Tim and I are holding a north-west meet at our local pub, near Manchester Airport, on
Saturday 29th March. Here are the final details:

If you are looking on an OS map (or A-Z) of the area, you will see a cross marking a church at the airport end of Sunbank lane where we are. The church is immediately next door to our house, and opposite the Romper pub.
Following brown signs to the Aviation Viewing Park (and yellow signs to Concorde) is another good way to find us, as they will take you past our front door. Make a fun day of it and do some aeroplane spotting in the morning
The viewing park is a short walk around the corner from our house and the pub.
If you come by train, the nearest station is Manchester Airport train station, and from the Airport bus station you can catch a bus to the airport cargo centre, then cut through to the pub from there (a 2 minute walk from the cargo centre bus stop).
If you will need to charge your car up for longer than the duration of the meet, then we don't mind giving you access to our electricity before the meet starts
by prior arrangement. You'll need to wander off and entertain yourself at the viewing park or elsewhere until 12 though.
PUB FACILITIES:
The pub (The Romper) is literally within spitting distance of our house, and has good disabled access and a disabled toilet.
They have a reasonable selection of vegetarian meals as well as carnivorous meals, and they can cater for coeliacs (gluten-intolerant) too.
The pub is child friendly if you are thinking of bringing kids, and they do have high chairs for young ones. There is no kids play area however. The pub do not allow dogs in.
Although Tim and I will be eating lunch, there is no obligation to buy lunch if you would rather save all your pennies for your electric car project. The pub serve a good selection of beer, wine and soft drinks for those that would prefer a light liquid lunch
CHARGING FACILITIES:
We have room on our driveway for 4 vehicles to charge up if needed. If we get more than that coming then we may be able to arrange further charging at the pub -
Please tell me in advance if you require charging facilities so that I can make sure we can cater for everyone.
CONTACT:
If you get lost on the day, or have any questions, you can phone my mobile: 07751 696 055.

To get an idea of numbers so we know how big a table to sit at when we get to the pub, it would be great if people could comment here to say they are coming, or text me, email, snailmail, carrier pigeon....
Thanks,
Mary.
