Ok down to srious business now cos it;s not far away. Apologies for what is a list of requests and stuff but it really is essentialyou get back to me by not later than 30th April on the following :

1. Are you coming or not?

2. If you are coming on Friday night do you want us to meet up to eat or do your own thing?

3. Those who are staying over Saturday - do you want to join the group for an evening meal?

4. Do you have any mobility issues I need to take account of? (This really is very important) - please PM me if you do. York is a 'walkable ' city for the most part but some bits like the wall are not suitable if you have mobility issues


The answers to the above determine what we do. If you think anyone might have missed this post, please tell them cos once I book nos for restaurant it's gonna be hard to change (I will be posting some possible places and menus shortly)


Ok what we gonna do when we get there ?


Saturday am - National Railway Museum and archives )FREE)- the usual coffee , chat and a bit of exploring (They have archives of railway workers apparently - new addition)

Lunch - probably at Railway Museum cos is big enough

Saturday pm - Visit to the Minster (THis is where the nos come in. If enough we get in FREE. If not we pay £6 av a head)

Followed by a walk round the bit of the city wall behind the Minster and of course The Shambles.

Pub & Dinner


Sunday - To avoid folks wandering round with luggage I suggest the Yorvick centre which has a group discount plus a storage facility for baggage. BUT do note most of this museum is underground so if this is not for you please let me know because there are plenty of alternatives we can look at.


Remember replies by 30 April - even if just a maybe - but will want definities by mid May .

If you need more info at this stage gimme a buzz


To those from chatroom - not maintaining a separate list for you guys so post here please!

Hi Ann (and fellow York pilgrims),

I am coming Friday and am meeting Bev at York train station around 3.30pm.

Not sure about Friday night  yet but think I am leaning towards doing my own thing, maybe meet three or four people before the actual meet begins. Other than that I will fine with he meal on Saturday nght and do not have any mobility issues. Underground is ok for me too :) My friend cannot join me now as he will be in Amsterdam.

That's me done. I would also like to thank those organising this meet (mainly Ann) for doing all the recon and bookings of tables etc. Thankyou :) It will be a great weekend I am sure.

Matt :)

Hi Ann

I am definitely coming - with husband

We will sort ourselves out on Friday night

We would like to join in the Saturday meal

No mobility problems or concerns about being underground!

Really looking forward to seeing the Minster again.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I will be there on Friday but not sure what time, so probably best you don't count me in food, but will know better nearer the time..... depends on what my parents are doing as am staying at their flat...! Might be able to do a drink.....  (If my parents are there will have dinner with them, but if not then I won't have dinner with them and might more likely be free.... I guess I need to find out if my parents are there! They do know I am coming....!) :D

Will be there on Saturday all day and all night...... (and would like to eat)

The only mobility problems I have are when my car doesn't start...... but since that won't be allowed in the museums anyway I guess I'll have to walk ;) 

I will be there on Sunday........

 ;D
