TaniaColin Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi there after reading the thread what Helena originally posted on News,gossip and chat i think there needs to be a meet in this area. Any ideas, suggestions or volunteers would be greatly appreciated, as i haven't noticed anyone from my area which is Newcastle-uner-lyme. Many thanks Tania :chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne10643 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi Tania, That would be a great idea, I leave at the end of June so it would be great if we could organise it before then. I could help too but not got a huge amount of time. Cheers Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisbane or bust Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hi to all in the Midlands. We would be up for a meet. We live near Stourbridge so not too far from M42, M5 M6. Coventry or that area would be ok for us. Great pub in Meriden called The Bulls Head. Used to go there a lot. Any ideas when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaniaColin Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi has this pub got facilities for children as i think most of us have 1 or 4 ha ha. Could you let us know and lets see what other people think about our Midlands/ staffordshire meet Thanks Tania X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbane or bust Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Don't think this pub has specific facilities for chidren so may need to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jogrant3232 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Everyone seems happy to meet anywhere but who is going to grab the bull by horns and make a decision as to where we will meet, not me by the way i am happy to meet anywhere, at this rate it will be in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest twinkleroo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Coventry would be good for us - we're in north warks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne10643 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Tania, The pub/travel lodge is called The Castlewood - it immediately off Junc 28 MI. It have an excellent play room for kids inside and out and is quite safe and plenty of room for the adults too. You can get a drink and/or meals at reasonable prices. I'm not sure if there is a website - but as it's not far from here I can pop in and ask any questions that arise if everyone decides to choose it.

TaniaColin Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi Annie that sounds good to me, I think more people seem to live that way than where we live. A sunday would be a gud day for us as i work everyday so we need a date now, so come on everyone lets be positive and try to work some dates out. What about the 22nd June???? Lets get our Midlands meet off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bonnie and Clyde Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 22nd is good for us - can't wait!!:jiggy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbane or bust Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 To all that are up for staffs meet; 22nd sounds ok to us, we may or may not have the kids with us as we haven't told them yet. We take it that it will be a day meet because of families. Are people having food or just drinks? As much info as poss would be great. Look forward to meeting people in same boat and hearing their stories. Here's to the 22nd or whatever date is best. p.s if petrol prices get any higher we will all need to meet up via web cam. just joking. lol.:biglaugh::biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jogrant3232 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 22nd is ok for us, well done guys a date set, now the hard part where, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne10643 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi guys, The place is to be the Castlewood Restaurant - its next to the Renaissance Hotel off Junction 28 M1. Take the road off to Mansfield and you should see the turning immediately on your left. What time do you suggest - morning would be good as it tends to guess busy towards lunchtime. Cheers Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaniaColin Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 I think majority of people would like food and a few drinks, shall we say meet about 11-11.30 so we can get settled in and then look at menus and get kids sorted for them who have them!!!! Are you ok about sorting things out Annie about numbers and things Thanks Tania X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne10643 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi Tania, That sounds like a good time. Yes I'll be delighted to do anything that is necessary - just tell me what you want me to do and consider it done. Annie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bonnie and Clyde Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks for the organising!!! Time sounds good. Will just be the 2 of us. Shall we all wear a pink carnation for recognition?!!:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
