I can't come :(

Eldest twin (8 yrs ) goes into hospital on 30th June for grommets and removal of adenoids, will be an overnight stay for us, and out on the Friday 1st July. Don't think it would be advisable for me to swan off on a jaunt the next day.🙄

There's always next time.

Hope you all do really enjoy yourselves - which generally seems to be the case, judging by recent photos!!

Aw, that's a shame :( Hope all goes well with the little one 🙂
 
Is there a venue for this yet?

I don't know York but is there a pub/bar/hotel close to the railway station to at least meet up initially?
 
Looks good to me!!!

Meet time?
 
12 is fine with me 🙂

I'll have to have a look at the bus timetable first to see which bus I'll take.
 
I've just looked at the bus times. I can be there for 11.05am or 12.05pm. In an emergency (someone arriving earlier by train) I could make it for 9.30😱. It just means I'll have to get my a*** in gear and get up early.😛

I'm all set to attend, but IF I have a problem with Carol and her pump (which she will have by then), I might cancel at short notice.
 
I just counted all the people who said they'd come.

There are 16 definites and 2 maybes
I didn't include SacredHeart in this, because she never actually said whether she'll attend or not.

Woohoo! Yes, I'm not sure about SacredHeart, I do know she is very busy at the moment, but hope she can make it. 🙂
 
I am on the 07:50 train from Glasgow that arrives at 11.41. I am quite good with directons so think I will manage to make my way to the pub😉... Are we having signs etc or will we just put our testing kits on the table... :D

Testing kits sounds like a good idea! 🙂 I usually try and sit near the door if I am first to arrive and watch if anyone is obviously looking around. On this occasion I won't be able to get there first, but hopefully some people can get there for 12 🙂

There are several Park & Rides dotted around the outskirts of York. If you're coming Tadcaster way, the best one I'd recommend is the "McArthur Glenn Designer Outlet Park & Ride".

have a look
I don't know of car parks, as we ALWAYS park & ride
 
Just noticed, Askam Bar is another one you could use🙂
 
Lol, not north enough for me....Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

I would love to come to York though, can you let me know what happens at these 'meets'.

Regards,
Sarah Jane

In true Blue Peter fashion, I will make a Lairyfairy badge. Just look for a red Lairyfairy (my avatar on other forums) or a blue butterfly 😛

Hi Monica, thanks for info - I know the outlet village well - pa is a contractor there and I go and do his site surveys for him. I'm actually considering getting the train. Just waiting for MargB to let me know how / what she is doing and then will decide. It is only ?28 return for me x
 
PS i know this is probably a daft question, but will

There be a new separate post the day before with details of pub we are meeting in and time ??

I'm a bit COD when it come to timings and places etc and get a bit panicky when meeting new people 😱 x
