Shirley, it sounds like you've been busy today, so you really deserved those vodka's! I agree with Frances, sandwiches may well be the best way to go. Yvette

Yes, im afraid i did have a few vodkas yesterday, in each venue. Sandwiches is a good idea, now why didn't i think of that ? I will make enquiries and find out the cost, i think if i cater for 20 that should cover it. i can always let them know nearer the time if its more or less. Shirley Ann.

Hi Joanne, (Shirley, sorry couldnt find your thread mentioned in your pm!!) Please add me to the list!!! Cheers! Jo

Jo i have added your name to the list as you can see. Shirley Ann.

I will take another trip to Bury in the next week two, as i prefer to speak to the people at the venue in person rather than over the phone. i might even check out more venues if its not pouring with rain again. Oh such hard work having to have a drink in each pub ? Shirley Ann.

Thankyou Shirley for all this looking!, have noted in memory that yours is a vodka! :)) am looking forward to coming :))

Yes, I echo Christine's thanks for getting the arrangements off the ground Shirley Ann. I did notice in the Best Pubs book that the Linden Tree is closed from 3pm to 5pm. I don't know if that is peculiar to them or a condition imposed on all BSE pubs by the local licensing authority. May be worth checking with whichever pub you choose. The only thing that perturbs me about this meet is........... I do seem to be outnumbered by all these fine Ladies. Perhaps I may be allowed to get a few words in during the course of the afternoon. ;) K

Sadly I won't be able to make it then.Will be up that way 2nd week of Sept.I love Bury St Ned's, used to teach in Stowmarket and often shopped in Bury. Hope the meet goes well. Rose

Any more gentlemen? Joy

Sorry Jo, would love to have come but have a fundraising show that evening for the Pink Fund. YVETTE - You've got to get here in time for the show though! Have a lovely time! Daisy

It's ok Daisy, i will be there as promised...thought i could do both as its on the same train line :-)) You never know i might be able to bring a few with me from the meet lol Yvette

Sorry Joy. No gentlemen but I'll try and make it with SWMBLT. Keith

Guy de hoghton, you will be ok, i think some of the hubbys are coming too. And yes i better check if the Bushall closes at sometime in the afternoon. Pubs where i live stay open all day on a Saturday. will get back to you on that one. off to work now. Shirley Ann.

Good idea Yvette, although I'm hoping to be sold out!!! Show starts 7.30 but if you want a lift you'll need to be here well before that! Don't forget your sleeping bag. Hope to make the next meet. Daisy

''SWMBLT'' ? Joy

Nudged up, incase anyone else want to join us on the Bury meet.

Hi all, sorry I have not been about for a few days, but am back now. You have done so well Shirley, so that means you deserve all those vodkas...lol (damn good excuse if ever I have heard one) lol, lol

Glad your back Joanne, well whats a girl to do, couldn't go into these pubs and not have a drink., trouble was i didn't mean to have quite so many. I had rubber legs by the time i got home. Shirley Ann.

nudge for anyone else wishing to come along

For Joy. 'She Who Must Be Listened To' but not necessarily obeyed. Keith
