Current rumblings of a possible northern social in York one weekend being discussed by way of mvipond's Bar & Entrail shack & my own bar chat.

Suggestions welcome, one wkend in Sept?

Might involve public establishments serving alcohol +/or options on a River boat shuffle style cruise down the river...[:?]


Any raiding parties from the glorious south/or beyond interested?

[Decker]

Always up for a V-Flyer gig...

[HighFlyer]

Ditto Decker [:)]

Thanks,

Capital idea[y][y]

Can we make it late September cos might be away before that. And I did sort of suggest doing something so wouldn't want to miss my own party!

TikiJon

We would be up for that,as long as its not at Middlethorpe Hall, think we are still probably barred[:D]

[preiffer]

York?


Is that NORTH of the M4? [:?]

Sounds good to me !

For travel to York, there is a great company called Grand Central, who tend to be a bit cheaper -or at least- have less rigid conditions than National Express East Coast. Grand Central do London to York non stop, so plenty of time for uninterrupted corkage!

[Neil]

I suppose we might be up for this also (although I still think Hull would be a better venue). September is a good month for us and the format used recently where people can come and go for all or part of the social works best.

This exiled Yorkshireman would be glad of the opportunity to escape the South West and return to Gods County for a weekend. [y]

Sept seems fine for me at the moment - fixture list is out today though [:D]

There's racing at York on Sun 6th September and Fri-Sat 9th/10th October if that's of any interest?

Cheers
Michael

[Darren Wheeler]

I suppose this means I'll have to go and buy a ferret, wippet, pigeon and cloth cap.

Ooooh fighting talk Darren lol. Don't forget your inocculations too. Think along the lines of 'I Predict a Riot' by the Kaiser Chiefs for an average night out oop north.

..and remember the green stuff is mushy peas and not guacamole...

[Neil]

Is this thread just going to turn in to a place for all the Southern members to come and slate Northerners and their wonderful habits and the like [:(!][ii]

Pea Wet...

[RichardMannion]

Shut it Neil. [:D]

Visit to the train museum anyone, or shopping on the Shambles?

Not been back to the national rail museum since visiting 33 years ago[:0]

[Darren Wheeler]

Never been to the one in York so count me in. 3rd and 4th weekends are best for me.

York sounds just grand! Never been to a V-Flyer social, or York so a double baptism of fire!

No, this is what the social is for! [:)]

Any dates in mind for this? I havent ever been to York and I'm for this if I am in the country at the time.

Thanks,
Sarah

Weekend of the 6th or the 19th for us.
Stayed at the Hotel du Vin before now there and that was pleasant.

Definitely not the 6th please - hoping to be in CA! 19th or later good for me.

[HighFlyer]

6th or 19th of what? September?

Thanks,
Sarah
