I know you didn't actually suggest attending a meet or even arranging one, but the subject does suggest you might be interested in going to one lol

Go on, give it a chance, you can't be anonymous all the time lol

I have always wanted a campervan so I could just take off when I felt like it without having to pay for hotel rooms, not that I do that at the mo lol

Can't you just picture this dotty woman in purple turning up at your door in a campervan lol Put the kettle on Mrs!

Lizx

off to bed in a mo, o.h. will be up for work soon

*pictures Suswiv taking us all to the Meet in her Campervan:-) BC XX

Lol BC....I wish someone could draw the picture in my head......The whole lot of you either hanging or swinging from a camper-van......Liz hanging from the TV arial....legs flying straight......BC with her rollers and bottle of Bailies, legs akimbo on the roof......etc....Come on....I am sure you can all think of others.

Sorry Susan, you wouldn't have a tv aerial for long if I was hanging from it lol

Marion boro lass said she is up for the meet to

whoo hoo

There is a possibility that I may go.

Oh.

Elderrrrick adding his name !!}

hes looking for a suitable landing spot.ha ha.

you best come susanwiv, your organising it lmaooooooooooooooooo

we will try and drag our Peggy along to

Well, I think its about time we got this sorted. As I said, I would be quite happy to organise a meet, perhaps Newcastle would be the best place.

But when I did the 'Geordie Meet' I found it very hard to find a suitable place in the centre of the town. I ended up booking The Three Bulls Heads, where a section upstairs was reserved for us and the food was not too bad there but not brilliant. If anyone knows Newcastle well then please make suggestions.

If it looks like we have a large turnout, a Saturday is usually the most popular day. A match day is a no no in Newcastle.

What I need to know is what suits all those interested. Please answer all questions.


1. October, November, December or next year?

2. A Weekday or a Saturday?

3. Approx time of day?

4. A pub that serves food?

5. A non alcoholic venue?

6. A place where children are allowed?

7. Wheelchair access?


Thats all I can think for the mo.


Jenny

Thank you Jenny,

I will go anywhere, any time, as long as it is smoke free.

I don't mind the day as long as I know well in advance so I can rearrange commitments. Having said that, Saturday would be very good for me because it can't clash with anything

It would take me about an hour and a half to get there,so not 9 am lol

I am happy with a pub, but I don't drink at all when i drive,so non alcoholic would be fine as well.

I don't have young children and don't need disabled access

Phew, i think that covers it

~~Jenny can we have one that you just walk out the door for a drag of fag...}}}}}}

1. October, November, December or next year?

2. A Weekday or a Saturday? saturday wld be better for me, but ill go with the majority,

3. Approx time of day? anytime after 11,ish lol

4. A pub that serves food? yeah soak up some of the booze i drink lol

5. A non alcoholic venue? are you kidding???? see above answer lol

6. A place where children are allowed? hmmm i have no trouble getting littleone minded so its not nessesary for me lol

7. Wheelchair access? not unless i hav an accident between now n then lol,

Hi Linda and Kay, thanks for your replies.

I believe most meet ups start about midday, depending on what time trains arrive for members travelling a distance. I have stood on many a platform waiting to meet various trains. The most memorable one was at central station Newcastle in the freezing cold waiting for a few members to arrive. But please remember those that come by car will have to find a multi storey parking space which can prove rather costly if you are staying for 3 or 4 hours.

I am sure all places will be smoke free Kay. I am ashamed to admit that I am a smoker too. (Tobacco only I must add)

As I said earlier, it will be hard to find a suitable place in Newcastle. I have only lived up here for 12 years so I don't know the town very well. Our Mau would be good a suggesting a place.

I hope this meet up will be cost friendly for all. I for one could not afford a really expensive place where the food costs an arm and a leg. We need a clean and comfortable place that can accommodate us without upsetting the regulars. Hope you understand what I mean. Lol.

Jenny

Oh Stray, your answers are just what I expected from you. Lets hope your accident free between now and the meet. Do you think we can get our Kim to come? It is a long way for her though.

Do you know, there are two people I would love to meet again. BC and CB.

the gateshead meet was in a loverly place
but without a car
it would of been to out of the way
so near a train station might be better for travelers

i can go all day with out a ciggy
if you tie me to a chair lol

yeah Kim, will defo come, shes to nosey not to "sniggers" ill put some pressure on her im sure tht will work haha x

BC is amazingggggggggggggggg, x
