Day Trip Between London and Manchester?

[Mark Davies]

<font color='#000080'>John,

A cracking itinerary there - it sounds like the basis for a YD (Manchester Branch) invitation outing!

Anyone else fancy it?

[Mr T.]

Hey Jonny,

You just may have very well hit the nail on the head with that suggestion! Sounds very much like a play. OK, looks like a troop gig in the offing for the 06th &amp; 07th Sept - North West Styleee:


1. Honourable Guest to the UK - 'Sacramento' Tony
2. YD Ambassador Jonny Holmes
3. YD Ambassador Mark Davies
4. YD Ambassador Bren Tierney
5.

Ball-park itinerary:

Something resembling what Holmesy put up above, including, but not to exclude, sherry, diving, 'Thru'pennies Bar', diving followed by a sherry or five. Yes, I rather fancy the sound of that - YD takes Manhattan ! &nbsp; &nbsp;


Right then your North West lot (OK, even the Scousers!), let's be having your names in the ring. Oh go on then, sod it, let's throw the doors open to all and sundry and make a proper Troop Gig out of proceedings. Let's be having you.

bit confused here boys...are we drinking or diving???
If we are diving I could be up for it, need to keep that stoopid grin topped up somehow.

Hi Jules,

Definitely diving - we're introducing a foreign, yet fellow diver around the environs of our diving locale so he can appreciate the wets of offer (e.g. the Cape, Eccy Delph, Anglesey, the Lakes - i.e. Wastwater etc.)

So, join us sister! Bring Lesley, Liz and Chris and enjoy the diving. We can choose where and when we dive - and meet up in the PM both nights for a polite medium-sweet sherry....or two! &nbsp;

See ya there.

now then, I'm off that weekend, but was hoping for some salty action instead of a quarry. &nbsp;Anglesey?

[Chris Hall]

I've been e-mailing Tony, I'm trying to get a w/ends diving arranged for him at the mo, as well as looking into accom for him &amp; his good lady wife while they are here.

Hoping to use Terry &amp; Yellow Butty Box on &quot;JulieAnne&quot; for the 6/7 Sept.

Will let you know if it comes off.

[Mr T.]

Hey Chris,

Top idea dude. Are you going for the full boat or just taking up slack spaces?? If so, how many?? How soon will you know so we can get a YD Team Sheet up?? Let us know if it's on ad we can move the gig to Planned Trips.

Happy Days.

[Mark Davies]

<font color='#000080'>Bren,

I'm taking up some of those spaces with Elfyn on the Julie Anne this Sunday. I'll make some enquiries and see what we can sort out - a bit far away from the Manchester hot spots though!

Chris,

Are they planning to stay in Manchester? If so I might find it easier to sort some accommodation at this end. Let me know what they're looking for if you need any help.

Mark.

[Chris Hall]

JulieAnne is ful for that w/end so will try and find another boat. Will get back when I get some info.

Sorry for the late response, but I didnt' know this thread was still active.

Wow, I didnt' think my question would turn into a party! &nbsp;It would be great to be part of a group dive. &nbsp;As Chris mentioned, we've been PMing regarding a dive. &nbsp;Hopefully something in the sea.

Mark, we are staying in Manchester from the 5th through the 13th. &nbsp;I'll PM you with the details and any advice you can provide as well would be great.

Thanks all!
Tony
