I'm confirmed, booked a day's holiday tonight. Now I'm coming dependent on the weather and car situation.

Cheers.

I may have a problem...... the gf is apparently coming to visit as it is valentine's day weekend I hate Valentine's Day!!!

She's not a great fan of PH and trying to convince her to go on a 100+ mile trip is going to be difficult.

I know, but I can't very well have her come up from Manchester on Friday, stay for Saturday then say

"Right it's not Valentine's Day any more! Back on the train!"

I will have to try and convince her that a top down run is a good idea, with a bunch of people I've only met a few times.

Doesn't look good.

Why not. You don't need to say PH things to her. Just say "come and meet a few of my mates. We're going out for lunch".

[WildfireS3]

She knows it's a PH meet. Chris + no

I will work on it on the phone tonight. If she agrees, there may be a debate about top up or down and you'll have to add another person to the list.

[minimax]

has she got any "friends" who might want a lift in a westfield?

[WildfireS3]

Only Hannah would be brave enough.

[tvrbob]

OK table is booked so & is on.

I need to confirm numbers on 14th Feb so if you haven't told me yet then please do. I'm updating the list above to show the current list of 'Confirmed'

[docevi1]

Bob, I'm confirmed. I'll only not come if the weather is terrible and I can't even take the Citroen.
