Yes of course you can come! There's no agenda, it's just an informal get-together of people with a common bond 🙂 Everyone is lovely and friendly and I'm yet to meet anyone who didn't really enjoy the freedom to discuss diabetes or anything else with people who 'get it' rather than having to explain yourself or worry that you are boring them with things they don't really understand. It's not all about diabetes as the people who attend are very diverse in ages and backgrounds - not surprising as diabetes can affect anyone. It will be a pleasure to meet you 🙂

I will firm up on the venue shortly, but we normally aim to have someone at the venue from around 11:30 and through the day so you can pop in whenever it is convenient.

I have been reading recent posts and I would LOVE to come to Oxford, so I have been checking out rail fares/times.

Yes, it is possible, 2 trains to get there and 3 to home, but only 3.5 hours in your company.

Including fares in and out of Glasgow, at a stardard fare of of ?140, yes, ?140 it just is too costly

Sorry that I won't be able to come , lots of photos please.

 

[Tezzz]

Aw Hazel that's a shame - have you looked at staying over night ? Travelodge are having a sale of ?12 per night at the moment, they might have some rooms in Oxford (i keep getting emails from them). Would that make any difference to the train fare a o/night stay ?? xxx

Depends on how far it is from the pub - if it is far I will be requesting the pleasure of someone's company to ensure I stay safe xxx

I can oblige.

There are a few pubs about five minutes walk from the stations. Mainly a Wetherspoons and a few others. The main town isn't far at all from there. Reasonably small place this place.
