Tight wad; live it up, get a double.

 

[GeoffHill]

I'll be able to give a 2 or 3 people a lift up from newcastle airport, I'd rather not go to the station, as I'd have to drive into town

Are the natives really that unfriendly?

I'd get trapped in the station one way system, I wouldn't be able to escape for weeks

Hi Iggy: main thread is here: ((there was a url link here which no longer exists)) but you may want to go to the end of the thread and work your way back - some of the people around here do tend to waffle on a bit in these threads...



Bottom line is:

Location: Beach House Hotel in Seahouses, Northumberland (i.e. Oop North). See earlier posts for details of booking with the Hotel. If it gets full, there are others nearby as this is a popular holiday location.

Dates: Friday 4th to Sunday 6th April 2008.

Program: bacon, eggs, sausage, fried mushrooms, fried slice, beans (not fried) (probably), orange juice, tea, Follow Dave in car, get lost, drink real ales, take some pictures, lunch, real ales, long walk in the freezing cold (did I mention it is in April and oop north?) take the occasional photo, real ale, take some more pics, real ales, show pictures around back in the pub (purely optional to bring some), real ale, dinner, real ales, sleep. Repeat for two days...

Hope you can make it, Bob.

Actually, I was hoping we might get the chance to drink some real ale too!

I hope the Owterzeds aren't playing in the bar Sat night ...

Here's a quote from Les' post with the contact information.

Just back from the Beach House Hotel in Seahouses and the deal for the 4th to 6th April weekend is as follows:-

Dinner, Bed and Breakfast per person £50
No single room supplement
Dinner menu will give a choice of 3 each of Starters, Main course and Desert, however should anyone prefer the main menu they can have that and pay the difference.
If you have any special dietry requirements please let them know when booking.
The telephone number is 01665 720337
Please mention that you are part of the APUG group and mention my name.
There is plenty parking space

Bob's description of the weekend's itinerary is pretty accurate, although we also try to sample the local real ale from time to time...

or a Bikers meet!

Very interested in coming up for this - although only just seen this thread.

Will check the diary.

Don't bother with the diary; just book a room.

 

[Dave Miller]

Since folk may want to arrange their annual holiday around this prestigious event, I thought an end of year bump appropriate. I'm not sure how many have booked, but there may be rooms still available.

 

[Sandeha Lynch]

I'm now even more gladder that I made it to two gatherings in 2007 ... the spring of 2008 is getting crowded and it will be a last minute decision.

 

[Mark Burley]

Have now booked, the blue campervan will be in attendance with both Norma and I.

Get a shift on Sandeha!

Really sorry I won't be able to make this one - the date clashes with my wedding anniversary. Obviously if I happen to get divorced between now and early April I will book my room!

Would not a wedding anniversary in Northumberland with your husband be nice? and what a coincidence, all these APUGers staying in the same B&B as yours.
The world is very small after all.

 

[FrankB]

Typical of you, McWhinnie; anything to get out of standing your round!

 

[Martin Aislabie]

The more the merrier, I would say Martin. I would imagine that there are still rooms available.

Arrive on friday, and personally, I am there untill monday, though I would imagine that some will be leaving on the Sunday. It will be good to meet you.

Regards

Stoo

 

[Martin Aislabie]

Thanks Stoo

Sounds like fun

Martin

I'm also going to have to bow out of this one ... hopefully I'll be able to come to the autumn one instead.
