It's been decades since I went to a pub in Leeds, so I'm hoping that local members can recommend a venue? @Rosiecarmel - you have been to a couple now and have a good idea of the type of gathering we are and what kind of venues are suitable, can you think of anywhere? Doesn't have to be a Wetherspoons, but will ideally be somewhere large enough so we don't have to fight for seats, does food, and is easy to find within a short walking distance of the train station. Please let me have your ideas as soon as possible! 🙂

There is a Wetherspoons about a five minute walk from the train station called Becketts Bank. I think as far as Wetherspoons in Leeds go, this may be the quietest. I shall have a think about other possible venues and let you know soon 🙂

Thanks Rosie, much appreciated 🙂
 
Also ill definitely be going 🙂
 
I don't think you can beat Weatherspoon's. The buildings are kept spot on. As an electrician I look at these places & wonder how they got the cable to that camera or light without damaging the wonderful building. Mad I know :D
 
I'm gonna try and get a flight with Yorkshire Arlines failing that, National Express.
I hope to find a cheap hotel.
 
I'll be there - definitely. I've been wracking my brain all weekend because I knew there was something on 19th and couldn't remember what it was!
 
I got my ticket several weeks ago...when there were bargains to be had. It's been years since I visited Leeds so I'm not only looking forward to seeing my forum chums, but to taking a stroll down memory lane.
 
There is a Wetherspoons in Leeds railway station and there is another in millennium square which is about10 mins walk from station. I think the German market will be open that weekend, also in millennium square.😛
