The September Shuffle

Unread post by mickthemaverick »

The time has come for a return to the Northeast to catch up with developments at Beamish and touch base with other members. So Jim and I are venturing North again on Tuesday September 24th to spend two nights at the Lambton Worm and the intervening day visiting Beamish and hopefully catching up with Steve and Neil at the very least. Then we shall take in more of Yorkshire before overnighting in Clitheroe and then heading home on Friday 27th. So if you are able to meet up please post up your where and when's and we will endeavour to meet one and all :-D

Should be able to manage a meet, perhaps at Bargain Books if you are intending to drop in there.

Not finalised those plans yet Steve but I think it's likely that we'll start the day on Wednesday at Bargain Books and then come back down to Beamish. Thursday's plan will probably not permit going up to Alnwick so Wednesday will be the best bet. :-D

I have just heard from the Worm and they are fully booked for the 24th, still awaiting confirmation for 25th!! Meanwhile the hunt began for a replacement and I immediately came across this which makes you wonder why we bother to enter our needs!! (Bear in mind I am logged into the site and they have both our details already!)

Sorry I can't help, clueless about hotels.
Last time I stayed in one was in Belgium in 2009.
None in England since London 1976.

No problem Steve, you have to remember I worked at ICI Wilton for 18 months and stayed in most of them within 25 miles, it was just a matter of finding one with the rooms we need when we need them!! (Not to mention the Swedish maids of course :-D )

If there's some Friday shenanigans in the NW, then I could probably have a run down; only 2-3 hours from here.

That would be brilliant Richard, we do intend to meet Matt for lunch and it would be even better if you can make it too. I'm waiting for Matt to suggest a venue so if you have any ideas let us know!! :-D
