I'm in!

Nice one David - me & SWMBO will be there

Any decent but reasonably priced (yes I am a Yorkshireman) hotels nearby as we may just make a night of it

Chris.

I'm thinking the same, Chris.
If you hear something let me know and I will do likewise.

Oh no! does that mean we have to drink loads of beer & talk gibberish while the women shake their heads and roll their eyes? Sounds good to me mate

I'm sure Craig will be bringing the lovely Carol too if he can make it.

Chris.

Im in. If anybody needs a lift from Leeds/Bradford to Manchester and back let me know.

David,

Yes I will come to the meeting on the 20th July.

Thanks

Jack

Chris,  Try the 'Place' on Ducie Street, Manchester M1. About 5-10 minute walk from the B&O store and all new so actually worth staying in. As a B&O phile, you'll appreciate the decor! There are a few more (Malmaison in Piccadilly, etc) but not as interesting.Andy

I will post a list of nearby hotels later in the month - Andy has mentioned a couple already.  Will try and give guide ££'s.

Hi David, I will be there 100%. Carol will be if the coffee making skills of the staff are any good.

Thanks David & andyp

 

Chris.

I have wangled a half day that day so will be planning to come as well, train timetables permitting. Will be staying the night so a list of close hotels will be good!

Train booked, staying at The Place. Look forward to seeing you all there! Train arrives in Manchester just before 6pm.

Really looking forward to meeting you Peter and Mrs Peter (is it Eleanor?)
Just Googled "The Place" and it looks really nice though a little over my price range.
Looking for something a little more basic, just to get my head down and have a decent breakfast. Any ideas anybody?

Andy T.

Just me, I am afraid! Jo is my wife and Eleanor my daughter.

Hey Andy,

Try the Ramada in Deansgate, there is also a Radisson and a couple of Travelodges. Try:

Still waiting to hear about a potential rate in a not too far away hotel, but any of the above would be fine.

Our plan is to end up here,   www.mattandphreds.com , where the first round will, of course, be on us.  It's a great venue only 5 mins walk from the shop, offering nice food/drinks/live music into the ealry hours.  I am a member here, and so there will also be a preferential rate for food.

Regards

David

There you go, sorry it's the number of links that triggers this.

'fraid I can't make it no cheap flights from here left.

 

cheers,
