Oh I am getting all excited now, can't wait! This is the right tonic for me today as tomorrow I have a bit of a work ordeal (big conference) and was getting very depressed about the thought. Thank you for organising this meet!

Isn't this forum just great?
I was reading about all the meets recently and really wished I could go on 1. When I saw this last night I thought:
'I'd love to go, but don't 'know' (as in posted with) anyone.'

Then I thought I'd just go for it. I have had a not so nice 6 months health/split with partner wise and this forum has kept me going!

Have a nice evening and hope tomorrow goes well for you.

Caterina

Dundeedoll, thank you for the good wishes.

It will be great to meet you and all the others! This is what I love about this forum it is like being in a great big club of really friendly people!

I am so sorry about your health and the split, that is always such a difficult time isn't it? (((HUGS))) Well done for reacting and choosing to have fun!

Caterina - hope it goes well tomorrow for you.

Dundeedoll I have not been on a meet before so am a little nervous about it too but everyone seems so friendly I am sure we will be ok. Lots of time in the next few months to get chatting to people too.

Yes, there is.
I wasn't nervous about going because I don't 'know' anybody but because I didn't 'know' anybody I wasn't sure I'd be 'allowed' to go IYSWIM Silly I know..............Ooops.........there goes the door ..........again.................more cakes/sweets to hand out.........

I've never been on a meet either and am usually a bit on the shy side:o (yes really:D) and no doubt I will be very nervous about it but I'm sure we're all feeling the same.

To be nervous is quite normal I think, but everyone on this board is sooo lovely..........I'm sure it will be great fun.

PS Notice you and the Lord are in Worcestershire too!

If I don't go to London between now and Christmas (how could that only be 7 weeks away ????) I might have a voucher which would make it cheap to go to Bermingham...never been there and would like to a) see Caterina and her OH again and b) meet some of you I haven't met before.

So a very shaky 'maybe'

I'm from Birmingham but have never actually heard of this proposed pub :rotfl:
Birmingham Centre and surrounding can be a bit hard to navigate as sometimes walking along the road would take ages or isn't possible(ie, from Broad St to Colmore Row you come away from the Road and walk through an indoor forum and pedestrianised areas) so I'd get on google maps to see the landmarks along your route or I'm sure one of us locals could help.

I will try and help with some directions, I really need a power point presentation with associated pics so you can all see where you're going! Actually I might have a look at is it Google Street view? I might post some links so you can see WHAT Priory circus looks like etc.

Adelight - the pub is opposite the cathedral on Temple Row West, if you drove down Colmore Row and took the first available left that is Temple Row West and the pub would be on your right hand side. I only know this area as I used to work in building opposite the pub. I can even show you the spot in the square where I first saw my now Husband :rotfl:
