Northern rival for Virgina Waters meet-up

[Byff]

Time for us oop north to have a meeting point of our own.

Main concerns are -

where to hold our meet
who will attend

I reckon somewhere near Gateshead - ideal for access to/from A1.

Gibside Hall would make good backdrop scenery but dunno about pubs in area.

Suggestions welcome.....

Well PH5 is quite Northern

[Byff]

Little bit too far South for me.

There is a big bit of green above Manchaster that should really be called "the North" but I don't want to start a North/South divide type argument and want to concentrate on having our own little meet up.

How about a Sunday meet as some of us have to work on Saturdays.

How about Lumley castle? Or somewhere in the Dales?

Hmm.. a northern meet... somewhere around bedfordshire perhaps?

ill get me passport

what about the derwentside hotel on the A68? It's pretty nice, (not exactly slaley hall though) on the A68 (nuff said) and not that far from newcastle/carlisle (25/35 miles). Or alternatively, the ramside hotel on the A690 just off the A1 at the durham/mackemland turn off? I'll definitely come if you guys will let me bring the mini....

Don't look like there's much demand.

Never mind, it was worth a punt.

Why on earth not?

What we need is a good war.

How about something in the Lake District?

:scrathchin: isn't anything above the Watford Gap technically "the North"...?

North = understand and empathise with Coronation St

South = understand and empathise with Eastenders....

[Qualia]

How about Gretna? It's still south from where I am, and since we would all be arriving with the true love of our lives - who knows...?

You're joking, I barely get time now that we all have to muck in down the Hovis factory

Come on Byff - There is the interest, and the lakes sounds good - you can put down a V8S and a 350 Wedge (myself and plewis66).

How about somewhere near Brough, handy for East and West? How about Oasis?

I will have the Integrale back in 3 weeks, hopefully perfect :fingerscrossed: so sometime after then and I'm in

[Tony Hall]
