I'm afraid I won't be able to make this one. My stepmother's family are coming over from Holland and we are all having a meal in celebration of my Dad's life with our side and his friends in Yorkshire. I will definitely be in York in October though, that's all booked 🙂

I do hope that lots of you do get together at this though, it's so great to meet up with people and just talk the day away without worrying about boring any non-Ds rigid! 🙂

Let me know if you plan to come along 🙂

I may be able to make this one, if I can work out the travel issue. I'd have to change trains and I'm not sure I can manage that. I'm thinking about it.
 
I won't have the money to stay in Birmingham and I really don't fancy doing the trip in one day. Sorry
 
This is a bit scary as I haven't been to one before but as I live in Brum I will do my best to be there. Have you met in the briar rose before? I have never been in there.

Well as you live in brum you will know that we don't bite
















very often:D
 
Would you believe it! I'm in Birmingham that day but for my first workshop for my CIPD so I don't think I will make x
 
Well you all look quite harmless so I feel better about it now.

Yes, please don't worry about meeting people Bessimay! They are all lovely people, it's very informal, and within moments you will feel as if you have known everyone for ages 🙂 Sorry I can't come along, I was looking forward to meeting you 🙂

Yes I am sorry you won't be there Northy but your event with family and friends will be very special and you must of course be there.
 
Sorry chums - rail fares seem to have doubled this year, so unless I win the lottery, I will need to pass on this one - sorry
 
I was hoping to get to Birmingham but still have both my fractured feet in plaster casts so won't be able to hobble to say Hello.
 
I was going to try for Brum, but looks like the train fare will be restrictive, so I'll definitely be at the Manchester one and might try for York 🙂. Will keep trying for cheap tickets to Birmingham though just in case because I'd like to meet everyone. You'd recognise me instantly, I'd be the very tall slightly bonkers woman, still wandering around New Street when everyone's leaving (that place is my mortal enemy) :D
 
Cheap train fares from London have already sold out, so I've booked by coach. I need to board by 09:00 😱 to get there shortly before noon.
 
I'm not going to be able to make this one due to everything going on right now with my family. But i really hope you all have a fab time and i will try and get to one of the get togethers in the future 🙂
 
Won't be able to make this one, but I'll see if I can make York 🙂
 
Really sorry that I won't make it this time due to attending a wedding. In all honesty I'd rather be with you lot, I am dreading the wedding as hubby and my sisters b/f act like a pair of stupid kids and don't get on at all. The only one who suffers is me really by being in the middle - but there you go that's families for you. Hope you all have a fabulous time.xx
