Canterbury or Whitstable meet?

139 replies

Having recently started chatting to some kent mums on other threads I searched in vain for any Canterbury or similar meets, so I thought I may as well start one...

So, FioFio, Freckle, Fllightattendant, Jaz et al.... are you on for a local meet (ideally evening or weekend)? I spend my life with friends in London and would love to meet up with some locals instead...

Hello, NYD

This is really odd. I had thought that there weren't any mnetters around my age in this neck of the words but in last week I have found maybe half a dozen, and now you as well! (although I am flattering myself here as I am on the worng side of 40 myself). I have invited the others I found over to this thread, and am hoping we will get a crowd together. Let's see if others join us.

I've put canterbury but am not really fussed. Where do you live?

Q3 Canterbury, Whitstable, or somewhere else more toward Medway?

My answers:

Q1 Evening (or day if weekend and with DC's)

Q3 Cant or Whitstable preferred but can travel

Is there just four of us? I will round up whoever I can on the other threads I am on...

Hello...
I'm actually Tenterden, so about 1 hour away from Canterbury. Not a problem at a weekend really.
Where are you Squiffy?

Hi Padboz

Yes of course you are welcome (apologies for delay - have been away on half term holiday).

Can everyone who is keen maybe come back with their preferences, or shall I just pick a date and place?

Hello there - can I come too?

I am on what I would guess is the right side of 40 but only just and I live in Wingham so really close indeed

in answer to your questions - evening is easier for me - can pretty much do any evening during 22-28 would prefer Canterbury but happy to go to Whitstable

Welcome Beagle/Shiny/dlysmum!

What dates are best for people (I think we've got too close to the original suggestion of next week, so happy to push it out a bit if people prefer).

How about the evening of Wed 5th March at cafe rouge in Canterbury? totally random date and venue so feel free to suggest something else if you prefer...am happy with a pub instead, happy to go somewhere other than Canterbury.... am usually fairly purry with whatever suits everyone else.
