:yesyes: Yes indeed you can count me in. The benefits far outweigh all the anxiety before hand.

I most definately need to have something to focus on after a bad few days here in my cell plus of course I want to see all my new friends again after such a positive time last month.:D

Hi All:D

After talking to Gary I think we will go back to The Alverbank as it seemed to tick all the boxes and there is a big garden so Ellen can bring Buddy and Ollie if she comes:yesyes:
I suggest either 26th July or 2nd August as suitable dates but this is up for discussion obviously:shades:

Has anyone heard from Celeste from the last meet up or Goodlife from the Fareham meet???? If anyone is in touch could they please alert them to this one???

Right over to you:whistles:

Hi All:D

In view of what Lynn has posted shall we change it to the end of August:D

Also Lynn would you be ok to come to the Alverbank hotel from where you are staying.....not that far away near Lee on Solent????

Or we could have one in july and one in August

Thoughts please:shrug:

Sorry I've not been around here just lately. I'm in a curious limbo stage between building upon the success of attending the last meet-up and one or two problems with family and friends that seek to sap what energy I have. I mention this only in reference to my lack of posts here. My enthusiasm for these get-together's remains undiminished however.:)

:yesyes: I second having one in July and one in August. Personally I should like to go to as many as possible because the benefits, particularly for someone like me who simply doesn't go out otherwise, are unrivaled. Also, rather obviously, it gives people more options and therefore possibly less pressure.

Topic due for a bump do you think?

Looks like another cosy get-together then. No problem. If we're the same line-up as last time it'll be splendid none-the-less. Perhaps I'll be more relaxed and chatty this time. Am I the only one who thought "Everyone else seems far more at ease than me"? 'At ease', being a relative term in our case of course. Although we all look pretty 'normal' from the photos. Blimey I'm going to have to find a different set of clothes to wear. Sadly I do worry about this sort of thing.

Still undecided about getting a car. The one I initially wanted looks to have gone but another, perhaps better spec, is sitting there giving me the eye! I think the decision would be much easier if I had a garage or a spot to park right next to the house. A bat-cave, that's what I need!:D

That's about all I have to report for now. I'm doing 'ok' and hope you are too :)

kazzie

Ive been totally out of the game for days now due to being poorly but I will be fine for the meet up:hugs:

@Kazzie: Sorry to hear you're not too chipper. Maybe a bit rundown from all that you've had to deal with lately perhaps? I hope you'll soon be feeling well again. :bighug1: Hey you'd better be alright if I get this car because I'm taking us shopping! :yesyes:

@Thumper: Hi and welcome to the forum. Hope you make it along to the meet. From reading your posts I'm sure it can only do you good to get out and meet some new people - even if it's just us lot! :) It's so easy to get pulled down by the weight of depression. Something I know only too well. If you need to talk anytime just PM me.

:ohmy: Good grief look at the time, it's tomorrow already!

Morning Ellen. I'm sorry you're also not too bright at the moment. I hope the clouds soon roll by and let in a little more light. :bighug1:

05-07-08, 20:33
i wanna come but can you confirm day, date and time please! i ALSO am not sure quite where you mean, i use to live in Emsworth and came to Bosham meet but are you now going wayyyyyyyy nearer S'hampton?:shrug:

Provisional time and date is Saturday 26th July at 2pm. Plus there is also a plan to have one in August too pending enough interest.

The location is the Alverbank Country House Hotel (http://www.alverbankhotel.co.uk/), Stokes Bay Rd, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 2QT - 023 92510005. If the weather is kind to us again we can use the garden. See the Gallery to witness how spacious it is. Even the wedding party that arrived while we were there failed to make the place feel crowded. Another plus point is the car park, which is in clear sight of the garden, so nobody need feel trapped.

Find it here at Google Maps (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Alverbank+Country+House+Hotel&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=10.572813,27.246094&ie=UTF8&ll=50.787191,-1.159573&spn=0.011042,0.026608&t=h&z=15&iwloc=A) page. They will also plot directions (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?li=d&hl=en&f=d&iwstate1=dir:to&daddr=Stokes+Bay+Rd,+Gosport,+PO12+2QT+%28Alverban k+Country+House+Hotel%29&geocode=9610902731946845324,50.785631,-1.161504&iwloc=1&dq=Alverbank+Country+House+Hotel&cid=50785631,-1161504,17205304135499598098&ei=3AxwSI68Eobk2wLogt2WBg) from your start point.

If you've never used Google Maps before then you're in for a treat because not only does it offer you accurate street plans but you can also navigate freely using satellite images. I once took a virtual trip from my house in Gosport, along the A32, up Stoke Road, over the ferry and ended up in Southsea. :blush: Sounds a bit sad I know, but the technology really is incredible. Perfect for agoraphobics like me. I was thinking of going to London next then perhaps a trip to Spain.:D

Somebody here has too much time on their hands, don't you think!?

I was working from your post here (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showpost.php?p=352347&postcount=6) Kazzie: "I suggest either 26th July or 2nd August as suitable dates but this is up for discussion obviously"

I can't see the 31st mentioned anywhere else in the thread but it wouldn't be the first time I've missed something obvious :blush: As always, any date is good for me.

kazzie
08-07-08, 15:32
Im so silly sometimes:whistles:

The meet up is indeed on 26th july, I was getting muddled with the last one rofl:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Sorry for the confusion

08-07-08, 17:41
That's ok Kazzie despite all the evidence to the contrary I still wasn't convinced I hadn't missed something. I can be a bit scatty with dates. Well scatty generally perhaps, but I like to think it's one of my more charming, playful features. :shades:

So the countdown begins then. Lets hope for good weather again.:cloud9:

A reminder of where, when and how to find the Alverbank for our meet-up:

Date:
Saturday 26th July

Time:
2pm

The location
Alverbank Country House Hotel,
Stokes Bay Rd,
Gosport,
Hampshire,
PO12 2QT

Plus if you click back to my earlier posting here (http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showpost.php?p=356939&postcount=19), you will find two links to maps and directions courtesy of google maps which makes route planning quite easy. But please don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it. :yesyes:

@Ellen, I'm feeling really awful too, and have been for a couple of weeks now at least, so my thoughts are with you. I'm going to have to push hard to be there but I'm determined because I know it will do me good. Wishing you strength for the day. :)

kazzie if not working i'd come for sure, please let me know the next meet date i'll book it off in advance!!!!!!!! around Bosham is better for me, s'hampton a bit far but willing as always to collect Trac from Gosport if i'm able to come!

Kaz take some pics please love x

gary_2.0
23-07-08, 01:32
still not 100% sure will let u know xx

I understand completely. Try not to think about it until the day itself then see how you feel. I came so very close to backing out last time, and there's no guarantee I'll be at this one. I was very quiet and felt extremely vunerable and nervous but of course I'm so glad I made it and had the chance to meet some new people.

I'm stating the obvious here aren't I?

Just wanted to say that we all understand and share your fears so best of luck on the day.

And that goes for all of us. :)

Karen
24-07-08, 01:53
I might've been able to try this one but unfortunately I'm supposed to be moving this weekend so I can't make it.

Maybe the next one.

Have a good time guys :yesyes:

Why is it all the other meet up's have quite a gathering,is it something to do with being in the South!!!!!!:weep: :weep:

I hope more people will be able to make it in the future. In my view the Alverbank is a perfect place to meet. So relaxed, peaceful and safe.

Sax
24-07-08, 21:39
There were quite a crowd at the Bosham meet if you check out the pics! I guess its just timing and dragging Nic/Alex and Meg/Jess etc all down from 'up there' and hoping its suitable for lots eh!
Wish I could come but defo another time x

kazzie
25-07-08, 12:08
Ellen:hugs: Bless you but I wont be alone Roger will be there!!! So you do whatever makes you feel comfy:yesyes:

I think the reason we dont get very big turn outs is like Sax said its not central enough, we are kinda out on a limb down here!!! That said I personally prefer the smaller meet ups because you get to chat to everyone there:yesyes:

Gary if you still want a lift can you text me so we can arrange time and place please:D

Thumper hope you have a safe trip down here and also hope to see you tommorrow:yesyes:

I dont know whats happened to Celeste or Goodlife who have attended other meets:shrug:

Oh nearly forgot Bluesparkle.....are you able to make it this time:shrug:
