There seems to be a growing number of people on here who are in Shropshire or close by. I would love to arrange a get together if anyone else is interested. I am in south Telford, which seems to be fairly central and am happy to host something subject to numbers. Am also open to suggestions, such as a room in a pub. Let me know what you think and also what day and time would suit.
-
Count me in and also Tin my OH. Telford is fine for us. Weekend is good. Pub is good.
-
Great. Hopefully we'll get a few more interested. I'll PM everyone when I have a few more names.

-

-
More the merrier. ;D
-
bit late to respond but count me in can make most times just need a venue looking forward to meeting like minded folk :) :wave:
-
At the moment somewhere near Telford is looking fairly central. I check out a few pubs. How will we know each other? Green wellies and straw in our mouths?
-
Can I be an honorary Shropshire person?
I currently live in Liverpool but am going to be working in Shrewsbury for at least the next 6 months, hopng to make it permanent!
-
Of course you can. You're plans are to move down this way anyway, aren't they, so you can meet us all before youmake the move. So far it looks like Telford is fairly central to all ( and nice for me as I won't have to travel far) so how about a pub in Ironbridge? Nice setting and we have some nice pubs. Does lunchtime suit everyone?
-
yes ironbridge what pub what date what time 8) 8)
-
I am right on the border, just down the road from Bishops Castle.
-
Join the gang then.
There's a lovely pub down by the river in Jackfield but I can't remember it's name so will need to find out. Is a Saturday best for everyone? I can do 11th or 25th Feb or 3rd,10th, 24th March. How about the rest of you? And what about time? I would suggest maybe meeting for lunch (they do nice food there) as we mostly have animals to see to in the evenings?

Not sure if the following is of interest to any of you or if its too far but i'll tag it on just in case but it is a smallholder group run by smallholder on a monthly basis with a different talk each month and then a get together afterward and you can sell and swap stuff or just pick people's brains, come along and check us out :wave:
