Hi, Seems Liz that interest in the meet is deminishing. Come on people, who is interested? and we need a date and time. Janet PS - Yes Rosi/Liz we must arrange it

When u do come up with date and time etc,its probably a good idea to email each other!!!!!! Jude

I am still interested. Is it to be Webbs? weekday or weekend? Jacky

Well come on, you Mercians. One of you pick a date and then you can discuss it. If you all wait for each other you may well wait forever. Good luck Jim

jacky where or what is Webbs Lou

Hi all and Liz/Rosi As no one seems to want to be definate - Webbs (where ever that is? - perhaps the person who suggested it can give more details) and dates either Sunday 7th December - lunchtime OR Wednesday 10th December - lunchtime. Have just picked 2 random dates early December so as hopefully avoid the Christmas panic. So lets have some response to either the weekend or weekday one. Come on Laurie it was your idea so what do you think. Janet

Have got some info from Webbs, will get back later, in the middle of decorating. Ann is away until Tues I think, but early Dec would suit me pref a Monday, but am fairly flexible. Ros

To Louise - Webbs is a venue suggested by someone - a large Garden Centre / gift shop / restaurant junction 5 off the M5. A good venue for people who will use M40, M42, M5 or M6. Not sure about trains to the area. I can collect up to 4 people from Solihull, Shirley or Birmingham International or somewhere on route. Mid week would be better as by December all the family visits will be getting under way at weekends. Jacky

Its still SAFER TO EMAIL each other with final details.

sorry i won't be able to make it - maybe next time - have fun Lou

Hi everyone, Sorry I,ve been so busy I haven't been on the site for ages. I'm fairly easy on where we meet. A weekend would be better for me as it'll be hard for me to get someone to help with my kid's if midweek. What about Sat 6th December? I'm just thinking I'm not too sure what the trains run like here on a Sunday. Laurie

Laurie, If you are still talking about Webbs the 6th December looks ok to me at the moment. Have some of the messages disappeared, I can't find my original ones. I only came back from holiday at 3am this morning so haven't caught up yet. I definitely would not make Cambridge or Norfolk I'm afraid. I have now found the previous mesages so forget I said that. The 7th also looks ok to me. By the way Webbs always have a superb display of Christmas decorations etc. Ann Glos

To put it up the top again. Is anybody REALLY interested in this meeting or not? Ann Glos

Hi all, I would be interested in meeting up before Christmas - also I live Coventry area near to Nuneaton. Would be so nice to meet some new people who understand my new obsession.! Isobel

Hi Ann, hope you had a good holiday. Had the menu from Webbs Chefs speciality of the day, changes every day £7.50 vegetarian dish of the day £6.00 Steak and kidney pie £6.50 Battered cod £6.50 Roast of the day, beef, turkey lamb and ham with all the timmings £7.50 served between 11.45 and 2.00 late lunches cost £6.50 puds home made lemon meringue pie £3.00 cheesecakes £3.00 apple pie £3.00 Fruit tartlet £2.50 also ice creams from £1.25 to £3.50 having problems with my GC emails, some just stay in the contacts box and others I never see. let me know what you all think. Ros Ann's right about the decorations, saw them on the news the other evening, some years they are better than others.

Ros, We had a super holiday thanks despite a 7 hour flight delay on the way back. Still we were taken to a hotel for luch so it wasn't too bad. We go again on 3 October for 2 weeks so would like something settled here before that if possible. Menu sounds good. Thanks for getting it. Do you think those who are interested could now come up with a date before we all start getting the calendar filled up for Christmas events etc? Somebody make a list of their available dates then thos of us who are interested can see if we can fit in with them. I think we need to really get going now, although if there are fewer than 6 of us we don't need to book, anyone mind if I have Tony with me as he will drive me preferably? He can always go walk about while we chat. This will push us to the top again. Ann Glos

No further comments so I will push it up again. ann Glos

No takers then? Ann Glos

Looks like it could just be me and you, Ann!! Ros

Hi, The menu looks good to me. Sunday will be a real problem for me. Sat 6th is probably the best date for me. Isobel, I live in Nuneaton and I'm sure there are some more on this site from Coventry but I don't think they have been on this board. Laurie
