I mentioned the other day that I have a number of work trips around the country planned for the next couple of months, many of which will involve overnight stays.
The first is in Manchester where I’ll be working at Square One on the Thursday and staying at the Ancoats Travelodge before taking the Friday off and mooching about (probably trying to visit the IWM) before catching the 19:15 train back.
I spent a night in the city a few months ago which was lovely, but perhaps this time it might be nicer to have a little company and not get a little pickled with only myself and Chelsea v BATE Borisov on the big screen for entertainment. (Although, if no-one’s about, I can live with that!)
If any of the MME are around and available on either / both of the below dates and fancy meeting up for an hour or two, let me know and I’d be delighted to sort something
Thursday evening - beer / wine / soft drink & a bite to eat
Friday lunchtime - tea / coffee / sandwich type thingy
Little on on the Thursday night in terms of non-league games or gigs, but City Women are playing Everton Women at 7pm. It’s quite a good standard and there’s a direct tram (get off the Ashton-bound tram at Velo Park).
I’ll be around from about 6pm tomorrow if anyone Manc based fancies a drink.Was going to find a tap-room or similar to spend a couple of hours in and read if all else fails.
Also, Friday lunchtime I’ll be free if anyone fancies a spot of lunch and will be around Piccadilly from about half 6 before getting the 19:55 train back towards the smoke.
Going to tag @Matt_was_taken and @anon45164313 since they showed interest before - no worries if you can’t make it guys. Anyone else around, more than welcome.
