Are you from the Richmond or Catterick Area?

Hi,

Im local Mumsnet Volunteer to arrange group meet ups in Richmond and Catterick area. If you are interested please pop over to the local groups meet up page here and say hi.

Once Ive got more than just me I can get something arranged

Hi, I am in Thirsk. I am mostly a lurker but would love to come out of hiding and meet some local Mumsnetters :)

Constant I go to Thirsk every Thursday for a course, its certainly do-able. Ive got another thread going here There are a couple of people from Ripon on that thread. Although most are from York and I think they might be organising a York meet-up soon. So if you can get there (its a bit far for me) that's something to consider perhaps?

Im trying to get people over to the North Yorkshire local bit as linked in my first post so we can organise something. Im thinking of Thirsk, Ripon, Northallerton area.

Hi Lilleth
I am looking to be a volunteer for the Leyburn and Dales area. I hoping that there is enough of a demand in this area, but if not, what do you think about amalgamating the two groups?

Definately Catbag TBH Im not sure that there will be much interest over each little group anyway. We need a big North Yorkshire meet up. I tried to set one up in chat and got loads from York, which was nice, but York's a bit far for me to meet up.

Leyburn isn't far for me at all.

York's a bit far for me too. I have 17 week old twins and so don't really go too far away if I can help it!

I felt a bit bad saying that York was too far for me as I started the thread as I did just state North Yorkshire, but I was thinking more like Northallerton, Thirsk, Leyburn etc.

There were a couple of people from Ripon too and someone from Northallerton. I was trying to get more people over to the local North Yorkshire board to maybe get some chat going in the friendship bench, but not getting anywhere with it.

Hmm, North Yorkshire is quite big though, that's the problem! I am pretty sure that you are the only other mumsnetter that I have come across that is in my neck of the woods, so to speak. The army wives in Catterick seem to spend more time buying stuff from each other on the Buy/ Sell/ Swap Catterick page on Facebook. We should persist nevertheless.

After I wrote my last post, I saw that there were people on the friendship bench (which you have wrote on too) so at least there are people somewhere. I think that the new local section is still not very well known about just yet. Though I do think there is a disadvantage to us as North Yorkshire is full of little towns. Looks like I will have to be prepared to travel a bit for any meet-ups, which is fine really.

I think that MN looking for volunteers is part of them starting to raise the profile of the local sub-sites. I hope so, anyway. This could be a bit of an up-hill battle otherwise!

Hopefully more and more people will come on once its been going a while.

Hi am in catterick let me know when the group is ready to meet

Hi am in catterick let me know when the group is ready to meet

hi
I am moving to West Burton in a couple of weeks,
would like to chat with people local to that area :)

Hi there
We do need a volunteer to get a meet-up group going in your local area.

Would you be interested in doing this? If so drop me an e-mail at [email protected] and I can get you set up. You will simply arrange get-togethers and advertise them on the site just like Ambassador Emma does for the Harrogate group. I will also pass on any offers/freebies for your area - which might give you the chance to sample services for parents in your area for free.

Another lady has replied to this post and both of you are about half an hour from each other I think so if one of you wants to lead and the other doesn't you might want to be a part of the same group?

If both of you are intersted in running a meet-up group them please let me know your preference from the list on the Meet-Up page.

Many thanks

Hey Ladies,

I'm new to Catterick and am struggling to meet people with the school year over and being tied to the house most of the time. So some chat would be really nice right about now! Did you manage to organise a meet up?
