Chris, you can park on city road which runs up from the train station up towards Harkers, there is a set of steps which take you down to the canal side just by the Travel Lodge or  Premier inn.

Just to let you know I may see you all there for a drink later on. This Harkers looks looks to be on the site of a pub called the Steam mill which I used to run many years ago. Does anyone know if it was the Steam mill before.

Will be good to see you if you can make it Mike.

Looking at the "history" section of the website it seems the current people have been there since 1985 and converted it from the original warehouse - so seems unlikely.

Is your Dad's friend not coming along Kev?

if he does he'll just pop in he said

[Chris24]

Not 100% sure yet but I may need to back out of coming to the meal but will decide nearer the day.   :(I have somehow without realising managed to over stretch the bank account and gone £150 past my overdraft limit and its still 2 weeks till the next pay day. (Damn flat month pay packets with no OT, how are you meant to live on a flat month !)

I want to go and have a great night out, however a 130 mile road trip for a meal may not be such a good idea on the finances at the moment.

Will decide and let you know either way next week.

[Fran]

Thats a shame Chris, but can understand your position.  Just let us know nearer the time.

Well I was thinking of changing my mind last night when I heard i was getting a £270 cheque in the post, but this mornings little black ice incident is relieving me of £200 of it before i have even got it so it's still unlikely now that i will attend.

[Kev_mk3]

hope all is well Chris.

[Chris24]

Still hope yet, I opened some mail this morning that has been sat there a while and discovered a cheque inside for some shares sold after a merger or something. So that was a nice added bonus that I didn't know about yesterday. Paid it in today so I may still make it to Chester yet.

First no money, then money, then a crash so no money again and then an unexpected check so money again. I feel like a damn yo yo this week, down, up, down up.

See what happens between now and Saturday but all being well I I might just make it yet.

[Fran]

Fingers crossed that you avoid disaster between now and Saturday Chris!

You are still booked in.
