Fuff Mandy...we could have sneaked a look in the ladies.....if I promise not to expose them to the world, will it make a difference XX

Oh Mandy, oh Mandy.....I wanted to see your knees...fuff XX

I am sorry to hear you wont be joining us, Mandy. Was it my lilac see through bri nylon thingie or the ringlets that put you off? Anyway, will catch up with you some day. XX BC

Mandy, How COULD I possibly forget??? LOL CB >|<

Mandy, I'm heartbroken! Does this mean I have to get this week's Beano myself? CB >|< :,>(((((

Hi BC, That's great. Look forward to hearing from you. Please send your phone number to my private email address. I'll explain why when I see you on Saturday. I agree - I'm sure we can find our way from Darlington to Middlesbrough and then on to The Barracuda on our own, if necessary. It's only round the corner from the station. CB >|< X

Morning all. Well, that's clear then....I shall go with the flow but I do think if CB and I are delayed for some unknown reason, that everyone should go off to the Barracuda and we shall follow. Will be in touch with you tomorrow CB and give you my mobile number and ticket details etc. BC

Babs & Ann, All seems fine with me just as you've posted, thanks - apart from any delay to our train arriving from London at Darlington. It is scheduled to get there at 12.30, but there might be a leaf or a snowflake on the line - or something. No doubt there would be announcements on the station about any delays. If there's any significant delay, I have a map of Middlesbrough (Ta, Andy!), and Jenny's told me where The Barracuda is - just round the corner from the station, so I'm sure CBBC will be able to find it. I don't have a mobile phone, but I expect BC does, so we can speak if necessary. Neeta - I'm very disappointed to see you can't be there, but I'll probably be coming to Sunderland in early May, so maybe we can meet up then. I'll be in touch when I know what dates are involved. CB >|< :>)

Ann what a shame but if thats the way it falls , it falls like it there is not a lot anyone can do , but hopefully it will be that good it will be repeated;; Babs

Sorry, I can't make it. I've a family event on that day. I'm sooooooo disapointed not to meet you all, but I'll try to make the next meet (Is ther another thread 'cos I must have posted on that one.) Enjoy it all Love Anne

Ann, thanks for that claifiying the times of the trains from Darflington , great so we all know that you lot will be here by then ;;;; Babs

Train's from Darlington to Middlesboro--from GNER website Leave Darlington 12-06---get into Boro ---12-30 Leave Darlington 12-35----get into Boro Station 12-58 Leave Darlington 12-58---get into Boro----13-23 Laeve Darlington 13-31 ---get into Boro--13-56 Hope this helps Babs Think all being well the latest we will be in Middlesboro will be 13-23 as CB and BC don't get into Darlington until 12-30. CB and BC is that ok with you?

Great news that we have such a lot still able to come to the meet Babs. So sorry that those cannot make it, for one reason or another. But perhaps next time. As I am sure this meet up will be the first of many. Jenny xx PS I have been asked to arrange a York meet up. Will post a thread very soon. J x

Im really gutted about missing the meet...Sorry Babs..I know you are working really hard on it.. We have family visiting on that weekend, they have just rang to ask if they can stay with us.. I really wanted to meet you all, especially BC , CB & Babs of course, and all you other lovely peeps. Have a good time everyone... Anita xxx

Just one more thing.....when I arrive in Darlington, I will be heading to Boro for 12.30 as that was the original plot...so we can meet Pipsquak to go for a bar lunch, because otherwise he is stuck in Boro by himself.
