The Get Together Next Saturday
 

Well this time next week we will nearly have finished lunch. It looks like being a great get together and according to the list of those that are coming we are likely to take over a large part of the Cafe Rouge. Below are a list of all those who have indicated they will be coming. Please can you reconfirm this to be the case or else PM me to let me know so that on Tuesday I can book a table or two for us all.

The list so far is

LittleAnne - Anne
AFWife - Lily + 3
Kadjax
Katy131 - Katy
SylviaUK - Sylvia
Meggen
Sinbad - Steve
Tortie - Vanessa
Dawn Renee - Dawn
Tholian8 - Emily
Suleika - Gez
Fine - Fiona
Lissa UK - Lisa
LMK - Lona
Rasputin - Val
Nitwit - Lindy
Twiglet + 2


That makes a total of 17 low carbers and 5 extra. Think we will need 2 tables for that lot! I know that Deanna has sent her apologies as she will be moving soon. Anyone else who does not want to appear in the list, but intends coming should PM me please so that you are counted in.

How to get to Cafe Rouge, Victoria Place.

Enter Victoria Main Line Railway station and head towards platform 14. Go up the escalators which lead to Victoria Place. At the top you will see Dorothy Perkins on the right. Continue walking, keeping to the right till you get to Boots. As you go, if you look up to the floor above you will see Cafe Rouge (red of course) to your right. Then look left and see the escalators up to the food court.

Once up the escalators turn left and then left again to get to Cafe Rouge. It is likely that we will be sitting at the tables on the far right of the cafe. Afterwards we will probably decamp to the adjacent pub.

We will meet at the Cafe and I'll bring my Atkins book as well. I'll book the table in the name of LittleAnne. Remember to bring cameras and any photos you have to show your progress.

Here is a link to our last visit in December.

Victoria Place does have 2 ATM machines at the bottom of the food court escalators. There is also a Holland and Barrett as well as the Sweet Factory with its range of Sugar Free sweets.

PS Forgot to put the timing in this thread.

The aim is to arrive between 12 30 and 12 45 so we can place orders to eat before 1 pm. We may need to order in smaller groups, particularly if they get sticky about the vouchers. Will chat to them in the week.

After we have had and paid for lunch then you are free to leave or, as we did last time, adjourn to the adjacent pub to chat. Lunch is likely to end around 3 to 3 30.

yep definately count me in !!

What time should be aim to arrive.....

looking forward to saturday. Off to Boots tomorrow to get some of my digital photos developed - I have a couple of me that were taken on the day I started Atkins - boy did i have Hamster Cheeks !!! (-;

Hi Anne

Yes, I'm still planning to come. :)

Justed wanted to reconfirm. We are still going. There's 4 of us.

Can't wait to meet everyone.

Hugs,

I'm not going to make it, unfortunately :(
Just remembered I'm helping out a friend with a massage class (i get to be the model :thup: )
The class finishes around 2, so I might try and find you all in a nearby pub afterwards...

Seeya hopefully :)

ps Anne, please use my vouchers for a worthy cause :) Someone can tell me after how damn good those mushroom starters are ;)

I'm looking forward to the gathering - now, where did I put that voucher?

Sinbad - do come and join us when you've finished being massaged.

As you wish! hahaha :lol:

So far thats is 11 definate responses, sure there will be others. I have initially booked a table for 16 and will up this on Friday evening when more people have replied.

Change of seating area: We will be sitting at the back of the restaurant on the red seats, more comfortable, as they have changed their no smoking area. I have booked the non-smoking area.

I just realized I don't know what time we are meeting.

I printed the directions you gave to get there but it doesn't say what time.

Please inform.

Thanks,

Sorry, Anne, I misread the bit in your post about reconfirming :blush:

I will definitely be there :Party:

AFWife: Anne's edited her post to suggest we aim to arrive between 1230 and 1245 so we can order by 1300.

:yay:

THANK YOU!

See ya all Saturday.

:yay:

Hi Everybody!

Looking forward to Saturday to meet up with everybody!

Lindy

OH gees......the shirt I wanted to wear for Saturday has gotten way to big on me.

I'm excited, cause I mean really, I haven't owned a piece of clothing in a very long time that has ever been huge on me. Till now!

But I was really looking forward to wearing it. Oh well...maybe I'll try to hem it or something. I am good at sewing so I could try.

If not I'll be the one wearing all black.

Cheers,

Lily

Hi Lily

Great that what you intended wearing is too large for you. Doesn't that give you such a boost.

Numbers at the moment are 19 definate and 2? so will upgrated the table booking from 16 to 20 tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. I will check my computer around 9 am on Saturday, but after that I will be gone as I do aqua aerobics first.

HELLO!!

Sorry I'm so late in responding - the forum locked me out, so I had to start a new account! (something to do with my yahoo email address - long story!)

Anyway, it's Dawn Renee here - I'll be there!!!

Thanks for setting this up - I can't wait to meet all of you.

Best regards and see you tomorrow!

Dawn
