    Oh, sorry floss2. Why not wait and see what others say? We might have to move it to end of September if lots of other people can't do August. A lot of folks are on holiday then too (if they can afford it).

    My next door neighbours have a large paddling pool in their backyard. I think that will have to be my spa break :rotfl:Only joking, I wouldn't let any of my neigbours see me in a swimming costume :eek:

    Oooh,
    I'm currently in the People's Republic of North Wales (Halfway Up Snowdonia division) but my mam is from the Wirral so I'd be quite interested.
    A picnic in any green space would be great, I'm sure we can think up our own fun - in fact, I can always make some scrumpy ;)

    August or September will be fine for me, and Saturday is good to, if we get a break we tend to go midweek. AM happy to go with the majority decision.:beer:

    If the meeting is in Machester I can come any Saturday (exept those when Man Utd is playing home - then I'm working) until the end of the year.
    City centre is a tram ride for me or even nice walk when the weather is nice (more MSE :) )

    It`s the Manchester Metrolink. Update to my earlier post- I will be able to come anytime in Aug or Sept. The redundancy I had been expecting in December has been brought forward. We were told today that there would be no more work for us after the end of this week!!!!!!!:( So gutted cos I love my job and my colleagues.
