Hi everyone, sorry I'm a bit late with the reminder for the York Meet!

As last year, the venue will be the Punch Bowl (Wetherspoons) near the railway station:

5-9 Blossom Street
York
North Yorkshire
YO24 1AU

Time: 12 midday onwards, although you can get there earlier if you want!

Hoping for a good turnout and nice weather in this lovely city! Please let me know if you plan to come along, or if you have any questions 🙂

I'm afraid I won't be able to make this one as it is just too expensive for me at the moment, but if you live closer do try and get along - it can make such a difference to how you feel about diabetes when you get to just sit and chat with people who know just what it is like! 🙂

Earlier? I think if your at a pub before 12.00 you got a problem 😉

Hehe! We often start at 11:00, but as it's a Wetherspoons coffee and breakfast is also available! 🙂
 
There are lots of pubs that are permitted to open at 8am or even earlier. Whether they actually do so is up to the landlord/manager. For example, there might be a business reason to want to open early if your pub is next to a market - but there's no point on non-market days. That's your taster lesson on the Licencing Act 2003. :D
 
Have a good time all im off to Wolverhampton that day x
 
Oh nooo, I don't think I can make it!!

On Sunday, I'm out because Carol is taking part in a dance show, on Monday I'm taking her to Manchester Airport. I'd be seriously neglecting the rest of my family, if I go out gallivanting on Saturday too :(

Yeah I know M got through to some darts final with 2 of his mates, so there hiring a minibus and a group of us are going up for support.

You're turning into quite the sporting success family! 🙂

It's a shame there's a clash Hazel, but you certainly deserve that holiday so I hope you have a lovely time! 🙂
 
Unfortunately i can't make it either as my daughter is coming to stay with me that weekend
 
Sorry I can't make it, looked at train fares and it is proving to be too expensive :(
 
Me & family stayed on a campsite below York & there is a boat that takes you along the river right into the ctr every hour. A lovelly city & lots to see. 😎
