Today Grannylin and I finally met (and Theseus took us out to lunch grin) to talk about a South West meetup. It would be so good to get together.

So: how about Exeter in mid to late September? It seems a fairly central place, has an airport, good train service nice pubs lots of places to eat, and, if any of you, from anywhere would like to come along, please let me know, and I'll start to put a list together.

I'd be interested, but I'm away (on a cruise, unusually) from 20th to4th October.

I could combine this with a visit to dad in his home - so could be a goer - like me!

There'll be other opportunities, I'm sure.
I'm still favouring Somerset/Devon for our move - when we sell. smile

Looks like we can have a pre-meeting meeting on the train!
I shall probably be travelling form Westbury (Paddington to Exeter line)

Very interested. But I'm away from 16th - 21st September...
However, I realise you must suit the majority, so ..... que sera sera.

I'm still planing a visit to a friend who lives in Dartmouth so there is a very tiny chance that I could combine the two [and it is a 'very' tiny chance].

I'd love to join you but have a wedding - Lanc's - and our anniversary - Cornwall. So it all depends on the date!

Please keep me informed. smile

I think sept is going to be difficult as so many of us are away at different times. Might it be better to say oct some time?

I have no plans to be away, but might (fingers crossed) be gainfully employed in the not too distant future.

Of course I could always claim a long standing prior engagement? (I know that sounds a bit naughty, but I have known people, such as my most recent ex-manager start a new job when they already have things in the calendar)

Bump - in case anyone else is interested. Will look at dates when these two little DGS have gone home today and law and order returns and I have got my energy back!

Think I may have a venue, but all suggestions welcome!
