Brum meet...

[Ally]

And me.

Leaving at 8:30 ish is good for me, but what about arriving? Will it be 11 ish, as per usual?

That sounds about right WM.

>>>>>>>off to look at the menu.

[Ally]

Now why didn't I twig this before!!!

Just looking at the menu for the Old C's and I see it's a Nicholson's establishment.

Don has shares in Mitchell & Butler's and every year gets sent a booklet entitling us to 20% off meals and drinks at various pub eateries......

.....Nicholson's is one of them!

That'll make a difference to the bill!

Woo hoo!

[Workingman]

I was just wondering about the train v the coach, given the saving on digs, and that little extra settles it.

Plus, at the times we are thinking about, the return is direct - no change and wait in Sheffield.

[Kaz]

Ooh Ally, that's handy!

Frank, that will be a better journey for you

[Workingman]

I know Kaz, the coach back stops in Manchester and does not get in to Leeds till 0:25am unless I get the teatime one at about 6 pm.

[Kaz]

Definitely the train then!

[JoM]

Well I've decided on the lemon tart for pud

Yep, definitely the train Frank!

[JoM]

Wonder if we could tempt Ossie to join us - there are pork and haggis sausages!

[Kaz]

That would be great

[JanB]

I had reçlly hoped to get over this year, to see you all, properly.

However, that not being the case, sadly - can we skype again?

Hopefully WM will have been over before then, to sort out the laptop If not, then I can ask Steve or use the desktop.
