Sounds good to me! smiley - ok

BTW, I am now working on questions for the quiz. There'll be a section on Bradford, with all the answers taken from my Bradford Guide Entry, a section based on this week's new Edited Entries, and a 'current affairs' section based on this week's news stories on the BBC News site. I might throw in some Douglas Adams-related questions too.

So smiley - dontpanic, but you have been warned... smiley - devil

Changed your mind about only coming for smiley - ale and curry?

My train arrives at 13:13 from Leeds (though I'll probably board at Bramley). Take that one and I'm sure I'll be able to find you.

One thing that might make life easier for the smiley - ale part of the day is if everyone can wear shoes and not trainers. There are quite a few Bradford pubs that get fussy about footwear on Saturday evenings, so if they can't turn us away on those grounds (as one pub did at the last Manchester meet) we have a better chance of a good venue for the smiley - ale and quiz.

I'm hoping we can get in at a place called the Old Bank, which has good smiley - ale and doesn't bother with a dress code, but there's always the possibility that it'll be packed on the night.

2legs - sure, email me with that, though I don't have a mobile meself.

Heck, there's a complicated journey plan, including standing about in Leeds for an hour and a half. I'm amazed there's not another train to Bradford in that time.

Ormy - What about jeans? I don't own any trainers, so no worries on that point.
