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!

I’ve got my email too, many thanks for the impecable organising. I’ve chosen my book for the swap but my attendance is now hang over dependent as I have a ‘Do’ on the 18th. I have worked out I can get a train that will allow more of a lie in but get me to the meeting point for about 11:15am so I’ll aim for that.

So:

missing from the email. I knew I’d mess it up. Will forward to the two of you and anyone else in the morning.

Stowickthevast · 03/07/2025 19:41

I got the email but can't make it - sounds so lovely though!

CornishLizard · 03/07/2025 20:27

Thank you Agualusa, I received the email and am very much looking forward to it.

MegBusset · 03/07/2025 22:46

@AgualusasLover I haven’t had a new email about London

Cherrypi · 04/07/2025 18:23

I haven't received an email either.

AgualusasLover · 04/07/2025 22:02

Didn’t get a chance today - will go back to the form and see who I have missed.

sometimes I wonder how I function.

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 06/07/2025 18:58

Thank you for the email, Agua!
It all sounds great.

JaninaDuszejko · 06/07/2025 22:00

I've got my email but sadly will not be able to make it, July is very busy this year. Sorry to miss it and hope you all have a great time!

ChessieFL · 07/07/2025 05:26

I’m not going to make it either I’m afraid but hope you all have a great time! Maybe next year…

RomanMum · 07/07/2025 06:16

Sadly I can’t make it either, a real shame as it was a lovely event last year.

SheilaFentiman · 07/07/2025 06:48

Still no email for me, I did check junk too.

MegBusset · 07/07/2025 07:34

I’ve not had an email yet either.

StrangewaysHereWeCome · 07/07/2025 12:24

I've had the email - thank you - but sadly can't make it due to another commitments here in the north that day. I'm sorry to be missing out as the plans sound great. If by a stroke of luck my other event is moved (work-related social that I can't easily duck out of) then I'll hop on a train!

cassandre · 07/07/2025 17:41

I'm sorry you can't make it, @JaninaDuszejko and @StrangewaysHereWeCome ! It was lovely to meet you both last year.

Cherrypi · 08/07/2025 12:53

Any criteria for the book swap?

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 08/07/2025 14:58

Cherrypi · 08/07/2025 12:53

Any criteria for the book swap?

No criteria, Cherrypi. I pick one that I enjoyed reading and hope for the best that the recipient might like it too. It's tricky! I must choose mine yet.

AgualusasLover · 08/07/2025 19:43

@SheilaFentiman @MegBusset apologies for my absolutely shocking organisation here. Can you drop me another PM with emails. For whatever reason not coming up in my inbox and I can’t get at the Google form with my new work laptop (very bloody annoying).

SheilaFentiman · 08/07/2025 21:25

Have sent the PM but I have a feeling MN sometimes blocks email addresses in PM so let me know if you don’t get it!

MegBusset · 09/07/2025 08:24

I’ve just messaged you @AgualusasLover (please note it’ll show as from one of my other user names - I just use this one for book threads!)

AgualusasLover · 09/07/2025 15:03

@MegBusset and @SheilaFentiman just sent.

SheilaFentiman · 09/07/2025 15:23

Received :-)

MegBusset · 09/07/2025 16:21

Received with thanks @AgualusasLover looking forward to it !

noodlezoodle · 13/07/2025 20:22

I wasn't supposed to be in England until August, but owing to a family health crisis, I am actually here already, and very excited that I may be able to join you.

I plan to be there, unless the situation devolves - looking forward to meeting some of you on Saturday!

CornishLizard · 14/07/2025 07:21

Sorry to hear about the family situation noodle but looking forward to meeting you on Saturday.
