Shropshire/Staffordshire mini-meet

[saintlyman]

Hello

There are several of us who are are fairly new and live in the shops/staffs area. Anyone fancy a coffee and a chat sometime soon? We could meet at Telford services - they have a Starbucks and Krispy Kremes(!) and then drive down to Ironbridge for a park up and chatter Or maybe you have another location suggestion?

How about Sat 12th Feb?

Chris

I'm all over that, our fave eatery is in Ironbridge

 

[saintlyman]

Ooh which one?
It’s been a while since I last ate inside in ironbridge (or anywhere really!). I quite like the smokehouse place, but often got stuck in the micro pub. Just couldn’t leave, too much choice!
The greenwood cafe just off station road is most excellent and their blue or jazz on a Sunday brunch was always good.

I would have loved to come and meet some new members but unfortunately I'm on call this weekend. Hope to see you on the next one but move it away from the middle of the month as I'm on call. Take care.

@saintlyman The Tea Emporium, their warm potato & chorizo salad is amazing.

@Parentalnightmare it's not today, it's next Saturday

This clashes with the already organised West Midlands meet, which I would have hoped that many might be attending already:

Yes I know, that's the weekend I'm on call, sorry.

Already organised West Midlands Meet ought to take priority (my apologies for not seeing that it was already set up and running) - let's reschedule the shrops/staffs one for end of Feb sometime?

I don't know that one, perhaps we ought to consider meeting and then driving over to an eatery/drinkery recommended by a different member on each time we get to meet up.

So just to bump this thread, how do people feel about the 26th or 27th (Sat or Sun), weather looks OK'ish atm.

Meet at Shifnal Services (M54 J4) then we could hit Ironbridge for some food and a chat by the river?

Any preference of day or time?

 

[Susie]

No either day, any time ...

 

[saintlyman]

I can do Sunday 27th - and I'd love to meet you lovely Elgrand drivers

 

[Andi66]

As sue said I can't wait to meet up, it will be most excellent, either day

 

[Dai-San]

Ok, so far Sunday 27th is looking good then, Midday sound like a good time? (Being Sunday everything closes @ 16:00).

 

[Andi66]

Yes, that sounds good to me. Looking forward to it. Xx

 

[Dai-San]

Just checking, do you mean Shifnal services near the turning for Donnington opposite the lake or the ones on A442 at stirchley.
