I will try to make it this time, but with the same old proviso - it all depends on my elderly mother-in-law, who has just come out of hospital again today and I won't know until shortly before.

i am wondering if Christine, RachelWD and EmmaB might want to join me then i will defiantely be there! ;)

or anyone from my neck of the woods really, just so i dont have to travel alone.
 
Clare, I don't mind hun, whatever is easiest for you?
If you want to do that that's cool, if Matts around we'll do the same as last time and get him to drop us at the station, saves either of us paying for any parking :))

This is really esxciting! Potentially 15 people if everyone does come! :(|)
 
Yay! It would be great if you could make it also!
 
I *** quite like to come too but apprehensive about going on my own and not knowing anyone. I am a bit shy and not done anything like this before.....

Don't worry, we are very friendly and for lots of people it will be their first time meeting up as well.

It would be great of you to come along and talk about all things piggie, nearer the time will pm mobile number so there is no chance of missing you at the station!
 
would love to come, but i'm in my final year at uni, and finish in 4 months!!
so alot going on :/
and it's gig season at work...meaning lots of shifts :/
hopefully i can make it next time!

Just try to jump over your shadow - we all look and are reassuringly commonplace. The first five mimutes are always the worst - after that it is usually chat chat chat. You've got one big advantage with a meeting like that: there will be a lot more other first timers like you, but you can always talk piggies with each and every of them and they will actually be interested for once! :))


PS: I have found it very helpful if we could wear little name badges with the forum name and real name on these occasions. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can stay on or current visiting rhythm, so the meeting falls on a MIL free weekend!
 
we could all make guinea pig hats...no only joking......the first meet up I did not on this forum 8 of them actually stayed over in an apartment! and they didnt know each other! ") I went but only stayed for an hour or so..it was fun....

Are we still going ahead with the 4th? :)

Clare are you still unable to make this date? Would be lovely to finally meet!
 
Hi I've asked about altering my hair cut & colours on the 4th but they dont have anymore slots so I can't move it, can't ask for an evening appointment as I live 20 miles from the salon, it's a Groupon deal and runs out following week so I can't cancel, I'd lose £30.
What time is everyone staying til? Asking as the appointment will be finished in Solihull 3.30 - 4pm it would take about half hour to get back by train but I could get to the pub between 4 - 4.30pm or would you all be leaving then?
Would love to get to this but I could only make late afternoon/early evening.
 
Still on for the 4th Feb!

@Alisiont - Will pm you my mobile (if your haven't got it) and you can text when you come out of hairdressers, I reckon on past experiences we'll still be there! Be great to see you and your new haircut! x

Thanks I'm hoping they don't take ages but colours and a cut is usually 2.5 - 3 hours - cut won't hopefully take long as I'm trying to grow it so only want the back tidying up. It's a good 15 mins walk to the Solihull train station then 10 mins to Moor St and 10 to the pub so think earliest would be 4pm more like 4.30pm - hope everyone can hang on so I get to see you all!
 
I'm more than happy to spend a few more hours in the pub to meet you Alison, I can't guarantee that I'll be overly coherent though :))
