Another maybe... Will depend on whether I have a job to fund it by then!
 
I have mulled this over. Sadly, I think I will have to decline.

6.5 hour train journey EACH way, leaving only just over 3 hours a the venue, all dependant on trains runnig to time - in January, ...............maybe not.

Perhaps, if there is an extra Manchester meet, I will definitely be there.

That is quite a trip Hazel, I think you are right though, it would be risky in January and with only 3 hours you'd probably feel like you were leaving as soon as you arrived 😱

He has no interest in it, and I prefer to come alone something for me to do on my own if you understand x
 
I know Oxford really well - I lived there for 30 years and was responsible for licensing premises for the City Council when the law changed a few years ago so I know ALL the pubs. I'm trying to remember what the Four Candles used to be - was it Yates's? There are so many in George Street!
