Ack! Sorry Estella, would have been brilliant to meet you, but it seems your work picked the perfect hours to make it impossible - perhaps we'll all pop in to buy something! 🙂
 
OK, I have updated the first post in the thread with the list of attendees 🙂

If anyone else is thinking about it, but is a bit worried about meeting people off t'internet, please take the plunge and come along - I can guarantee that you will enjoy the day, and if you find it's not for you then you don't have to stay long 😉
 
Carol made arrangements to meet a friend she met at FFL (Friends For Life) in Windsor last year.
She is coming up from near Windsor with her mum. I don't know if they'll have lunch with us. I haven't met mum before, but I have met the girl.
 
The more the merrier xx
 
I would like to try to make it if that's ok?
 
yey, be good to meet with you x

Carol and I will have to pop in then. Where is NEXT? is it in the Bullring? or in town?
 
there is one in the bullring!
 
Probably a daft question - but how will I know who people are and I'm not good with walking up to a group of strangers... how does it normally work?!
 
check out my profile picture - i'll be there from 11ish - I will look out for you xx

If you like I can send you my mobile number so you can call me if you're not sure who we are 🙂 Don't worry, everyone is really friendly and you'll feel as though you know us all within a second or two! 🙂
 
Well last year a gang of us all met by WH Smith just through the ticket barrier at New St Station as we were all getting trains which got in about 11am as it was a much longer (but very pleasant) walk to the pub (ie a different one)

Are you coming on the train? Even if no-one else is on the train I'd be happy to meet anyone at New St (or anywhere really in the city centre) and conduct em to the pub. I ought to know exactly where it is as I used to work smack opposite for approx 20 years LOL However in them days it was a building society - probably the Abbey National - but nearly every flipping building in Bennetts Hill was a bank, a building soc or an insurance company!

Hurrah! 🙂 I arrive very early (9:30), as does Hazel, so I will be meeting her and then we will probably go straight on to the pub rather than waiting around unless there are others coming in around that time in which case I would be perfectly happy to meet up at WH Smiths (the side after you have been through the ticket barrier, just to save confusion! 🙂)
 
Grainger, just look at my profile photo. I haven't changed much 😉

Carol and I will be arriving at the New Street station at 11.30
