Sussex Secondaries Lunch

Thanks Martha, I hope your friend will feel able to join us, it’s good to meet other women in the same situation and we have a laugh as well.

 

The next meeting is on Tuesday 19th November at Quay West pub Brighton Marina 12.30 ish

 

For those coming by car there is free car parking and plenty of disabled bays, there is a walkway/bridge from one of the carpark floors (maybe the 3rd but not sure). It will take you to a slope to the pub.

For those coming by bus, these buses go into the Marina 7, 21, 23, with the no 7 being most frequent at every 5-7 minutes, the no. 7 also comes from Brighton Station if you are coming by train. A couple of other buses run to the Marina too but are not regular. When you get off bus passed McDonalds and by Bowlplex go back the direction the bus came in and you’ll see a big building opposit MacDonalds, that’s the pub, Quay West. There are lots of stairs to the left as you face it BUT there is a disabled ramp/slope to the right which is much easier!

 

It would be lovely to see new faces and meet more lovely ladies so don’t be shy, come and join us. Feel free to PM me.

 

Have a good weekend,

Hello girls!

 

Sorry it has been a while, I’ve not forgotten you it’s just been a difficult/busy few months - nothing dramatic, just life!

 

I think we need to be a little more organized so that we do get relatively regular meets/lunches so I’m going to post the next four dates so we’ve got plenty of time to get them in our diaries.

 

At the moment they are mainly Tuesday and Wednesdays, if those dates are particularly difficult ie treatment days then maybe we could swap some dates.

 

The first one is Wednesday 2nd April, at 1 o’clock at the usual pub (Quay West) in Brighton Marina.

 

The next dates are Tuesday 13th May, Wednesday 9th July, Tuesday 19th August.That gives us about 6-8 week intervals.

 

I’m aware that most of our meets are in Brighton and whilst that’s easy for most to get to there may be other venues easier for some. Zara68 , I know that travelling isn’t really an option for you so if there is anywhere that you can easily get to where we could meet let us know and we’ll do a lunch/tea whatever closer to you. LizH hope you’ve now moved and settled and can join us . Ratsypan hope you are doing ok and can make the next one.

 

To my other regular ladies that lunch hope you can make it. It’ll be good to see you all!

Had a couple of replies so just bumping the post up. Would be good to see you lovely ladies on April 2nd xx

 

Moneck hello!

Sorry you’ve had to join the secondary gang. I was dx with bone mets 11 years after primary dx, it’s a shock isn’t it?!

Yes of course you can join us it will be lovely to meet you! :smileyvery-happy:

If you have any questions or want my email/mobile details just PM me.

Julie x

Really looking forward to seeing you all thisafternoon!

 

It looks like the Kent girls can’t make it this time but they send love and say hello.

 

At the moment I think we have, Me, Linda,  Lesley, Gel, Mags, Joanna and a very welcome new member Monica.

 

If there are any others out there who want to join us, don’t be shy just come along

Hello!

Just a reminder that the next  meet up is Tuesday 13th May. This time we’ll be meeting in Bexhill at the De La Warr Pavillion. It’s not too far from the station and there is parking close by too, parking in the De La Warr is expensive so better off using stret parking. Planning to meet about 1 ish.

Hope to see as many of you as possible, we welcome new members so don’t be shy…xx

Hi Julie,

I would love to come next week! See you there. Not sure how i will recognize the group?! I will hang around , hope i don’t look too dodgy and they throw me out!!

Liz xx

Looking forward to meeting the ladies from the east - Sussex & Kent!!

 

LizH, that’s great! Looking forward to meeting you! Trying to get an idea of numbers so you know what size of group to look for. Are you on FB?

 

Moneck it will be good to see you again if you can make it. I’m hoping that Linda and Gel will there, there wil also be another new face Zara, and hopefully a couple of the Kent girls.

Getting excited now!

xxxx

Looking forward to tomorrow though it looks like it will be a small gathering, just me Linda and Monica plus our two new girls Zara (Sophy?) and Liz. If anyone else wants to pop along, please feel free - the more:smileyvery-happy: the merrier…xx
