Just a thought - York has sightseeing open topped buses that operate very regularly. I believe they are inexpensive. There are also horse and carriages for sightseeing, dont know how much they are.

Yes---I've heard the open tops good--you hop on & off anywhere & rejoin when you've seen what you want to

Friday:
4:30-6:30 Meet at pub A for introductions and aperitif(lol)-happy hour
Then eat wherever you like
8:00-ish--designate a pub where we all know we might see each other whilst doing our own thing walking round the quirky Minster Quarter and finishing at the pub for a nightcap


Saturday


10:00 Group Jorvik Centre Visit for those interested
or whatever you all want to do individually or in small groups
12:00-Lunch at Pub B
1:00-2:00ish Group York Dungeon
or whatever you all want to do individually or in small groups
2:00-4:30 Tea at Betty's (I hope Oporto & Tutts will co-ordinate that one so please register yourself if intersted)
5:30 to whenever--private room at Stonegate Yard in Little Stonegate for socializing,Quiz and drinks--menu is on website btw
Those that want to stay up-move to Kennedy's across the road for DJ & Dancing--or move to Roman Baths for just live music (or White Swan)
Sunday


Castle Museum if interested
10:00 or 11:00 Coffee at pub C and farewells

That all sounds pretty good to me, I probably won't do tea at Betty's though. The rest I'm up for though!

Really looking forward to meeting you Monzter xx

Thanks Cel, I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone too XX

Right--in York tomorrow from 11:00 to 2:30 to check out a few more pubs and things, arrange the Karioke etc --dirty work but some has to do it-lol--(haven't had alcohol for 10 days though btw since the "lurgey")

If anybody

• either wants to meet up with me.
• or needs me to check anything out for them-.
• -just sing up

When we have that private room-anybody got any interesting things to amuse the group?-lol

Just a suggestion but instead of a private room which can cost a few bob, how about finding a friendly publican who is willing to cordon off an area of the bar just for us, that way we get the atmosphere of the pub, have a bar nearby and the pub gains from our spends and of course our sparkling wit, charm and personalities.

Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

Good idea Sapphy---I had one like that at Yates Wine Bar-but its manic on a Saturday night-as are most pubs of course---I'll take that on board and see if we can get cordoned at Stonegate Yard too

Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

Well another fine day in York

Took your advice Sapphy--re cordoning off a bit of the pub as against a private room

Still Stonegate Yard---will cordon off an area for 20+ just near the bar from 5:00 May 5th--all booked---







Also--moved Friday 5:00+ Introductions to Three Tuns (near Jorvik Centre ) ---a typical English pub where they will also cordon off an area--







Sunday Coffee probably in pub next to Hilton-Photo later

Sooooooooo---I got all those decisions made---

Excellent, much more appealing to the masses I do think, I think all the attendees owe you a big thank you Turbo for all your efforts with organising this meet.

Don't say things like that, he's a lush, can't control himself where beer is concerned and will end up on the table stripping off and singing 'I am the Music Man'.

Few more photos I took whilst walking down Stonegate (btw Stonegate Yard Pub about 5 mins from Bettys (Main Bettys in Helens Square)







Had lunch at Ye Olde Star Inn-often do-never had a bad 'un there-Steak and Ale Pie (Premium) £7.95



Tutts-after your phone call to me & Mo--there is now a slight possibility of us coming to Bettys (unless I can sneak off for a Guiness with Les--lol)--

omg--China Cups & Fairy Cakes--my macho image at the rugby club will be in tatters if they find out :rofl:

No need to book till 3 weeks away btw--I'll ask Pawnbroker & Julie too --if I can get him on line

[TUTTSI]

Re: LB Meet-Spring 2012--YORK - LB's 5th Birthday!!

Turbs you and Mo have always been most welcome as is everyone else who is definately coming. I believe the tea is £25.50 per head. I would like to book a table ASAP as I believe Oporto has already booked a table for him, Cyn, Bill and Maxie.

I know that Sapphy and o/h will come if they are available and if not going to a business meeting.

I know the Cel expressed on an earlier post that she would like to come - I think train gets in at 2ish so was thinking of booking a table at 3pm on Saturday afternoon to give you a chance to get to your hotel hun and then come and join us.

I will ask Jax if she wants to join us for tea as well.

and really folks everyone is very is extremely welcome to join us, please just let me know ASAP as contray to Turbs saying we can book 3 weeks before I want to ensure we have a reservation to cope with our numbers especially as we will have a big table.

Bettys tea place has come very highly recomended from Oporto's family who went there recently and gave great reviews.
