As we did last year, we will also be having a birthday meet in Manchester the week after the London one so that people who can't travel as far as London will still get a chance to celebrate. 🙂

Date: Saturday, 17th November 2012 from 11:00


Venue: The Waterhouse

Please let me know if you plan to attend! I'd also welcome any suggestions for a venue. I really liked the pub we went to last year, but am a little concerned that it might be a little difficult to find and also that if weren't lucky enough to take over that large-ish room people might be a bit more split up. Any locals, please let me know of any suggestions! 🙂

Am considering coming along. Have pm'd you. Hope you don't mind! Katie🙂
 
Am thinking about coming along to the Manchester meet, but am a bit apprehensive! 😱 Not normally the shy and retiring type, but feel (as I'm sure others have before me!) a bit nervous about it! (How daft am I!!) 🙂 Katie

Katie, it will be lovely to meet you - everyone is really friendly and you'll probably feel as though you know us already 🙂

Not at all my love, I've replied.

I can meet anyone again at Piccadilly........ just let me know what time your trains get in!
 
I'm planning on attending with my daughter Claire, she's my taxi driver but we'll probably do our usual when we've been into central Manchester in the past and get the train from Warrington to Piccadilly.

Has the venue been decided yet? If not if you go onto JDWetherspoon website there are a couple i've seen 1. The Moon Under Water which i think is on quite a busy shopping street then there's 2. The Manchester & County which looks from the little map on the page as though it's near Piccadilly. I've not been in either though so can't say what they're like inside. Hope this helps.
 
It will be great to meet you ad your daughter Gill 🙂 Venue not confirmed yet - hoping for a personal recommendation from a local - some Spoons can be much better than others!

What about same place as last year? I wouldn't pick a venue to close to Piccadilly.
I'll also have a think about other venues.

Yes, I agree about not picking one near to Piccadilly as there are likely to be lots of football fans around there pre- and post-games.

Have updated the venue now to the Waterhouse - as last year! Hopefully we can bag that room we were in 🙂

Brilliant, the room was good and I'm sure we can bag it....... let's get margb on the case:D
 
I shall be there early and if anyone is sitting at 'our' table will keep glaring at them!!! Or I could start singing to myself and make them feel uncomfortable - what do you reckon???

Looking forward to meeting up with everyone again, can't believe it is 12 months' since we last there though. Time is flying.
