:53

Any criteria for the book swap?

No criteria, Cherrypi. I pick one that I enjoyed reading and hope for the best that the recipient might like it too. It's tricky! I must choose mine yet.

cassandre · 07/07/2025 17:41

I'm sorry you can't make it, @JaninaDuszejko and @StrangewaysHereWeCome ! It was lovely to meet you both last year.

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 07/07/2025 12:24

I've had the email - thank you - but sadly can't make it due to another commitments here in the north that day. I'm sorry to be missing out as the plans sound great. If by a stroke of luck my other event is moved (work-related social that I can't easily duck out of) then I'll hop on a train!

MegBusset · 07/07/2025 07:34

I’ve not had an email yet either.

SheilaFentiman · 07/07/2025 06:48

Still no email for me, I did check junk too.

RomanMum · 07/07/2025 06:16

Sadly I can’t make it either, a real shame as it was a lovely event last year.
