So there seems to be a London gathering and a Manchester one,so I thought I'd ask if there's a Yorkshire one,or maybe there's not enough of us as we are supposed to be tight gets who won't spend owt
This is East Yorkshire calling, anyone in ?
Depends where in Yorkshire. It's pretty big :)
Yes but much like Wigan, they all share one giant chromosome, so it doesnt really matter where in Yorkshire you come fromOriginally Posted by alexaff
Hells teeth, I would sooner go to Skegness

I'm at my Dales house this week if anyone Gets anything organised. Only have 3 watches with me though...
Several get togethers were held in Leeds a few years ago. This died a death because hardly anyone turned up at the last one!

Would York work for people?
York sounds good to me.
I live in York but only have one watch now :)
But those who did turn up were the salt of the earth and had a great time
Yorks good
Absolutely!.......it's quality not quantity that counts, and yes, we all had a good time.But those who did turn up were the salt of the earth and had a great time

If anything can be sorted in the coming months I'm in

York or Leeds would be doable for me too.
Having never been to one of these meetings before, dare i ask what happens and what the format is?
Viva SkegvegasHells teeth, I would sooner go to Skegness
York is the answer as it is inbetween Leeds and Hull and sorry to say it but I really don't want to go to Hull :)
Me too
You arrive on the train, before digesting copious amounts of drink and drugs. Call girls attend after a light kebab supper and then we play cards, when someone tends to lose his collection of luxury watches, the watches we all forget to get out, because we were having such a good time.
Oh, sorry, it's a thread for the Yorkshire one...
Pre-arranged car share, non-fizzy soft drinks, sausage rolls (warm by prior arrangement) and a chat about Seiko's, 2pm prompt, finishing around 2:50pm

I am sure it is but I have been there many times and find it the most depressing Yorkshire town/city that I have ever visited and with my job I cover the whole of Yorkshire, just my opinion of course :)
get yourself in Walters, you won't be depressed when you come out...drunk maybe!

Hull city of culture 2017 does that mean we will get another useless shopping centre to go with the other 3 !
Back on topic as long as it doesn't clash with work I could take a run out to York.
York just pushes it for me, I would genuinely be happy with Hull even though I live south of the natural border!
I'm interested !!
I am interested too, I go back to York fairly often.
I'm just across the natural border as well or £1:50 away if you nip over Humber Bridge
Another Hull chap here, though York/Leeds wouldn't be terrible.
Can't resist an opportunity to geek it up: http://www.geomidpoint.com
If "window" shopping is on the agenda Leeds is unbeatable. Noticed in York the other day, Harper's seem to have closed down.
Surely they're all too tight to shell out on expensive watches?

Just find a venue where we can have a pea & pie supper.
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
This could be the perfect venue!!

Leeds is the financial capital of the north, so it would get my vote FWIW.
Pie and peas in The Hop are minging though. Went once and barely ate a thing after the peas were slopped out of a serving hatch round the back of the pub onto a microwaved pie :P
Not Leeds I will be trapped on the ring road for the rest of my life.
I usually get that feeling in Manchester...
