Hi all,

As you know, David Mond has very kindly offered to sponsor a get together of forum members. This one is going to be called Thrifty Friends to differentiate between that and the official Frugal Friends meetings.

This one is provisonally sorted for Saturday 18th July at the County Hotel, Walsall, which is the same place we had the Christmas party last year.

We will be having a private room again and there will be a buffet served. We should have a few professionals on hand to answer any questions anyone may have.

There are rooms available for anyone wishing to stay overnight, I am currently awaiting confirmation of the price as I hope we will be able to do the same deal as last year. As soon as I know the price, I will post it on here, together with details of the hotel. It is quite easy to get to, and anyone wishing to travel by train, we can arrange a lift to and from the station.

Any newer posters on here - please try to come along, it's a great night out, food and drink are supplied and all you have to pay for is a room (if you are stopping) and transport to get there.

Everyone is welcome, parners included.

If people are interested, can they let me know on here, together with how many will be attending?

Thanks

Thats great that David is helping out...unfortunately we won't be able to make it, our new grandaughter is due to enter this world on the 17th [:)]

I know you'll all have a good time....Thrifty Friends [:D]

Yep...we are good to go for that date....in diary

so...changing the name...does that mean there will still be a Frugal Friends....???..at some point too??
very confusing....

Julie that's too bad! I was so hoping to meet you as well.

Count us in as well!

It unearthly o'clock in my house and up as usual! but as soon as it's a more realistic time to hunt out diary in workbag I will check this and confirm!

A definite date for hubby and I (not that I've told him yet), will need to find a dog sitter and someone to care for my daughter but that should be a formality. x

How kind of David to sponsor the new Thrifty Friends, love the name by the way[:)]...Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend this one[:(].I'm sure it will be a really nice evening for everyone who can attend though, to be able to put faces to names etc..[:)]

It'll be good to see you Lesley, and it's a shame you can't make it DM xxx

Looking forward to meeting you too Skippy and of course all others. I'm fairly excited, not mentioned it to daughter yet as she generally comes everywhere with us, I'll get around to it before the date. x

I'm still waiting for confirmation of room prices, I shall have to ring up again tomorrow!

Looking forward to meeting you Lesley.

Hoping a fair few others are going to jump on board as well. Perhaps they haven't seen the thread yet as it's been a nice weekend for doing things.

[:D] Can we come? [:D]

Please come Mrs S, it'd be great to meet you!!!

Yes please Mrs S. Can't wait to meet you.

You are now on my list.

I would love to come, dependent on prices of course but the date is free.[:)] (have to get a map out to see where the heck Walsall is.[;)])
