Limey 242 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have just booked a visit at the beginning of March. Not sure of my itinerary yet, but could be available for a "meet up" on either Friday, March 4th, or Saturday the 5th. I will be arriving in the U.K. on the 1st, staying in London one night, then driving to my sister's near Cambridge - then up to my other sister in Retford and returning to London on the 8th. Probably best to figure out a location by PM - but let me know what you all prefer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Sounds good Eric Let me check my shifts/check for gettinjg time off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'll try , but I can't promise owt . SWMBO has no holiday left till April now and she works late on Fridays and Saturdays!! (Bloody daft as this time last year she still had 3 weeks to take !!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Change of plans. Since I will be visiting Long Eaton on the 2nd or 3rd (or both), how about we meet up on the evening of Wednesday 2nd or Thursday 3rd. Let me know ASAP so I can arrange meetings and accomodation!

Beefsteak 305 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 It may be easier for me to get over on the Wednesday night as SWMBO is usually off work on Wednesday and Thursday (But I'll have to drive home on the Thursday so Wednesday is best for me) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 any nights good for us...but i agree with Beefy ...it would be good if we can get as many folk as possible together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,878 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Any time any place any where, see you soon Eric. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 I am available 28th 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Woo hooo! Then let's make it Wednesday evening, March 2nd! Now pick a location! Beefy has an idea for a dinner meet (which I will need), but after that it is up for grabs - suggestions please... FINALLY - I will get to meet Mick! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Maybe one day I'll get to meet Mick when he's on one of his trips over here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 2nd's good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Wheres the easiest for People to get to? City, I think? Daytime or evening is good for me if its the second? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I did think of the pub on the square , is it The Bank. That is next door to Burtons Taylors or there's the Weatherspoons over by Exchange walk (The name escapes me ) We could get a bite to eat there at a reasonable (For the UK) price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 FOOD and Drink sounds good. How about starting at the Balti House? Sam would look after us, Two courses about 7 quid? Or there is Red Hot Buffet on Hockley, (As much as you care to eat. for about £9) We have to remember Kevs diet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Well (With due respect) I was thinking of everybody , not everyone likes a curry!! and not everybody will want to eat! but in the two I mentioned you can still have a beer , and there's curry on the menu!!

Fynger 841 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 If they sell 'english' food i'll find summat ...Ta ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm with Kev! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I think Weatherspoons it is then!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Weatherspoons will be O.K. for food - but not for beer! I think the one on the market place is "The Joseph Else" - which will work for me. Give me a time. Evening beer is still up for grabs. Walking distance of the square preferably, but am open to all options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hows about 'THE TRIP'...easy to find and reasonably central to town ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 It'll be too busy Kev , and we want a bite to eat (At a reasonable price) too. The Joseph Else sounds good to me. What's wrong with the beer in Weatherspoons?? I never have a problem with the one over here, there's always a great choice of real ales and lagers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Mind you , we could always have a wander up there afterwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Somewhere that does not sell "Harvest Pale", but "Elsie Mo", would be ideal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
