Lancaster and Area Chat Thread

[GinFirstQuestionsLater]

After discovering how many of us there are around here, I thought it would be good to get our very own chat thread. If there's enough interest, I may even set up a Lancaster local site.

Quick Bio - ex LGGS (the Pammie G Era) moved away, moved back, work at UoC.

I like cocktails and would like to meet people who also like cocktails and maybe would even like to meet up one evening and drink them!

And as for meeting up for cocktails, that sounds great to me.

Hellooooo ex-LGGS and later QES late 90s / early noughties; just moved to Morecambe after 8 years away with my OH and baby.

Going for cocktails tomorrow at the new (to me) tiki bar above Reds, excited!

You left LGGS for QES? I so wanted to do that.

It really wasn't that worth the travel - other than for the friends I met. You get rather ousted from the clique if yo don't stay on at Grammar I found

I'm wondering whether to lay a trap in Chat for other local MNers and get them over here. If for no other reason than I'd like to meet at least one who is younger than me!

Gin, how old are you?

You should, you should. I will keep an eye out

I'm 38.
That's 8 years more than I wish I was .

Gin, do you know anything about Junior Drama?

so I am younger then

Yers, Thats what first years did lead by lovely 6th formers innit?

You're all bloody well younger that me.

Kids. Pah.

Just wondering which play you worked on in your sixth form...

Yeah I am well down with the kidz innit... YOLO

Was I in L6 while you were an iccle first year?

Right. That's it. We need to get some older people on here because I refuse to be the oldest!!!!!

I may have been in 2 nd year. I left in 98. After 7 looooooong years.

I left in 93, so yes you possibly missed me by a year.
Phew!

I hated LGGS. When I got the invite to the centennial reunion a few years back I deleted the fucker!

I didn't get an invite.

I started in 90-91

Gin - as I am a mother of an LGGS girl, albeita current one, that makes me a lot older than you if that makes you feel any better...

Junior Drama was replaced last year by the 'Performing Arts Festival'... well, that was the idea of the new 'head of performing arts', everyone else still called it JD and the 'winter themed play' somehow turned out to be Peter Pan anyway.

I didn't get an invite either proud

I got the invite on an old email account. I think they just threw them out there to try and find people.

Winter arts festival! Things really have moved on, even if it is still really Junior Drama :)

I still have the email account we set up in ICT in first year...

On a more important note, where the heck should one go on a Lancaster night out? First time tomorrow since I moved back

Just in case anyone fancies it/it helps anyone the Lancaster meet-up page is here

Mint. You need to go to Mint. Its a little more pricey, but the drinks are amazing!

The Sun Inn is good as well.

Evening everyone. Anyone about?
