I think RL has been getting in the way a bit recently. I'm sure John will be dropping by before too long to work out which axe murderers to meet...
(It's ever so slightly disturbing that I've taken to explaining to friends that I'm meeting axe murderers off the internet)

Has anyone actually met an actual axe-murderer off the internet, yet?
Enquiring minds and all that....

Anyone who has met me has met an axe-murderer's great-niece; that has to count for something! (Well, he killed them with a hatchet, actually, but it's close.)

Just to say that I have posted in the Scots Wha Hae thread about a possible meet in Edinburgh, in case the Holdings check this thread first.
I promise that I am not an axe murderer. But then again, I would say that.

We're arriving in York in the late afternoon/early evening of 27 September, and spending the whole next day there before leaving on Sunday after church. We've visited before, but we'd love to meet for dinner either night, or for lunch on Saturday.

Evening would be better for me, lunchtime at work not predictable.

Aww, I would've loved to come but have a governors meeting on the 7th. Since it's the first meeting with the new head I probably can't get away with missing it due to "meetng with axe murderers from the internet".

Oct 7th Lunch, sounds like a good idea. We could meet at the Cathedral and wander up Park Street for a meal.
Shall I put it in my diary?

Given our current state of tiredness, I'm going to suggest that we will be at the Rutland Arms around 600 on FRIDAY the 13th September, intending to drink and, in due course, have something to eat. We'll have been touring about and will be ready for refreshment. If no one else turns up, that's the wey it turns out. I'd guess we'll be there for an hour or two, so if you're able to come later, that would be doable.

Maybe someone should have warned you that jet-lag is a bummer when you're travelling eastwards. When we go over, I'm not worth tuppence for the first couple of days, and we've usually only got a 5½-hour flight (albeit overnight and arriving at silly o'clock in the morning).
Hope you have a wonderful holiday. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

We'll be arriving in Norwich latish on the afternoon of the 29th -- we'll be looking for a place to eat an evening meal, and we'd love to have company and a suggestion as to a place (pub or not-too-expensive).

Is this still on?
If so, what time at the cathedral?
I hope it's still on.
We have to drive in from near Cardiff, so 11:30 would be safe, giving time for us to look around and then meet.
I\ve had only intermittent web access until now, but I should be able to keep up with this thread from here on in.

I shall be in Bristol Cathedral Coffee shop at 11.30. I suggest we will wait for John and then take a wander up Park Street for lunch at Noon. Me, Leo, John, anyone else?
It is now in my diary so it must be going to happen.

Indeed - I still have to remember that people i 'know' via the web are real people with real lives!
Enjoyed meeting you all.
We might have had more quantity if we'd had a separate thread with 'Bristol' marked on it (3 shipmates in my own congregation hadn't registered that there was a meeting here today) - but most people had to go to work, poor sods.
