    I can only submit one vote - your system is flawed! :lol:

    I reckon a Sunday will be easier for most people, and either City Centre or outskirts, I'm easy. City centre means I can have a beer and get the train - so I vote for that! :lol:

    Anyway, count me in!!

    Re: Manchester (NW) GTG spring 2012

    That do last summer was good, at the Rain Bar. Just far enough out of the way for everyone to feel comfortable, but central enough that it was easy to get to.

    I would recommend The Castle on Oldham Street but I very much doubt anyone will want to show off their watches in there! :D
    Plus I think I'm barred from that one. :roll:

    Anywhere on Deansgate suits me as long as someone else is paying (Peroni on draught - lovely). Are we having a jolly to WOS first if we end up in Manchester centre?

    Hi Alec,
    surely people wouldn't mind if we move it to the next Sunday...Would you be able to come?

    By the way the 'secret venue' will be in OL6 area. 2mins from M60

    Yeah, I could do the weekend after, but it isn't all about me. Whatever suits the majority.

    I don't mind a change either. It just wouldn't be the same without Unc, who would clear up ;-)

    I suspect that (if the date is changed) I would have to drive to the venue, so there could be a TZUK vintage taxi to/from Victoria/Piccadilly. Victoria station that is, not Victoria the....oh, never mind.
    Assuming I complete the engine rebuild currently under way. Let me tell you it's friggin freezing working on cast iron in this weather.

    Just saw the invite on the other place, I'm in. Missed the last couple due to family commitments. The family can commit themselves for this one. :bigsmurf:

    Easy on venue and date, although central MCR means tram and a pint (or two) :D

    Still not fitted the engine. I can still pick people up from Manchester stations, but the 2½ doesn't have a heater, so wear something warm.

    Hey guys,

    please let me know final numbers ( if you are taking your partners)
    so my better half can book us a big table in the best part of the pub. It is quite popular on sundays coz the food is great, so we need to book early.

    I'm not going to put Barbara's name on the list because she's a miserable bugger and it might make the others withdraw - but book a meal for her.

    We should have had it last week, you had some Dutch visitors including me (around 4000) who would have joined! :mrgreen:.
    Nice city, was there on wednesday, went to Man United - AFC AJAX (I'm a Seasoncard holder of AJAX) and went to Trafford Centre on friday, a lot of great watch stores in Manchester!

    Still in.
    Alec is collecting myself and John (feenix) from the station at 12pm, so we'll all be there about 12.30. Not sure what time everyone else was thinking?
    We may be well lubricated by the time everyone else arrives!
