Birmingham Meet -15 October 2022

[Tim]

It must be a long time ago if they still had steam trains!

Steady on, I’m not that old yanno

Another note to add to the map. There is more than one exit to the station, so make sure you take any of the exits to Stephenson Street

 

[alpacasqueak]

I really hope I can get there! As long as the wonky brain and the naughty mini-pig are doing ok (and no train strikes!) then I will be! x

Hello I'm Ness
I'm new to the forum and would love to join you! One of my friends is a train driver so I can report if there's any problem as soon as my insider contact let me know!

That would be lovely if you can come.
Welcome to the forum.

Cheaper tickets seem to be on sale now.

 

[Merab]

Just booked my ticket

 

[AidaB]

Hope you all have a super time.
I was hoping to be able to come, but unfortunately a few things have happened(including extra work hours that week ) which means it’s no longer possible. Hopefully another time.

 

[Merab]

That’s a shame @AidaB .
It’s tough when work gets in the way of fun

 

[VickiA]

I’ve just booked my tickets. Will arrive at 11.50. Hopefully that will be early enough to meet up at the station.

Are you going from Crewe?
If so we may be on the same train.
I can’t remember the time I opted for but I’m starting in Liverpool

 

[VickiA]

Ooh we might well be! Mine leaves Crewe at 10.54. The ticket says it’s a West Midlands Train.

 

[Merab]

Just looked at my tickets - I’m going on the earlier train, getting in to New Street at 10:50, but returning on the 15:05 from New Street

 

[YvonneBlue]

I'm arriving at 10.30am and leaving 6pm. So if anyone wants to meet a little earlier drop me a message. If not I will probably spend all my money in the shops.

 

[Bradshaw Piggies]

I don’t think we can make it now
I have no dog care for Koda on a Saturday. Checked with the Wetherspoons and they are not dog friendly

But we hope everyone has a lovely time!

 

[Merab]

That’s such a shame @Bradshaw Piggies .
Maybe something will come up to make it possible for you to come.

 

[Tim]

I too am unable to attend, I have an appointment at 1pm I forgot about I could probably get there for 3pm, but that’s probably going to be too late

Have fun guys, I’m sure the locals will make you feel welcome

 

[Roselina]

Have a wonderful time everyone -

 

[Mother Hubbard]

Can't believe I hadn't seen this. OMG I so excited now. I'll be there, I've got something in the diary, but knickers to that....piggies first!

 

[YvonneBlue]

So looking forward to this, only just over a week to go now. Woohoo .

 

[Merab]

No news about a train strike either

 

[Merab]

Just checked.
No rail strikes planned for 15th so we will definitely be ok coming in by train.

 

[VickiA]

I am sorry to be a party pooper but I’m unlikely to be joining you all on Saturday. I’ve taken on rather a lot recently with 2 new courses as well as running my own little business. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’ll see how I feel on the day.

 

[alpacasqueak]

I’m still hoping to get there! All depends on my brain on Saturday morning so it’s being a well behaved one or I’m swapping it soon! Was really looking forward to meeting you @Bradshaw Piggies @Tim and @VickiA but hopefully in the very near future! x

It would be lovely to see you. xx

 

[Betsy]

I hope you can be there and that your brain decides to behave itself @alpacasqueak. Looking forward to meeting everyone again and for the first time if we've not met before!

 

[alpacasqueak]

It would be lovely to see you. xx

You too, finally! xx

Thanks too @Betsy! x

 

[Mother Hubbard]

I'm absolutely there....got my lift to the station, I'll be arriving into Snow Hill and wandering along to the pub and carrying a furry plush guinea and probably my TGPG t-shirt on...can't keep a good girl down!

 

[Betsy]

Can't wait to see you Lil!

 

[Lady Kelly]

I'm not going to be able to make it this time. Mentally and emotionally with everything that's happened this past month I am just not in a fit state to attend. Hopefully next time

 

[Sweet Potato]

I'd completely forgotten! Damn I need to get myself a diary. Hopefully I'll still be able to come
