    Manchester Christmas Meet 2019

    The Manchester Christmas meet is being planned for 13th December 2019. It will be held at Pie and Ale - M1 1FN - in the popular Northern Quarter.

    Everyone most welecome. Even you! Partners have always been invited to attend CUK meets and have been most welcome.

    To ensure we can meet in comfort I am booking a table so please do let me know if you are attending then I can give them an idea of numbers. We usually get the odd lurker(or even normal lurkers) who just turn up anyway.

    In the past events have been accompanied by a hotel list. I believe there is a new site that lists sites which have links to hotels. I think it is called google or something : if you are having troubles let me know and I will ask some computer nerd to dig it out.

    Thanks to originalPM for the assistance in planning this event.

      I'll see how many BAEC points I need nearer the time.

      Never been to Manchester, not sure I should break that habit...

      But it's good of you to organise. It's more than I would do!

            I have a table booked from 6pm to 11pm for 10 people.

            I am hoping it is going to be more than just oPM and me!

            I have PMed a few people who I know live close by and a couple of the regulars at meet ups.
