midlands gathering

[scott&ligaya]

Hi everyone,
as promised a few weeks back before my travelling escapades I would like to arrange for a get together of our midlands based couples. There is a huge car boot sale every Sunday morning just outside Studley(Redditch). I have yet to meet a Filipina who does not enjoy such an event so and the local pub is close by for us hubbies whilst our honeys scour the site for all manner of "it was cheap" and "it will go in the balikbayan box" items


BOSS I HOPE LINK IS OKAY

As for dates we could try and make a double event by meeting early say 9.30 am at the car boot and going on to the Barrio Fiesta in Birmingham on the 21st June (down side is that the pub is not open at that hour) or go for July 5th or 12th. Give me some feedback on dates and we will see what works for the majority

hope to see you soon

Scott

Hi Scott,
Birmingham Barrio Fiesta is on the 28th and 29th, but maybe that's what you meant to write, unfortunately Louella is working all that weekend, but were OK for both the 5th or the 12th of July. Were also OK for the 21st of June if that's what you did mean to write.
Cheers,
Iain.

Hi Iain,
just spoke to Marlo the president of Filipino assoc of Birmingham, the fiesta is 20th/21st however I have just realised that 21st is also fathers day so perhaps not the best day so 5th or 12th looks better.

[Ji&Ma]

12-th looks good for me too so far - nothing planned for that weekend yet although I'm not 100% sure if I won't have some work duties. Hopefully not...
Pity my mahal isn't here yet

[mavid]

I'd love to go...will ask the future hubby!

[scott&ligaya]

Hi MAVID, where are you guys in birmingham?

[mavid]

Hi MAVID, where are you guys in birmingham?

Hello Scott & ligaya...we are in Erdington I just checked on google maps and it seems it takes about 20mins by car to get to Harbone

[scott&ligaya]

yeah probably about that. Are you working at Heartlands? or are you at home during the day time?

[mavid]

Hello Scott & Ligaya

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not working yet here at the Heartlands hehehe and yes I'm usually at home during the day time

[scott&ligaya]

Oh I see, well Ligaya is home most days with little prince and can get a bit bored. Do you know the bus system well to come to Harborne or perhaps I could get you girls to meet up in town centre one day during the week.

Scott

[scott&ligaya]

Just a reminder

The Birmingham barrio fiesta is this week end at Woodgate Valley Country Park


and

an opportunity for our honeys to practice their negotiation skills is at the Studley car boot sale will be

12th July early for those best deals

[scott&ligaya]

hope to see some of you we have not met and re make aquaintances at the Birmingham barrio fiesta over the weekend. For me just look for the blue and white rugby shirt with chinese characters on the front and footprints on the back

TTFN

Well here I am waiting to board a flight from Shanghai to Dubai amd I thought I would remind anyone interested in this planned get together on Saturday 11th at the Studley car boot sale. If the wetaher is good it is great fun for our ladies and us blokes can always bring a couple of beers. I think we should plan to meet up at a certain time say 10am (it can get very busy getting in any later but I appreciate some may have over an hours travel.

welcome to any thoughts/proposals on this suggestion, I am back home on Wednesday but can check the thread when ever I am not in the air

Dubai here I come (lucky me is staying at the Burj al arab) courtesy of an old client of mine at the Jumeirah beach Co.

[Jenky]

OK see you at Studley car boot early July 12. I am from Worcester and will be the one escorting my Fil wife and our two young girls.

[scott&ligaya]

ok but it is Saturday 11th

[scott&ligaya]

Having just got back from my travels I checked the website for the Studley car boot sale and guess what. jenky is right it is held on SUNDAYs. So the planned gathering will be this SUNDAY 12TH not 11th as previously indicated.

LEAH, this means you and your honey can attend without interfering with his birthday.

SORRY GUYS but I have been real busy whizzing around the world and just did not check properly. I hope you can all still turn up.

[scott&ligaya]

See you Sunday around 10am, just look for a pregnant filipina with a tall bloke in a Dive Palawan tee shirt.

Ian
Jenky
Leah
Mavid
Ji@Ma

if you want I will PM my mobile so we can meet up

[IainBusby]

it is held on SUNDAYs.

That's what I thought.... and guess what, the weather forecast for tomorrow (Saturday) looks dreadful, whereas Sunday's weather forecast looks quite promising. See you there Scott.

Iain.

[Ji&Ma]

Hello to all
How was the car boot sale etc.? Hope you enjoyed it very well as it was reasonable weather yesterday.
My apologies that I've been unable to come and see you bunch but been stuck at work for the best of the weekend

[scott&ligaya]

It was fun. The sun arrived just as most of us got there. Leah(less than one week in the UK) got to meet Louella, Janet, Annilyn, Jane, Cynthia and Ligaya. We retired to the Horse and Jockey for lunch (2 for 1 main meals are always a hit with Filipinas) and the men discussed music, cricket and the anual trips to the Phils.
