everyone seems to have forgotten - a night out in leeds?

[minimax]

I'm thinking some sort of spring pissup, leeds/harrogate based, everyone get there with plenty of time to have a few pre pre drinks before moving on to the pre drinks and finally the drinks at about 7pmish?

followed by dinner somewhere fitting..and shape throwing (damn, picked that phrase up somewhere ) until the early hours..

who's in?

since PistonFest is end of april, suggestions will be gratefully received for suitable dates - how about mid/end of may? should give everyone enough time to moan about getting time off from the family/work/whatever


come on then!

give us your thoughts....

Count me in. May sounds OK, but can't do the weekend of the 20th (wedding). In fact, I'm a bit bored now, TBH...

well i'm all for holding it a bit earlier in april that won't be a problem...I think that others may have an issue rearranging their diaries though

mawds said:

Sounds good. How about the 15th? This is a purely selfish suggestion, as I'm in Biarritz the week after, and then it's PF. Leeds or HG?

yeah ok then, I can do the 15th


how does everyone else feel about mid april?

[minimax]

so... so far we have the 7th or 14th of april as a potential date, how do people feel about this? is it too short notice?

shall we leave it to later on in may?

I don't mind holding it in mid-ish april at all, and i'm happy to do the organising

And Tom's from....? Just vote.

a-ha!

due to a change in circumstances I might well be a yorkshireman soon!

just got to decide whether I want to stay in london...

[minimax]

come on then compadres let's get our act together, I shout may as a definite month, how about it?

so what about early (is that the 8th) may or mid/late may?


anyone?

[minimax]

so....may 13th it is.

ladies and gennel'men put thy names down for a roister thou shall never forget!

all those in favour say aye!

[minimax]

so 13th may it is, and in harrogate shall we say?

it seems that having talked to lois and explained that harrogate to myton is definitely only 20 minutes away (as mooted by our esteemed GP friend above ) it looks like she willing to make the long, arduous trek from myton to harrogate/york and back..

any preference on venue then fellows?

I've never been out in harrogate so that gets my vote

I'm sure someone local would give you a pointer if required. The other way would be to drive the route the day before so that you know where it is and can find it more easily the next day.

one step ahead of you there bob lad

[minimax]

righty-ho come on you lot!


13th may in harrogate for about 7pm, eating somewhere reliably multee-nashnal in order to guarantee suitability? or shall we just have curry (and a competition to see who can imbibe the most powerful )..

any objections to the above?


shout out!

mawds said:

orchid? - always used to be a safe bet (but then it's a few years since I lived in HG)

ok, so we have a venue, a date, and a time of say 7pm for main meeting point (pre, pre pre and pre pre pre drinks to be arranged closer to the date?)

sorted.


ok, i'll google up the venue and book it, how many people then?


definitive list below would be a good idea methinks...


(don't worry lois i'll get you to myton in time by taxi if I need to )



The List

sounds good!

gemini said: Japanese I think www.studleyhotel.co.uk/orchid.php Good God! The Studley? Waay too posh for me I'm afraid. We used to go there for Sunday lunches when I used to live in Harrogate many years ago. Let me know when the next bar run is

ah f**k it then, let's just go to pizza express or similar then! something to soak up the beer before the bar run is all that's needed!

and there will definitely be a bar run al!

phew..


no need for me to stay fairly sober just to drive you up there in the morning then!


oh well, i'm sure you'll get to drink beer with a PHer or two at some point in the future..

mawds said: We can always go somewhere else (it was the first place I thought of) Any suggestions? - rather you were there than not Thanks for the sentiment but please don't change things on my behalf!

I would rather go to a pizza express place than an el posho place (for a change ) just in case my actions (letching/attempting to sweet talk the waitresses) lands us in trouble

less likely to get us in hot water if we carry out those sort of activities in a pizza express eh al?
