Good thought DJ, and I can't remember unfortunately, (Doh) but possibly Dave?

Having said that, it's their only board room (for up to 12 people) :-s

I'll be there as soon after noon as possible, depending on weather and traffic, so should have it sorted for the allocated time.

I'll be the one in the bar (if they have one) from 12.15 onwards. |>

Has anyone heard if Jake's up to making it? Seems a shame he has to miss after doing all the groundwork. :-(

Liquid lunch, eh? Aren't you going to be hungry, or are you going to eat on the train?

Haven't heard from Jake.

Just checked. The hotel has a bar, but it's not open until 1pm.

Ah well, have to plan something else then (unless they'll open the bar for a bona fide resident?)

Driving down, not on the train so a bit of breakfast before I set off.

Hoping to leave home (North of Bury) around 10.00 - 10.15 so it's traffic dependent and how lost I can get in your fair city...(I've got a reasonable idea where I'm going though it's a while since I've been there)

Once off the M6 i think you just follow signs for the train station, trying to shift a few things around so i can attend with my youngest Son anyone know if there's any disabled Car Parking near by ?

I wouldn't bother trying to drive in the city centre, its always busy especially near the station. You could probably find some car parks on google maps that aren't so close. There is a school holiday that finishes tomorrow so I'm sure it will be packed on a friday.

Does anyone know what we're asking for when they ask "can I help you" at the hotel reception desk?

I think it's Syndicate 1 boardroom. Just say you're there for the 1-5pm boardroom thing. I'll be leaving in a few minutes.

Hi. Thanks to everyone who came - far and wide. I had a great afternoon meeting everyone. It's a shame not everyone could come, and those who came but had to leave so early. I did a pub crawl with Joe and Dave this evenin. They are probably in the hotel bar now as I write this.

Can't wait for the next meet up!

Photos will follow after I've had a shower.
