Hi everyone, I am not going to manage it :( feeling much better after my operation last Thursday (managed to go out for a couple of hours this afternoon) but don't feel fit enough yet to make the trip down and I wouldnt want to be that far from home in case something happens. Really really wanted to come as I had a fantastic time last year :D. Hoping to be able to make the birmgham meet in September depending on finances.

Hope everyone has a fab time!

Thanks Alan 🙂
 
I'm really sorry I'm gonna have to bail out, I am so ill at the moment with pebbles pain,(really suffering at the moment).

I am gutted I really wanted to come, but I'm on my knees and don't think I can survive a car journey.

Sorry sorry sorry!

No apologies necessary Di! I'm sorry that Pebbles isn't long gone by now, but she will be gone in a few days and we'll all have a good time in Birmingham 🙂 Take care 🙂

Does anyone else want to meet in the station, by WH Smiths? My journey is a long one (setting off at 6am 😱) so has every chance of being late and I don't want people having to hang around for me, but if others would prefer to meet at the station please let us know 🙂

I haven't been to York railway station for about 100 years but happy to meet a loitering stranger outside WH Smiths any time 😉:D

6am???? 😱

perhaps Monica and I could meet up and have a coffee at the station (no idea of the facilities as I haven't been to the station for at least 20 years) rather than sitting in a pub at 11.15am LOL

.... and wait for others arriving by train around that time?

or does the pub get very crowded and we need to get a seat?

I think that's a good plan, if that's OK with you both. 🙂

Sounds good to me 🙂
Macast, WH Smith is just opposite the main entrance. I mean, come in through the main entrance and you'll see it. I'll wait there. There is a cafe in the station, but I have no idea where. Do you want my mobile number?
 
the cafe is opposite Smiths at 11.00 if you are stood outside Smiths looking back toward the entrance/exit. its also a pub so could be a possible starting point?
