My friends, who have a place near Lydney, are, most kindly, giving me shelter over the Bank Holiday Weekend 5th, 6th & 7th of May - how about a gathering at Taurus Crafts on the Sunday [6th] or Monday [7th]? There may be others amongst my party as I will need to con my friends into giving me a lift down there but as all of them love Taurus it shouldn't be too hard to convince them. There could be up to 6 of them!
Which day and which time?
I favour the Monday a bit but am open to being convinced otherwise.

p.s. I will probably have to leave no later than 3 p.m. Monday as I have to get to Bristol to catch a bus to Manchester.

Oh dear. Not only can I not do the 5th because of a wedding, but I also don't get the Bank Holiday on the 7th. And I'm guessing Sunday will not suit the majority. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Sorry if it spoils your hopes, Qlib, but Monday would be a better day for us, though Sunday is possible.
In fairness, either day is OK - as far as I know at the moment, I will not be expected to be doing anything on the Sunday and I can take steps to ensure that it stays that way - so we will cheerfully go with the majority on this one.
Taurus is about an hour from here, so we can fit around most timetables.

Thinking about it Sunday is probably as good for me as there would not then be a panic about getting back to Bristol on time for my bus - and my hosts there would be happy either way.

Sunday is do-able, but not before 13:00 (I have a preaching engagement outside the parish at 11:00).

That Sunday is my only free one between now and then, so it seems meant.
On the other hand, I am free on the Saturday too, so I can go with the majority.
Is this a child friendly meet?

I don't think I can manage Saturday as that is the day we will be moving over to The Forest and we may not be up terribly early. It looks like Sunday is the day - if nobody objects in the next 24 hours I'll change the thread title to reflect that.

If it is the Sunday, as I said, we (St Gwladys and self) can make it, but not before about 13:00. Whilst I can make sure that I don't get any bookings at home for that day, the morning in Oakdale was arranged 12 months ago - a bit set in stone, as you might say. The proposal at the moment is that St G will come with me to that, and then we will head straight to Taurus as soon as the service is over.

Taurus is the Venue, but what time?
I will keep my rota's clear.

Okay, 24 hours are up and I have changed the title to reflect that we will meet on the Sunday. The venue will be Taurus Crafts, just to the west of Lydney, to the west of the roundabout where the bypass takes off and on the north side of the road.
Knowing that some will arrive a little late can I suggest 12.30 as the time I will be there from - terrible sentence construction there! I'll be the tall-ish, elderly, slim, debonair, Quakerly, good-looking one - possibly wearing a silly hat.
Elderly for certain!

Taurus is certainly a child friendly sort of place - how friendly a crowd of axe-murderers from the internet will be remains to be seen. Plus my friends will probably be there: 2 teachers and 3 retired lecturers.
And me, but I'm a sweetie!

It's in the diary. Might not get there for 12:30 but 13:00 should be OK.
Lydney is only a few miles away as the crow flies - but I ain't a crow and it's 33 or 35 miles by road. Probably the latter as I'd rather not pay the Severn Bridge toll

Yes, what is this unreasonable prejudice against axe-murderers?
@moonlit door: Some Quakers only stop talking during the Silence. Starting fights: rare, but not entirely unknown.

Not sure if I'll make this. Sundays are work days so it'll depend on the rota and public transport from Bristol to Lydney which probably isn't great on a Sunday! Will let people know nearer the time!

This from a man who sometimes tries to engage me in conversation on our morning walk - and that is before breakfast!!! I was brought up in a truly British household where conversation was limited to grunts until well after breakfast.

Having just been alerted to the fact that this isn't actually that far away (geographically) from me, I'll say a tentative yes. No *idea* what life is going to look like by then, but hopefully we'll still be here and in enough funds to get to the meet...

I have let it be known, but he is no longer interested in women.
The wife and children who lived in his head and jumped out to play with him have vanished. And he looks totally blank when I ask about the little girl at school with whom he planned a large family.

Getting back on topic...
Life is, as ever, somewhat unpredictable in the birdie household. I've made a note of the date and since this meet doesn't involve needing precise numbers for booking anything, I might turn up on the offchance.

Lord Pontivillian is likely to be home for that Bank Holiday weekend, so he's likely to be there after all! Darllenwr is preaching in another church that morning, and there would be ructions if the congregation at our church found out Lord P had been home and they hadn't seen him, so he'll probably travel up seperately. He's likely to get there before us.

It's on the calendar! We shall see what happens. Groover is going through a phase of more-than-usually-challenging behaviour at the moment, and I'm a bit reluctant to inflict him on innocent bystanders, but that could easily change.

Why don't we just turn the pair of them loose on Lord P (as we did at St Fagans) and leave them all to get on with it?
