h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

First question: Where?

The Trafford Centre?

Wigan?

the Centre of Manchester?

Blackpool?

Bolton?

other suggestions?

A pub

I'd still like to do the Halifax Haricot. Halifax is a lovely town, the Piece Hall has some great shops (including a -themed one with broomsticks 'parked' outside, and there's a good choice of picturesque pubs.

never been there.... is it easy to get to in terms of transport?

It certainly is by train. There are regular and late-running direct trains between Halifax and Manchester.

Any chance of doing this on the last weekend in July?

That's fine by me! It'd be good to see you again before you head north to become a McAnt.

Two hours by train, change at Leeds for me. Doable.

I can't get back to Marple from Manchester after 9pm Would love to meet some random people though, so may be able to sort summat

halifax is a cool little pituresque town and easy to get to just off m62
between leeds and manchester, been many times in the days of old ,
guess would have to check train times though

Having just had a look at online train times, there are trains between Manchester and Marple after 9pm, just not to the other railway station in Marple. It's not that far between the two...

Rose Hill is nearer, but the other one is not too* far away for hubby to pick me up from there, if that is where we are going to go.

Hmm... it's all gone rather quiet here. What's happening? Are we, in fact, meeting in Halifax a week on Saturday? Should I be mailing the Italics and begging for quiz prizes, and should we be fine-tuning the details of when and where?

Perhaps everyone's just too hot to post.

How about Fado's pub on Fourth Street in Austin? I could make that one

I won't be there a week on saturday, and nor will BEG: we'll both be on holiday. Sorry, but...

I'm free pretty much all of the time.

I'm a maybe.

Someone needs to grab hold of this conversation by the scruff of the neck and make a decision on when and where
so....
is it halifax then????
is it a week on sat???

if you wanna come along then post...
of if somewhere else is better for eveeryone then speak out

I personnally dont mind where or when the meet is.


But i will be there

That's exactly what I was trying to do.

So: Halifax, July 29. Who else is in?

Sounds good to me Ormy
