Birmingham UK Group Meeting?

[Al the optimist]

Anyone in the Midlands of the UK interested in starting a group? Maybe based in Birmingham as it is where most can reach easily? Or any other suggestion?

 

[Sue M]

It would be good to meet up! I could get to Brum by train. Of course Cov is nearer.

Hi Al and Sue...
just a bit further north than you guys near to Derby.

 

[Al the optimist]

Brum/Coventry/wherever. Lets see who is interested and then mutually agree something. I just said Brum because of the trains.

 

[andy.d]

I'm up for it. I'm in Birmingham

 

[Al the optimist]

Does that mean we already have 4? Any more?

Northampton??

 

[Al the optimist]

So are we going to do it? Get together? People expressing interest are Sue M (Rugby), Fiona99 (Derby), Andy.d (B'ham), Joe (Solihull), Travellingman (Northampton?) and myself (Wolverhampton). So I suggest Birmingham then. Sometime in October? What days are good for people? I suggest a weekday might be best to avoid football crowds. Venue suggestions?

Some of us have been discussing this. We have agreed to meet at the Bacchus bar underneath the Burlington Hotel in Navigation Street, Birmingham on Monday the 19th at 6pm. It is right next to New Street station. There will be 5 of us so far. Anyone else who wants to come is welcome to join us.

Hey, John, my camino angel! Glad to see you are still camino-ing. You may not remember me, but you very kindly walked with me from Ansiao to Rabacal back in May 2012 when my husband had a bad leg and had to get a taxi. He was worried about my walking alone and you kept me company. No need to reply, just want to say we have always appreciated your being there for us. Jill

Cheers Al and Andy. Lovely to meet and have a chat about Caminos and other shared interests. Look forward to meeting again. Shame the Bacchus was closed for a private function but peregrinos can always improvise (especially in Birmingham town centre!)

Just seen this about a Birmingham group - I live near Gloucester, so B'ham is an easy run up the M5.

Would love to join you, but on Monday 20th I will be on the Camino, somewhere around Villafranca del Bierzo!

Have fun, and hopefully I can get to meet up with you another time.

 

[Al the optimist]

I am easy on for Mondays until mid May apart from April 17th and 24th. (short Camino)
So any more suggestions?

 

[jonarv]

We can do 27th March, 3rd April, then it's countdown to Camino #2!
