Just that really.
After seeing so many Cambridge folk in one place on the hotel thread I thought it'd be nice to try and have a meet up.

So sign up here!

I'm in. I work full time so evenings and weekends best. Could do lunchtime if it was near work (central Cambridge )

SkinnyLegsAndAll · 14/07/2013 10:43

I'd be up for it. Have a small baby so always looking for things to do! We're in central Cambridge.

I vote for a loooooooong wine filled lunch.

Aw don't be ashamed myname! I've never been to a meet up, I didn't realised there were people in place to sort them out!
I'm usually free Mondays Thursdays and Fridays during the day but also evenings (for booze Smile).

I've not been to a meet up either. And had no idea there are actual ambassadors!
Any if those days work for me. As do evenings. (And either for booze Wink)

mynameisnt · 14/07/2013 19:00

evening would be nice I reckon - ice breaking type booze things Grin

Josieposiepuddingandpie · 14/07/2013 19:23

I'm in, I work mon-wed and have DS in tow thurs & Fri, but free evenings and weekends too.

SkinnyLegsAndAll · 14/07/2013 20:17

How old is your DS Josie?

MarronGlace · 14/07/2013 20:24

I mean I'm happy to talk to strangers on the internet but I don't want to be smiling awkwardly at strange women in bars..

ha ha - when I met up with some Cambridge mn-ers to go running, I wore red trousers, everyone came in and asked cautiously 'are they RED trousers?'

NewtoCambridge · 14/07/2013 21:53

Don't we just need Boden and a MN scarf? Grin

Josieposiepuddingandpie · 14/07/2013 22:00

DS is 2 and currently learning all about saying "NO!" Grin

Josieposiepuddingandpie · 14/07/2013 22:01

We could get MN stickers or badges maybe?

Someone said to me the other day "have you tried giving him choices about what order to get ready for bed in?" I gave it a go with teeth or nappy first "NO! No teeth, no nappy mummy, down stairs, play trains!" He knows his mind my son Grin

GinAndIt · 14/07/2013 22:57

Boozy evening sounds good Wink

SkinnyLegsAndAll · 15/07/2013 13:02

We could all bring packets of PomBears...and use the pass phrase "Are you a friend of Justine?"

My DS (5 months) doesn't actually speak the word 'no' yet, but he grunts a good variation!

Was wondering how the running group is going myname - would like to attempt joining you once the heat has retreated.

mynameisnt · 15/07/2013 14:35

sadly, we all did the first run together, but then my knee 'went' for two weeks :( so I dropped out - I know another lady who is a mum at my dd's school (that's Cambridge for you!) is still at it and I have started myself - up to week 5 now (although have been actually doing it for 7 weeks Blush), Really enjoying it though!

sounds good to meSmile is it weird to be meeting complete strangers for the first time in a pub?

mynameisnt · 15/07/2013 16:40

sounds possible for me !

SkinnyLegsAndAll · 15/07/2013 17:44

Sadly, I will be out of the country through the 4th. Anytime after that works for me though, so if I miss the first meet up then you must promise me another one even if you all hate each other. I haven't lived in CB very long and it would be nice to meet more locals.
