General Chat

The meetup will be in the usual place, The Waterhouse (Weatherspoons) 67-71 Princess Street, Manchester. (it is opposite the Town Hall.) It is open from 10 a.m for breakfasts and from 11 for alcoholic drinks, Food is served over the lunchtime for those interested. I expect to be there from 11 a.m Everyone Welcome. Sheila Wray has just added that the Flower and Farmers Markets are on that day too. June xx

Thanks June Will try and make this one:)) Diane:)

Thanks June will try and make this one. Will warn everyone in advance this time. Germaine x

Hello June. Will certainly be considering coming this time. will let you know asap. It would be lovely to see you and Gaynor again. Jenny.xx

Germaine. I usually go by train (saves the cost and the trouble of parking),they run every hour from Preston, I get on the 9.13 at Leyland. There is a free bus outside Piccadilly Station that takes you into the town Center. If you would like to bring a friend or husband, please do. June xx

The flower and farmers markets are on that day :-)

Thanks She, I think they will be worth a visit. June xx

Hiya Juney, Just looked in my calendar and i,ve got 9 attempts at the lottery before then! Fingers crossed eh? lol. If I don,t have any luck, I can always lend you my brolly. hee hee.

Will try to come June. Good news about the train, we live in Ulnes Walton so it would make sense to get it from there or Chorley, and parking is easier at Leyland station. Gloria x

Gloria, If you decide to come from Leyland, allow plenty of time for parking, usually its easy but on the run up to Christmas it gets quite busy on a Saturday. Carol, I hope your numbers come up. Is it worth buying extra tickets, lol Yes if its anything like last time you were over, a brolly is a necessity. June xx

hiya june , me and jim will be there x carol what are you like lol. if i win the lotto, you will with us in manchester x

Hiya Sandra, If i win the lottery, I,ll be bringing you and Jim back to see your cousin in Buffalo. lol. Sorry for pinching your thread Juney. xx

i will definetly b there :-)

Yep, I'll be there June. Jxx

Thanks June. I wasn't sure where to get off the train Now I do. I know Derek won't come he will probably be at work anyway till mid morning, but will see if my friend next door is off work. Doesn't worry me coming on my own got used to that years ago and now Amanda has the kids she can't just take off like she used to . Looking forward to putting faces to names. Germaine x

day after next hosp app,so ile be there hopefully xx ps the gammon was really nice last time might try that again

hiya carol , i would rather meet you. cos i know we would laugh our socks off.speak soon , sorry june xx

Hi June and everyone Sorry I 'm not able to come on the 12th November to meet you all. I will be in Cyprus Hope you all have a good time as per usual Bren

Carol and Sandra dont apologise, chat away its fine by me,lol Germaine As I say I usually go on the train that leaves Preston just after 9 a.m. If you happen to be on that train wear a daffodil or something lol. I will be the short fat white haired female getting on at Leyland. The very first meet up that we had in Manchester, we all carried Teddy bears so that we knew each other. Pat and Julie I'm pleased you weren't put off at the last meet up. Sorry Brenda that you will miss but I'm sure Cyprus wins hands down. I'm so glad to see the rest of you are coming again. June xx

Hi June, it looks doubtfull that i can be at this one ,but will be there in spirit. The Manchester Eye is being errected again,for those who want to see some really great views.The rebuilt part of the Arndale will hopefully be open as well.So with that and the markets ,plenty for all to do and see. Brenda.
