Title: Newark-on-trent to Notts
Post by: RACR on June 01, 2010, 13:39:10 PM
can anyone help on monday, tues or wednesday next week please by meeting a cats owner in newark and bringing to me in Nottingham. I know its not far but we need the cat in on one of those days. It is half term and my son has ASD and doesnt travel on public transport. I was going to go myself next week but my sons school is closed to repairs on building work so cant :(

If no-one else can help I'll be able to do it but I'm at work until 5 every day so would have to go after work.  Proably wouldn't get to Newark til about 6:00.

I can do anyday so just pm me the day you want me to do it; a post code (so sat nav can find it) and a contact name and number if you need me  ;)

Its newark-on-trent.

The idea is to arrange to meet her there as she actauly lives in south kirkby but arranging for someone to meet her at newark-on-trent if anyone knows of any spots there? i dont know the area.

Confused now !- Do you want me to pick up the cat from Newark on Trent and then meet Sam - or is Sam picking up from Newark ?
I know Newark pretty well as lived there until i was 30 .
Do you want to pm me the address ?

sorry Bungly I'm interferring!  I offered to help if no-one else was gonna do it.  As the cat is coming from South Kirkby I thought it would make sense for someone to meet it at the services as suggested below.  The cat will then need bringing to Nottingham and handing over to Andrea.  It's upto you if you fancy doing it.

Hope this make a bit more sense now.
