    Manchester GTG?

    Hey guys
    Are we about due one?
    I am chatting to a guy on Omega Forums who is up for one. We have had visitors from The Dark Side before, so why not The Last Letter?
    Any thoughts?

    Let’s have some suggested dates in October / November then please Gents....

    Also what do people think about the venue? (Without revealing it!). It’s served us well, but there might be some concerns after last time - I’m talking about the loss of watches outside of the place, not Bootneck’s actions in it!

    Happy to receive PMs if you’d rather not discuss here.

    Without disclosing the location would this be inside or outside of the city centre?

    Driving to the location would be a bonus I think

    I'm in as long as it's not mid October - tied up weekends until then. A Sunday would be good?

    I've missed two after committing now, so third time lucky.

    Any further along with this?
    I'm wrapped up every Saturday through October now, but Sat 4th November (or even better, a Sunday) would work.

    Little bump for this - any more can do / cannot do dates chaps? I’ll organise it more this weekend. Questions- are we happy with the same venue? And does anyone have the contact details for Fords?

    I'm allowed out every Sunday in the target time zone. Maybe a Sunday would be better security-wise?

    Also available 21 Oct and every Sat in Nov.

    Usual venue fine with me.

    Not sure where the location is but fancy coming along.

    Once a date has been chosen, all who have expressed an interest in attending will receive a PM from Kirk or myself with full details.
    We don't publish on a public access forum for security reasons.

    Of course. Very sensible.

    Sunday suits me guys, I can do any Sunday as long as the trains are running (rail "upgrades" was the main reason I missed the last one!)

    A Sunday is fine for me too but it doesn’t have the carnage potential that a Saturday provides ie I’ll hve to work extra bloody hard to stay out until the following day lunch time.

    It looks like a Sunday works for most people. I suggest avoiding a date when there is a big match on TV as the venue might be too busy for our liking - how does Sunday 29th October suit everyone? Usual time of 12:30? Or would we prefer a November date?

    I’ll need to firm up the venue once we fix the date, and order the usual random buffet!

    Sorry Gents, I’ve not had chance to reserve the venue yet - I shall do so on Monday. I’ll aim for the 29th October.

    Looking forward to it....now we just need to track down Fords to invite him!

    Yeah he’s been banned. Eddie give me a possible email for him but it’s either old and non-functional or the bugger just didn’t reply!

    That's a shame, chatted a few times to him, don't think he lives to far from me!

    If it's not an indelicate question, what did Fords get banned for?

    Sunday 29th ok with most? If so, it's already in my diary!

    I'm at a party the week after and Mrs Kojak is out the weekend after that, so if this one falls through I'll have to duck (again) but Sunday 29th - two weeks today - suits me if anyone else can come along?

    Usual trick, I'll probably stay a couple of hours then stretch my legs (usually take the excuse to turn it into a jolly boys day out!) so do feel free to juggle the dates to suit the majority.

    Can I put my hand up? Might be able to sneak out of Liverpool for a few hours on a Sunday when they're changing the guards... ;-)

    You are more than welcome...we allow people from scouse land and also the wrong side of the Pennines to attend!

    I’ll aim to book the venue tomorrow - I’ve been swamped with work. Once it’s booked I’ll send you all a PM with the details.

    If you haven’t been before you’ll be interested to know that tradition dictates that Unclealec buys all the beer. He’s a kind person.

    Edit - yes I’m aiming for the 29th October.

    I'm 90% confirmed, the doubt is controlled by mother nature & Mr builder.

    I am waiting for news on another event but if that doesn't pan out I can make it if you'll have me.
