12th May - drinks outdoors.

Great. Then I also know the pub that we'll be going to. A bit of an 'old man' pub but serves a good pint and has an outdoor bit with chairs. Shams it's next to a busy road, but you can't have everything, I suppose.

Vote number one!

Are you thinking of gracing us with your presence, 2legs?

There should be a 2legs smiley.

Well, not the 28th April because I'll be Meeting in London then, but any of the others are equally open at the moment. A lot depends on Z's work rota, and we won't know about that until he changes rotation later in the spring.

PS - drop me an email to let me know what you decide.

B

Will do.

April's out for me too - I'll just have returned from America so will still be very jet-lagged I expect.

Already crossed off.

a I might have to start a campaign to get one I might be able to be said to be potentially considering the likelyhood of this meet, not bene to Leeds since... ooo eck.... the spring onion... that was in leeds wasn't it? There are a lot of potential meets coming up at the moment, obviously the London meet in April, a potential mini meet in London before that, a beer festavil meet in Broadstairs, and there's a Scottish meet in May or sometime like that also I think, which are all competing with my frantic n o n d i a r y I'll have to see, it'l start getting rediculus when I begin spending over the current £600 a year (with my railcards third discount included), on travlling by Rail so I'll ahve to see what the are looking like when I've budgeted in for my new PC

Sure. We're always happy to see you, 2legs.

Well I'm interested. I think any of the dates would be good for me.

By the way, which pubs is it that you know? There's a few good ones around in the centre.

Aha, someone with greater knowledge than me!

Initially I was going to head for the Scarborough Hotel or the Prince of Wales as a)they serve a good pint and b)they are next to the station and very easy to find.

On Thursday Richard and I are going to head to the Angel Inn and anywhere else we see on the way to check them out- do you have any recommendations?

*wanders by*

Does anyone still have a copy of 'me'? 'Cause, of course, any date works

As far as 2legs and meets, *sometime* he has a micromeet in the redwoods to go to--I'd say he has a couple years until PaperBaby is still little, and thus to fulfill his promise that he'd get over here (actually, when the promise was made, it was to get over *there* *points 375 miles to the south-south-west*) while she was still little. Cost-wise, looks like his estimate in rail costs is about what it'd cost to fly roundtrip

Start swimming, mate.

My knowledge clearly isn't that good, as I don't know the Prince of Wales. The Scarborough Taps is pretty decent, though.

Let's see, Whitelocks is definitely worth a visit A4187586. It's on the way to the Angel, I think. Also the Grove, which is a bit of a walk to the south. There's another I'd recommend, but I've forgotten its name. Lemme think about it.

mmm Leeds...
The Scarborough would be good. Not been in the Prince of Wales or many other Leeds pubs (though the timewarp that is Whitelocks is great).

Then perhaps we'll make it the Scarborough, at least for the meeting place. We can move to somewhere else if we'd like to. I popped into the Horse and Trumpet today, which looked quite good. The Ship (which is hidden down an alley right in the middle of town) had a good feel but only two hand pumps, none with beer attached.

Need to look up Whitelocks.

we could have...sort of like a pub crawl...but more haphazardly wandering between establishments.....

Now *that* I could live with.
