Just posted on the main site about my lack of social life and was wondering if there are any planned meet ups soon?

Thanks in anticipation

IMST and Hair Grin.

Ok, we've agreed a place, drinks, no kids, what about the all important date?

Oh and how will we recognise each other? Rose, badge, glo stick??

To be fair, in Knott bar, we'll be the women Grin (it's a CAMRA pub, largely men of a certain age, or couples)

flushes · 26/08/2012 22:41

What's a CAMRA pub? Certain age men, reality acts??Grin

So..shall we go for Thursdays/ Fridays in late September and early October? How about:

27th/28th September
4th/ 5th October

Knott is the bar of choice with its lovely clientele?

Marking my place

TheOneWithTheHair · 26/08/2012 22:52

Ok. Knott Bar is good. No idea what CAMRA Confused is but we will probably be the only women.

I'll get back to you on the dates but if any of them are a Saturday it will be good. too much wine to check tonight :)

choceyes · 26/08/2012 22:56

I'm up for this. Although this will be my first meet up and I don't know anyone. Knott bar is a short walk for me so seems rude not to Grin
All those dates are good for me.

MyndAndMist · 26/08/2012 22:56

Ooooh I'd be up for a meetup! (I was at the Knott Bar one - am a namechanger, used to be NunthWave)

flushes · 26/08/2012 23:03

The dates I have started with are Thursdays and Fridays, happy to do Saturdays though?

Do you all think we can agree on a date?

It's my first meet up too choceyes so I'm expecting the others to show us the MNer way to drink and have fun!

Sounds a good idea to me...central Manchester meet up...I'm in! No dcs for me its been a long summer!

InMySpareTime · 27/08/2012 07:01

CAMRA is the "campaign for real ale" , hence the men of a certain ageGrin.
Fri/sat is better for me as I don't usually stay out late on a school nightBlush.

whyme2 · 27/08/2012 07:28

I can do any of those dates suggested and I did wonder what CAMRA meant!

flushes · 27/08/2012 20:46

Ah, now I see, thanks IMSTGrin.

Ok, shall we go for Saturday 6th October at Knott Bar, 7.30 - 8pm meet up?

Who's in?

And are we all looking forward to this post summer, autumnal night of fun and lots of vino? WineWineWine

OP posts:
InMySpareTime · 27/08/2012 21:36

I'm in

TheOneWithTheHair · 27/08/2012 22:09

I'm in too. Yay.

I'm looking forward to it now. And the best bit is that because it's a Saturday dh won't be called on by work like last time! Grin

flushes · 27/08/2012 22:22

Yay, great news.

So far then we have for definite:

flushes
InMySpareTime
TheOneWithTheHair

Who else can make it?

Forget X Factor, this night will be MN X Factor! (tumbleweed blows across the screen) Blush

TheOneWithTheHair · 27/08/2012 22:39

I'm not bloody singing unless I get wasted Grin

whyme2 · 28/08/2012 06:40

I can make it. It does sound like it is going to be an interesting evening.

choceyes · 28/08/2012 09:16

Me I'm in!!

Flushes - I'm glad that I won't be the only first timer there!

TheOneWithTheHair · 28/08/2012 15:46

choceyes I was terrified before my first meet-up. I've been to two. One with and one without dcs.

I was convinced everyone would be more than me iykwim. Everyone was actually lovely. I don't think I would have gone without InMySpareTime to hold my hand. It was a fab evening though. :)

wolvesdidit · 28/08/2012 22:09

I'd like to come!

flushes · 28/08/2012 22:32

Evening all, so now we have:

flushes
InMySpareTime
TheOneWithTheHair
whyme2
choceyes
wolvesdidit

The more the merrier, so if anyone else is in please say!

Saturday 6th October at 7.30-8pm, Knott bar, Deansgate

This feels like a date! I'm excited! Now what to wear, hmmm.

ThisIsMummyPig · 28/08/2012 22:37

I would like to come, but I haven't been to a meet-up before, nor have I been on any of the ante-natal groups etc on here.

I have been a MNer a bit though, but had to namechange a while ago as I posted about my SIL and would have outed myself.

flushes · 28/08/2012 22:38

Malinky, Mynd, frankie, ohforfoxsake, UFP, Maat - can any of you make it?

Sorry if I missed anyone on the previous posts.

OP posts:
ThisIsMummyPig · 28/08/2012 22:40

Won't be on for a few days though. Am off camping and my phone doesn't do internet.

flushes · 28/08/2012 22:41

Hi ThisIsMummyPig, another first timer too, hope you can come, hopefully it will be a good night!

It'll be interesting to see if any of us know each other in RL when we meet up too.
