I've confirmed Saturday's meet with the relevant folk, so here is the suggested itinerary.Obviously in the time available its only possible to have a "look see" at the various places, but I hope folk enjoy it.
I will be outside the Cathedral on the main road at 10 am .For those who havent met me I will be carrying a big red umbrella (this has no signifuicance other than to keep the rain off !)
At 10.30 we meet our Guide, for the tour, which will last about an hour.
For lunch there is the Cathedral cafe opposite or , round the corner, is the wellington Inn and Sinclairs in Shambles Square (google shambles manchester for an interesting read), or indeed numerous other places around.

FRIDAY EVENING
As a few folk will be staying at the premier Inn ({printworks) on Deansgate;( the link that ggill posted shows the location.).
over the weekend, it has been suggested that folk meet them there for a meal on Friday night,if they wish, as an add on to Saturdays event. i would suggest folk turn up about 7.30pm....
For folk travelling to piccadilly Station; id suggest getting the Metrolink tram to victoria station (tram for Victoria or Bury)get ticket before you get on),specially if you dont know manchester)..
Leave the station by the exit near the Tearooms, then follow the road round to the right. keep going till you come to a T junction (Victoria Bridge).
You will see the Premier Inn on the left,across the road.
