Choose a date and venue. I'll be there :-)















Preferably somewhere that sells kebabs...

Yes, I know it's "bl**dy winter" but if we are to make this a regular "event", then a meet every three months or so will inevitably produce a couple of "bl**dy winter" meetings. (Well one, to be precise but I know what you mean :-)) The other problem is that people are more likely to be doing other things and attending other events in the Summer, so it does become somewhat more difficult to arrange a meet when the weather's improved. We'll still try for a Summer meet up and run later this the year though.

As you suggest, I'm now looking for bar meal type pubs (that serve kebabs! :roll: ) roughly in the middle of an area covering Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham. Any suggestions for a suitable pub would be very welcome.

How about Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn ? (It's not in Cheshire! :?)

Tripadvisor seems to like it! The menu's quite varied, no kebabs though. :(

Also, the weather will have to be fairly decent.

If it's any good and we manage to get there this time round, then we could meet up there again May/June time anyway. You up for it this time Gareth?

Roly, I'm doing very well thanks.I'll be doing cartwheels around the car park infact. Back on the NHS now so the next (not so major) op could be some time in 2019 :evil:

Now then... these web links are for two different pubs! One in Castleton and the other in Hope. Hope and Castleton are only 4 miles apart and both pubs are good so it doesn't matter which one you pick... I just wouldn't want half of us at one pub and the other half at the other...

Lovely part of the country.. we'll struggle for parking at both pubs.. Castleton becomes very busy between April and Sept.. But both places are worth a 'drive through' and there is lots of parking outside of Castleton to stand and stare at our cars..

I'll throw in the Travellers Rest in Hope Valley as it has a large car park, is on the same road and does food... http://www.travellers-rest.net/The_Travellers_Rest/Home.html

Cheers,
Gary

Firmly in Captain Mainwaring mode, I was wondering who would be the first to spot the deliberate mistake! :oops: Well spotted Gary.

Who would have thought it, two such odd and similar pub/B&B names so close to each other!

Tripadvisor for Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn.(The correct one this time)

The Travellers Rest seems equally good. Thanks for that.

Any opinions?

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

good old area contest.......good luck.....

Paganini Variations

one of my all time favourites.......I remember playing it once where the solo trombone player had an instrument failure during the trombone feature section......
the conductor tried singing it but it didnt quite sound the same.....although his singing could be heard from the back of the auditorium......:)
make sure your kit it fully functioning before getting on stage :)

good luck
