    Don't forget jw that it will be the end of October in the cold North West :D The camp site thing was a joke, but if you want to go under canvas for the night, don't let us stop you :D:D

    Anyway, I'm thinking that if we are in a hotel, then even if it doesn't have a bar etc, then we can always party the night away in one of our rooms. See, even cheaper weekend - bring your own booze :D

    I'm off camping this weekend, and unless the waether improves significantly I can't see me getting enthusiastic about camping at the end of October.;)

    I like the idea of bring a bottle though. The date should be o.k with me TM, bit of a trek from here, but I think we can manage. P.s Next time can we all come here, there's a lakeland in Ipswich don't you know, :D .No seriously anywheres fine by me I'm loojking forward to meeting everyone, and talking to some people who's eyes don't glaze over when I mention vinegar, breadmakin, slow cooking, bicarb, store cupboard............Oi wake up!

    TM you can add me to your confirmed list of names.

    P.S. Thanks for organising this get together, you deserve a medal (HM from recycled products of course) :cool:

    if you're coming to manchester, i'll pop along, i could probably put up a couple of people in the spare room if anyone's desperate for accommodation and dont mind sharing a bed with a load of stuffed dogs ;) that is if my girlfriend agrees.
