I have recently moved up to York (uk) and wondered if there are any local shipmates who would be up for a meet?
Days and dates flexible - anyone interested?

Sorry it took so long to get back to this - RL happened at me in a big way! ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)
Suggestions for dates :
Sunday 10th June
Saturday 23rd June
Sunday 24th June
Saturday 7th July
Sunday 8th July
Do any of these work for people?
I'm not really sure where to meet, does anyone have any suggestions (otherwise I will have a think and post some suggestions later).

Would be interested, particularly as it would be my last northern meet before moving south and various of those dates would work.

Looking at those dates:
Sunday 10th June - I'm doing the intercessions at church, could make mid-afternoon onwards. Plus its too short notice for cheep train fares.
Saturday 23rd June - Can do, but will need to get back to set up PA for church next day.
Sunday 24th June - Our church is offering free refreshments to people watching the Olympic torch go past - Can't make it (I blame Seb Coe).
Any other time looks OK at the moment. Especially in July. Money is tight at the moment, we could do with enough notice for cheep train fares.

Now moving south sooner than anticipated and so unlikely to be about.

Given the train tickets situation and Jengie's being busy, I am thinking that it might be better to delay this until after the summer.
I'm going to start by suggesting Sunday 9th or 23rd September in the afternoon.
Any votes?
Sorry to hear you won't be able to join us, Tractor Girl - good luck with your move!

It's been a good long while since I've seen a lot of you. I may try and make it to this if it happens in September...

So we have the 9th of September then.
Is there a kind host who can change the thread title to reflect that please?
It would be lovely to see lots of people - hopefully with this much notice it will work!

Sorry to jump onto a thread where I really have no place to be (I don't live in York!) but my choir are singing the services at York Minster on 8 and 9 September, and you'd be very welcome to come.
If anyone has a genuine interest I can let you know what the music is, otherwise I'll just slink off quietly!

Sorry I didn't get to meet you all. Have fun at your meet.

Sorry not to have met you, Dark Knight. Pleased you liked the city though
I guess we ought to make firm arrangements at this point.
Would about 1pm onwards suit? I figure that allows maximum coming /going.
Location wise- do we need to be child friendly? If not, my first suggestion is the York Tap, a new(ish) pub based at the railway station, so good for transport. It is fairly spacious and has a good range of real ales.
Please go ahead if you have other suggestions, I am a bit unsure how to organise these things!

Mrs Shrew, I think that we might need to be at a child-friendly location, but others will I'm sure be confirming this soon (or not). I don't know York that well, so will trust your judgement regarding choice of meeting-place!
I should be able to make it by 2pm, and am looking forward to the afternoon.

Thanks for letting me know, East Prince Road.
With that in mind (also I am informed that the Tap gets very busy), I suggest the following Alternative And (Hopefully)Final Plan:
This Sunday, 9 September, from about 12.30pm at the Black Swan, 23 Peasholme Green, YO1 7PR
Their website is here: http://www.blackswanyork.com/
They do food, which looks nice. I shall be sampling this!
I am told it is quite big inside - I will try to get a big table in a good corner.
For ease of identifying - I will be the lady with red hair, knitting. I shall bring Snuggle Bear (a small teddy in a jumper that says "S.B." on it).
Looking forward to meeting you!

It all looks and sounds fine to me, Mrs Shrew. I hope it suits the others. I'll probably arrive between 1 and 1.30.

Huzzah! I shall be there too, from 12.30.
Wheelie Racer - I just checked - all the downstairs rooms are fully wheelchair accessable in case you're able to come (fingers crossed!).

Trains permitting should be there about 12:30 (if trains run to schedule). I am really glad it is on Sunday it just fits into my weekend so much better.

I am realising that the reason I am cancelling is I have a summer cold, this was causing lack of concentration and progress even before I was acknowledging I had one. Hence post above. It is now getting treated.
