General Chat

Sorry about caps but hadn't had a reply lol so thought I would make this more obvious!

Next week I will be in Llanelli, S. Wales, and have had several people make contact to say they would like to get together while I am there (probably to drive me out and back to England lol)
I am thinking that Saturday 15th September would be the best day, about 1pm onwards? As I don't know the area well, can you people wanting to meet please suggest somewhere easy to reach, for those with cars and those coming on the train? I am staying at the Millenium Quay development and there is a large cafe/bar there which does food too, looks out over the estuary. Or I wondered about somewhere like Verdis Icecream parlour/bar/cafe in Mumbles?

Let me know what you think and if you haven't already let me have your phone numbers, please let me have them, and those who have sent them, just remind me please so I can make a list to take with me. I will be leaving here on Saturday 8th Sept and won't be on line for a fortnight! Don't quite know how I will manage lol

Really looking forward to meeting more of you.

I'll pm you in a mo, Liz... !'m happy to meet up wherever you choose, as I haven't been to the area since I was a child! One thing... I am not keen on ice-cream!! There's always one, isn't there? lol

Love

Ann, plenty of other things at Verdi's unless you really hate being close to it lol Looking forward to meeting you.
Talk later,

Hi Liz

Wish I could come. As you know OH's family originate from Carmarthen and I would love to visit the area. Are you going to the record office? If so can I ask for a favour - pretty please??

We are going away on the 16th so I know I can't make it even if I could persuade OH.
We will get there one day hopefully. I have just been given some new information about his family and am desperate to check it out.

Hope you are keeping well.
Speak to you soon

Hi Liz

Liz,
cant wait to meet you all!!

Need some feedback on the choice and practicality of venue for you all.

Frances, sorry, I won't be doing any research as have all I need from that neck of the woods thanks to my Dad's cousin, but maybe if someone else sees your plea they could help you out. I have never been to a Records Office before so wouldn't know where to start and would hate to promise something I know I would probably not find time to do. Getting time off for the meet is about all the free time I have managed so far - not taking o.h. to that as he isn't interested in anything to do with genealogy.
Sorry,
Lizx

This is gonna sound really bad as Llanelli is only 45 mins from me but i dont know me way round so cant really say where a good venue is.

But the good news is that that weekend is Naths weekend off so he will be able to look after the kids for me to attend.

Have you had a word with Bobtail Pat as she knows the area well.

Jax xx

Thanks anyway Liz.

Hope you have a good time.

Frances

Hi Bobtail, have suggested Verdi's at Mumbles or the cafe at Millenium Quay but wanting to know if either of those and which one is the most convenient for the people who want to come along to get to.
I mailed Verdi's and they said they don't usually take bookings but could sort out something for us if I let them know. Just not sure how easy it would be for people to reach if they weren't travelling by car.

Hi Liz... I don't mind, truly.... I,m just really looking forward to meeting everyone! I haven't been to either area since I was a child... and the Millenium Quay looks billions better now, and really swanky, I am reliably informed!! I loved the Mumbles as a child.

If anyone wants picking up at the station, I can do that... or if anyone wants a lift, I can do that too. pm me if you want. I live in Newport, Gwent.

Love

Thanks Ann, that is really helpful - hope others will let me know.

Will reply to your pm later
Lizx

It looks nice there Bobtail, but closes at 5pm so if we don't meet till 2pm it doesn't leave much time, when people get talking...

Hi Liz
Hoping to get to the meet. I think that the cafe at the beach would be a great place to meet, there is plenty of parking there and easy from the station. Not sure what time it will be closing, I can slip down there and find out if you want. What about Weatherspoons, also just as easy for everyone but if staying late don't use the multi story car park as it closes quite early, 6/7 o'clockish I think.

Decisions, decisions, will sort this out after the weekend, am off to bed now as have to be up early to get to Jules' wedding at 11 am, not a good time for me, far too early but I am not going to miss it for the world, have to drive 45 miles too, so no drinks for me at the do after, have to drive back later on lol
LIzx

weatherspoons sounds like a good idea, as its not far from the station(walking distance)
p.s. its called "the Potters wheel" in Swansea centre,on the Kingsway to be precise!
any help???

Hi Taff, just googled it and there are some odd reviews about it, have you been there?
Location wise it would be fine.

Off to bed in a mo, am cream crackered, been a long day but had a lovely time.
Lizx

Hi Liz,
There is a wetherspoons in Llanelli, it is called the York Palace. Saturday can get busy though but its the same for most places at the weekend.
Trixie

What time did you say??
