Northern Meet Up in YORK

Pipsqueak · 01-02-2009, 10:37 PM

Ok calling all northern peeps, Hebs and I have been chatting and thinking it might be nice to have a meet up.

York appears to be a good venue so far for everyone

Any suggestions for good times/dates - perhaps March time????? March seems to be a bit of hard time for everyone - what about april 4th???

**Hebs** · 01-02-2009, 10:38 PM

please avoid the 16th march for a week as i'm on holiday

but yes i'd love to meet up

I'm miles away but inlaws are in Newcastle!!!!

Ignore me!!! i'm trying to get to green!!!

how many miles away - perhaps you could make a weekend of it and stop with the in-laws, perhaps we could all pile round there and kip on their floor after a drunken night out.

Hubby just informed me that we are 328 miles away

Could be an interesting pub crawl, ha ha!!!! The inlaws like a drink and are up for a laugh but not sure what they would think of being invaded by drunken childminders!!!! lol!!!!

My mother in law would probably want to be part of the gang though as she was a childminder many years ago!!!

**Jules27** · 01-02-2009, 10:50 PM

seriously, will keep an eye on this thread as if you do go for Newcastle if we are about then we may have a weekend up there!!!

**Hebs** · 01-02-2009, 10:50 PM

awww come on girlies, we need a northern meet instead of missing out on the ones down south

**manjay** · 01-02-2009, 10:51 PM

A little too far north for me!!!

exactly, we don't want our Southern counterparts thinking we don't know how to have a good time eh!

**cher25** · 01-02-2009, 10:53 PM

Believe me my sister in law is a true Geordie and certainly knows how to have a good time!!!!

After the invite on the other thread Pipsqueak, I thought I'd better contribute here too (go green!). The idea of the meet up is appealing though Newcastle is a bit far for me and I'm on holiday for a week from 7th (Skiing in France!! sorry there's no room in my suitcase

)
Leeds?
York?

.......anyone?

Pipsqueak · 01-02-2009, 10:58 PM

like I say - am open to suggestions - York is lovely, haven't been there in years....

we could all make a day of it, meet earlyish morning, have some lunch (a couple of drinkies perhaps???, hit some shops, a few more drinkies go bowling, have a meal in teh evening and tootle home again on the train???

**ajs** · 01-02-2009, 11:03 PM

i was sitting her crying into my gin (well tea actually) cos i wanted to come to a meet in the north east but it realy is too far for me

but if you are doing york or leeds i definatley will come train is really quick from where we live and not to expensive if i book far enough in advance

Pipsqueak · 01-02-2009, 11:08 PM

That would be great Mandy

hebs you ok with setting the place as York???

what would everyone like to do?

**Jules27** · 01-02-2009, 11:13 PM

Hey, York s not too far via train so if you didn't mind one from East Anglia coming along?????

Pipsqueak · 01-02-2009, 11:14 PM

The more the merrier Jules!

hey lookie at your post count, its going up rapidly!

**Hebs** · 01-02-2009, 11:16 PM

York is fine x

Pipsqueak · 01-02-2009, 11:19 PM

York it is then

Any specific dates to avoid. Think mine is around teh 15th of March (although will have to doubly confirm that) that I can't do - so perhaps towards teh end of March? 28th????
