At the other meet ups we have carried Teddies lol

Thanks Joanne, I would like to come will check out trains and let you know.

Hi Susan Yep, no probs with lift - you are first to ask (from train to school!) would you also like one to Brewsters after? Yes, we definitely need to figure out how to recognise each other. Maybe some sort of badge. Possibly with GC on rather than names for when we first meet up. Safer than advertising our names to strangers at train station etc. Does anyone else have any ideas? Joanne

Joanne Any chance of a skateboard and a tow rope just in case your car gets full.would like a lift please from wakefield westgate to the school if possible. How we all going to recognise each other,any suggestions badges,flowers? Thanks SUE

Hi June - the date is Saturday 13 November and the nearest train station will be Wakefield Westgate. Hope you can come! Joanne

What date is it and which is the nearest train station please? June

me too joanne - my neighbour is on a stall at the fair as well - hehehe - wonder if she will give me freebies hehehehe her son and my husband were best mates as kids and about a year ago we discovered a link in the families 4 or 5 generations ago. and Wakey museum have a great exhibition on just now - all about the war years and the bombing of the city - going to check it out this week .

Sue and Sheila - will sort you getting to Brewster, and yes you can play in the ball pool if you are good girls lol!! Keith, I've added you to the list. That's 11 of us now. Getting exciting already! Joanne

put my name down please will be coming thanx

oooooh - can we go in Charlie Chalks bit? lol and I will need a lift to there from the school

hi joanne. that sounds fine to me. i will not have transport , so cannot help with lifts - sorry- , will see you all at 10. 30. cannot wait !!! lol sue.

Right lovely ladies (and gents!) I've made a booking for us at Brewsters on Calder Island for 1pm on the 13th. They don't usually take bookings for a weekend but as it's lunch rather than dinner they've made an exception. For those who don't have their own transport DO NOT WORRY! Brewsters is only a few mins from Cathedral school by car so I have no problems doing a few runs back and forth to get you all there. It's my pleasure to help. So we could all meet at the school for 10.30 and have a couple of hours there before moving on. If anyone needs a lift from the train station let me know and I can do a pickup from there. This is all exciting! The names I have so far are Me! Sue Smith in WY Sue Dale in Normanton Russell (tracing my family history) Helen Proctor in Normanton Susan from Otley Sheila Wray Lou from Leicestershire Brenda Mills in Oldham Jenny in Tynemouth Keith Red Devil Which makes 11 so far. I've made the booking for 20 and told them I will confirm the final number nearer the time. They only need to know a week in advance for staffing levels and table arrangement etc. Hope this is satisfactory to you all. If your name isn't on the above list let me know so I can keep an up to date list of names. And those needing transport from Train Station to Cathedral School and from Cathedral School to Brewsters let me know (also let me know if you are able to help with transport too.) Joanne

well maggy - for the funeral in featherstone we had to park in the kwik save car park then the lovely lady vicar had to get someone to go out and ask the chap using the pneumatic drill to stop for a wee while lol - its a bigger wee place that I thought lol and then we went to Pontefract Crem - I noticed there was a bus stop just outside it - handy that .

What town is that Maggy? Joanne

Good for you She! How did you like our "lovely" town?? I know it's not much to look at, but it is home to me!

hi - doesnt young Gemma from Wakeys folks have a pub? we could keep it in the family so to speak by using that lol. and maggy - i DID take a notepad and pen with me today lol - and boy - got LOADS of info and pics heheheh

Hi Joanne/Sue Smith in WY I have just rung the ADMIRAL DUNCAN on THORNES LANE they do food on fri/sat lunch but seemingly they have only a small area for tables for lunch.I am going to ring the landlady tomorrow lunch time to see how many people she can accomodate for lunch on the 13th. Will let you all know tomorrow night. The barmaid suggested HOLMEFIELD ARMS IN HOLME PARK anyone of you know this pub or could someone get the phone number and ring them to see if they can accommodate a group for lunch/dinner on the 13th.Please pretty please. Sue
