Hi SP,

you can fly from Southampton to Leeds-Bradford or Durham Tees Valley( Darlington). Both about 30 miles from York.
The flight from Southampton to Manchester is just up in the air and virtually down again.
Flying to Darlington from Southampton I haven't done - you might have to peddle a small plane 🙂

It's ?3.04 each way, plus ?90 for all the additional charges!😱 I caught the train one year and it took me 11.5 hours Southampton to Huddersfield. Last time I flew Southampton to Manchester it took 40 minutes in the air!
 
another person come begging for a lift to get me there and back to soton on the same day!! Trains are a tad expensive even with a railcard. I will split petrol and buy a diet beverage of your choice 🙂:D
 
sam - i'm thinking of driving to birmingham on the friday night, then carrying on to york on saturday. would it be easier for you to get to birmingham, then we can carpool it up to york? you wouldn't even need to pay any petrol - our company would pay for it all!!!

(and by 'i'm thinking of driving' i mean 'i'm going to ask dave to drive me')
 
So what sort of hi-jinks do you get up to on these meet ups then?

I'm a full-on old fogy who hates loud music and anyone under the age of 25 😉
 
Hi im sorry i wont be able to make this one, i tried in vain to get it off work but no such luck, hope you all have a good time and ill try and attend the next one 🙂

Em x
 
Guys, could I get some more confirmed numbers, as I'm trying to arrange something with a restaurant that I really like and think you guys would love too. (Also to see if we can get them to sign up to the DiDkA pledge - I think they will.)

So far, I know I have definites from:

Myself
Hazel
Richard (rhall92380)

And at some point in this thread there have been maybes from:

Sugarbum
Rossi
Nikki (Sofaraway)
Remrafs
Am64
Shiv
SweetGuy

So are there any more 'yes'-es from the maybe crowd, or any new people?

Reminder that it will be on Saturday 27th March, mainly York City Centre 11:30/12:00ish meetup.
 
Sorry Becky, can't really make it, me mate hasn't come back I think he's away travelling again! And can't really afford time at the moment, rossi's life is busy busy busy at the mo, hopefully another time.

Hope it goes well,

Rossi:D
