Hi Ma I am retired Nurse will i do???? But must warn you I'm out of practise,we'd love to see you there. Sue I will leave a message when I know which train I'm getting,your's may be too early as I have to drop off OH and some stuff for our town carnival first----but that's kind of you thanks Ann

My train gets to York at 9-25 and will hang around the Cafe which is near the entrance of York railway station for anyone that will be going to FHF. Ann What time does your train get in and I can meet you. Suexxxxx

Thanks LLC--aka Gloryer

I think so. You need to cross the road to get the purple people eater.....oops I mean the purple bendy bus. Make sure you have plenty of pound coins and 50p's. Think its £1.50 for a single and £3.50 for a day ticket. But you have to put your money in the machine on the bus with no conductor. by the way to avoid any confusions I am Gloryer from FTF

Is it easy to get from the Station to the Family History Fair???

LLC Yes see you there I may be with Mommylonglegs and her OH,unless i get lost------lol I may have a walking stick and i have bottle fair hair----and quite old-------erm---and wrinkes---aw heck that's enough

Jan, thanks about the car park i should think that we would be setting of about 7.30. /8oclock that morning we are comming from N/Wales and dont know how long it's going to take us . really looking forward to it Hazelx

lol Ann okay so thats you and me at 1pm by the genealogy printers stall

Also i was asked to help with our Carnival that day,but would rather be with you lot-------aww well enough of me blurbling!!!! Times and places fine with me.---And the pub sounds good

I am quite happy to meet a 1 o'clock at Ron and Jeans stall. We could all go to the pub together for a liquid lunch.lol I think I will be in York on Friday now as hopefully I finish work at 2.30 Friday so will stop at my daughters and get the bus straight to the fare

the boro girls will be on tour at york hope to bump into you all if not have a great day everybody we will be the loud ones

Hello Gem and everyone. Not had Laptop for the last three weeks, has anyone missed me? Just to confirm me and Chris are definates for the York meet up. Not sure if we are coming by train or car yet though. Will probably be in York for around 10.30am. Book into B&B and then make our way to the History Fair. Intend going to a Pub for lunch and of course a few drinks. Just keep me informed as to which pub, the one we went in last year or the Weatherspoons? Happy to fit in with everyone else. Must dash, have to get ready to go down to the beach and then a pub crawl in Whitley Bay with Kim from Sandhurst who is up here in Tynemouth for a flying visit. Weather is glorious here bye the way. See you all soon. Jenny xx

Hi Gem The pub is The Punchbowl and the car park is on Nunnery Lane What time did we leave fair last year? was it about 1pm to go to the pub Hazel There is free car parking at Knavesmire and is well signposted If anyone wants my mobile number for contact on day or travel info please pm me Look forward to seeing you in just over a weeks time Love Jan x PS the bus from Knaversmire stops at the odeon Blossom street 2 mins walk from the pub

I'm hoping this list is right. Confirmed people so far are Me Jenny and Chris Ann L in Darlington Jeanette and Wendy Jan and Liz Little Lost Cousin Hazel Pope Alaina Sue in Leeds T.O.R Is this right? Gem:)))

Right my train gets into York Station at 9.30am I can meet at the station and then catch the bus to the Fair with whoever wants to. Is it fair to say we can meet about 1 o'clock at the Fair, at Ron and Carol O'Neills Table (Genealogy Printers). Or maybe a bit earlier/later if anyone wants. Or put a shout out over the tannoy like Jenny (Mommylonglegs) did last year. (so funny!) I would like to know if anyone would like to go back into York for a drink/something to eat. There is a Wetherspoons near the Train Station (unsure of its proper name) where we can go. There is car park not too far away from here for anyone who is coming by car. Gem:)

LLC that's what I am trying to find out,I don't want to get to York and find i miss meeting folks or it's not worthwhile coming is it??? We better keep this nudged eh?

it would be a good idea if we could make a definate time and place to meet at the fair as some others from across the way will be arriving after most from on here. If somebody can suggest a time and place I will post it over on FTF

Please can you let me know wether we are meeting at the fair or after the fair?? And where,as it depends on what's happening as to which train I get. Please

Think this is worth a small bump as its only over a week away. Hazel you and other half are more than welcome to come along. Who is getting the train to York? I can meet in York station and then catch the bus to the racecourse. Looks like it should be a good meet. Gem:))))

Hi , i wonder if you would mind if me and OH came we would be comming by car iv'e never been to a family history fair before Hazelx
