Just returned from the Bristol meet up. Everyone got on well and enjoyed themselves. Thank you Mike for arranging everything. Anyone in the Bristol or surrounding area who haven't looked on the local Bristol site - please do. We are a friendly and welcoming bunch

Glad you had a good get-together, Sunseeker. It's the turn of the north-west Gransetters next Friday. Did you take any photos?

sunseeker Sun 26-May-13 19:04:52

Photos were taken - I think I need to negotiate with Mike the fee for him not to publish them! Hope your get together goes well

Thanks Mike for your enterprise and persistence in arranging Bristol meetup
Only five of us but we had a pleasant lunch and good chance to talk to all.yes the waiter took a photo of us with my camera .I'll put it on my profile.
Look forward to reading Mike's blog about his life in bristol since childhood.

Was good funsmile

Well done Mike! Sounds like your Sunday lunch went really well smile
Five is a very respectable turn-out. We've managed 3 for Brighton & Hove, and 4 for Worthing so far.
Hopefully in time the local meet-ups will become well-attended events, but us local editors need to know what our local GNetters want, so - get posting on the local forums, and tell us what you'd like us to organise! smile

We did have an excellent lunch and as a relative newbie it was good to meet others. I'll go halves with you on paying NOT to see the photos Sunseeker. Looks like we'll have to persuade Maniac as well smile

Maniac Mon 27-May-13 17:22:49

LizG .Lovely to meet at long last.If you'd like to have a private view of the photos (which are quite good)I'll send on email if you let me have your email in a p.m.

MikefromBristol Mon 27-May-13 17:30:28

Well done you ladies. Made it a really good day. Galen's place next time I think. The photos need to be published :-) Your Editors wish must be respected.

Galen Mon 27-May-13 17:47:34

Come on folks. Publish and be dammed.

sunseeker Mon 27-May-13 18:44:58

Ok - publish and be damned grin. I accept no responsibility for any mental anguish caused to those viewing the photos!

LizG Mon 27-May-13 23:15:19

no need Maniac I was really only joking but that was kind of you to suggest it. As everyone says 'publish and be damned smile and I apologise most sincerely for my very warped sense of humour.

Maniac Tue 28-May-13 12:17:06

Still having problem uploading new photos .Is it my computer or GNHQ?

MikefromBristol Tue 28-May-13 13:49:21

Excuses, excuses.

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 28-May-13 14:21:18

It is actually us blush. We'll get it sorted soon.

Maniac Tue 28-May-13 20:48:26

Thanks Lara it's sorted!

MikefromBristol Tue 28-May-13 22:11:40

Where are they? Was that waiter any good as a photographer?

Maniac Tue 28-May-13 22:58:07

Mike they are on 'My Gransnet >My Photos'

LizG Wed 29-May-13 08:47:02

Thank you Maniac, a good record. No Mike he wasn't, he didn't manage to make me look slim and sylph like grin

whenim64 Wed 29-May-13 09:48:13

Lovely photo - I've worked out who Mike is grin, and recognise Galen and Maniac, so which is Sunseeker and Liz of the two remaining Gransnetters?

sunseeker Wed 29-May-13 10:00:10

I am the one in the pink top.

whenim64 Wed 29-May-13 10:23:24

MikefromBristol Wed 29-May-13 12:31:49

sunseeker Wed 29-May-13 14:55:18

LizG Thu 30-May-13 07:14:59
