MamaNewtNewt · 27/03/2025 12:44

Just setting up a chat to firm up plans for a Southern meet up and a Northern meet up.

Lets see who is interested, then firm up locations and dates.

I know there are a few of us who want to come but might not be able to make it, so no judgement at all for those who decide nearer the time that they can’t make it. Hope to meet some of you this year!

Sorry to hear things are difficult noodle but it will be good to meet you. Slightly lost track of who is hoping to be there on Saturday!

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 14/07/2025 09:03

Looking forward to seeing you Noodle.
Perhaps we should take a roll call, Time :)

Terpsichore · 14/07/2025 09:19

Hope to see you, noodle! I’m still theoretically intending to make it although DH has had an accident involving a broken bone, and we’re off to the fracture clinic on Wednesday, so I can’t be 100% definite, I’m afraid 😦 I’ll be gutted if I have to duck out at this stage.

CrepuscularCritter · 14/07/2025 17:55

Sadly I am not going to be able to make it. A family bereavement means I will be hosting relatives in readiness for the funeral.

Have an absolutely wonderful time everyone. Last year's bookishness was great.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 14/07/2025 18:00

I'm sorry to hear you can't make it CrepuscularCritter. Hopefully another time.
I'm hoping you can make it Terpsichore, fingers crossed. I'm sorry to hear about your dh's accident. I hope he feels better soon. * *

bibliomania · 14/07/2025 18:52

I won't be there as I need to drop off DD to her DoE silver expedition up in northern parts, but will be thinking of you all.

Terpsichore · 14/07/2025 19:15

Sorry you can’t be there @CrepuscularCritter - I hope the day isn’t too hard for you.

AgualusasLover · 14/07/2025 20:52

<tries desperately to think who is coming>.

We will be in the same starting space for quite some time, even if people nip off to look at things and for anyone arriving later you have my number, but we’ll only be venturing next door to the starting place.

AgualusasLover · 14/07/2025 20:53

@CrepuscularCritter sorry to hear you are dealing with bereavement - and relatives.

RomanMum · 15/07/2025 10:11

@CrepuscularCritter sorry for your bereavement.

Thank you for organising this @AgualusasLover
Let’s hope that we can all meet again next year, gutted not to be there (but looking forward to my holiday and 10 books to read 📚!)

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 15/07/2025 10:15

Enjoy your holiday RomanMum!
Happy reading! 📚

AgualusasLover · 16/07/2025 19:46

Looking forward to seeing some of you. I had to provide card details for lunch, but they said they o my charge if we don’t turn up at all, so as long a few of us rock up we are all good.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 16/07/2025 20:05

Thank you Agua! I'm still on track to rock up and eat a nice big lunch!

Cherrypi · 16/07/2025 20:40

I'm still coming 😁

TimeforaGandT · 16/07/2025 20:57

Me too!

CornishLizard · 16/07/2025 21:29

And me!

AgualusasLover · 16/07/2025 21:37

That is perfect.

SheilaFentiman · 16/07/2025 22:03

I’m going to try and come for the first couple of hours but can’t stay for lunch.

MegBusset · 16/07/2025 23:04

I’ll be there :) arriving about 11.45 and staying until 3.30 ish x

highlandcoo · 17/07/2025 06:37

Hi all
I'm still not sure whether I can make it or not. We are moving house very soon and life has been hectic, but I was hoping to nip down for the day .. now my husband's close friend who is seriously ill has said he'd like us to visit and that has become a priority. Trying my best to fit everything in .. if I don't make it, wishing you all a lovely day 😊

CornishLizard · 17/07/2025 07:29

How is your dh Terpsichore?

CornishLizard · 17/07/2025 07:54

Sorry to hear about your dh’s friend highland.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 17/07/2025 08:45

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's friend highlandcoo. Best of luck with moving house!

Terpsichore · 17/07/2025 22:25

CornishLizard · 17/07/2025 07:29

How is your dh Terpsichore?

Thanks for asking, Cornish! He’s ambulatory, though pretty hampered and still in a fair bit of pain - but I’m definitely going to press onwards; I've told him I’m going out for the day! I think as long as I leave everything he needs within easy reach…..😬

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 17/07/2025 22:36

Your poor dh Terpsichore. Ouch!* *
A big flask, biscuits and a pile of books maybe?!
