Coppertop and Mymatemax - it's all happening without us - maybe we should do our own Eastern region meet-up. Anyone else over this way?

mymatemax · 28/04/2008 22:38

Yep i'm up for an Eastern meet up, Lottiejenks is Suffolk too - Not sure if she wants to stay incognito though!

I would love to join in but am limited to a couple of hours during schooltime (Herts) so couldn't make Bristol! Might be able to make an eastern meet up? Have fun everyone!

I'd be up for an Eastern meet-up. I'm in P'boro but Suffolk sounds as though it will be much easier to get to than Bristol was.

I had my first SN meet-up at Bristol with MrsF last year.

yes 21st is a weekend, oops sorry, thought that since some people need DSs and DDs looked after then weekend would be better. What date is best for everyone?

TotalChaos · 29/04/2008 15:43

weekend better for me.

sphil · 29/04/2008 18:04

Would have to be a weekend for me.

coppertop I drive past peterborough when I vist my mother (on the a14 way) and would be more than willing to arrange a meet up in the future. I meet my in cambridge too but I dont know if you drive...

Saker · 29/04/2008 21:37

I live near to Newmarket. In terms of an Eastern meet-up I could easily make Cambridge or Ely (which are direct trains from Peterborough) or I could drive to Peterborough (I do already for Ds2's OT), but that might be a bit far for the Suffolk people? Equally I could drive to Ipswich or somewhere else in Suffolk but I think that would be a long way for Coppertop?

I can travel - its Ds free time that limits how far! Could manage Peterb or Cams tues - thurs early lunch. (Ds would stop me talking!)

staryeyed · 30/04/2008 11:06

So are people bringing kids or not? Ditto husbands/partners?

I had a very strange dream about the meet up- Everyone only had user names not real names. My Ds was running wild and everyone was looking at me and silently tutting

Flame · 30/04/2008 21:46

Seriously... would any SN mum tut at other children behaviour???

staryeyed · 30/04/2008 21:53

No Flame, just in my crazy dream

Magso
They would be good times for me - I would also prefer not to have the Dss with me.

Bonkerz - could you make Peterborough/Cambridge/pos Ely - I think there are reasonably good trains from Midlands.

mymatemax · 30/04/2008 21:56

I am on Suffolk coast but can make anywhere in the East.
I won't bring ds's so a school daytime would eb best for me BUT would love to see everyone else's children.

sphil · 30/04/2008 23:05

So what's happening about Bristol meet up then?

bonkerz · 01/05/2008 07:35

i can drive so wouldnt be reliant on public transport BUT am rubbish at geography and dont know where i am in realtion to other places IYKWIM!!!!

Will check diary later today w/r kids etc

magso · 01/05/2008 09:31

Bonkerz, Peterborough is about 45 miles due east of Leicester (via A47), Cambridge and Ely are further (south east)for you.
Saker I could make any of those. I have no idea where to meet up - somewhere for lunch perhaps?

coppertop · 01/05/2008 10:34

Oif - I don't drive but a future meet-up would be great.

Peterborough would obviously be easiest for me but anywhere that's easy to get to by train would be ok too.

LOL at Staryeyed's paranoid tutting dream.

I'll probably end up bringing at least one child along, depending on when people want to meet. Atm it's actually dd who's being the biggest PITA challenge.
