I wish I lived closer to Scotland so I could meet all you lovely people.
Any one holding a similar meeting in the Nott’s / Derbyshire area?
Allan.
Might be worth suggesting something yourself Allan, and see who might be interested 🙂 We've had meets up and down the country over the years, so a lot depends on how many active members there are in the area suggested, or how far people are prepared to travel 🙂 Always good to meet others in the same boat 🙂
 
Hi eggyg. I will do my best to come to The Bonny Land. My Wife is doing her best to try & stop me doing things. Busy next week off to London for day (should be good then talk to a lovely group of keep fit types. Thanks 🙂

Bring Mrs Hobie with you and she can keep an eye on you! It would be lovely if you could make it but don’t overdo it. There will be other meet ups.
 
I was thinking of having a day in Glasgow with Mrs HOBIE. 😉. Next week is a good test for me ?😉
 
Hi everyone.

I'll need to see what I can arrange. I'm at work on the South Side until 12:30.

I take it that some kind of bar lunch is going to be involved?

Who else is maybe coming. Have I missed anyone?
 
That’ll be 12, with Sadhbh’s wheelchair pilot. You’ll have to tell the venue not to shove us up the stairs, and reserve ground level space. I can barely do stairs now, and for sure Sadhbh can’t.

Good idea Carol. Should be quieter with it being Friday, also ask them we don’t want to be sat round a column! If you can’t book, I will be there 10.45, I will do a bit of table and chair shuffling! :D

Hi. Just phoned them and they are closed for refurbishment. She gave me number for Crystal Palace, but it’s booked out.
There is society rooms on west George street, but they are fully booked ( I did ask for 14) and counting house on st Vincent place isn’t answering. Not sure if they are accessible for wheelchairs as that’s where we first went and had to carry alison,s chair up. (The web site says wheelchair accessible)Anyone know anywhere else ?

Blooming heck! Good job you called, imagine us all turning up on the day! Counting House did have a lift but it didn’t work that time we were there, I also thought that it was hard to find from station, but if you manage to,get through to them ask about it. I will do some Googling in the meantime. Oh and by the way I have persuaded Mr Eggy to come! :D

Brilliant about mr eggy. I’m not a fantastic Google’s but hopefully someone else will help as well.

I love to Google! Cue for a song? :D
 
Has a google @Carolg and came across the Auctioneers. 4/5 mins from Central and Queens, it says it is accessible and does food. Looked on Trip Advisor and has mixed reviews. Anyone heard of it? It’s on North Court.
