Leeds meet up?

[winterinmoscow]

I dunno if the one before xmas happened but does anyone fancy one in January post xmas rush? I was thinking somewhere pretty quiet but I'm newish to Leeds, have met very few of you, and would probably end up asking for directions anyway! Anyone up for it?

 

[Pete the Greek]

Hi!

Yeah, this sounds great! I don't think the last one happened and if it did, PtG weren't asked!

Serious though, it's a top idea and I've never met up with Urbies before so it should be larks and barrels of beer etc etc

I hear the Angel bar is a good bet.

Who reckons two weekends time, perhaps a Friday?........

 

[Pete the Greek]

anyone up for meeting up in leeds?

echooooo...

 

[winterinmoscow]

cool - you mean the 26th? I should be able to make it. Friday is not such a bad night for me either

what's the angel bar like and where is it? dunno Leeds that well.

So there's 2 up for it so far, anyone else?

 

[Pete the Greek]

I am quite new to West Yorks too, and I'm hazy on Leeds, but when I browsed the Leeds thread on Midlands/North, people praise the Angel bar in the town centre, so it looks good from what I can see.

I'm not sure exactly where it is, but a little net style sleuthing should yield dividends I'd imagine.

Let's try and drum up support for a Leeds evening out

 

[GorillaBiscuits]

Im up for it.

the angel is on angel inn yard, an alley just off briggate (turn right after music zone if your walking down briggate)

any more takers?

 

[joustmaster]

i'll come

the angel is in the centre. its a sam smiths pub

 

[citygirl]

nah, the one before xmas just didn't happen...so, NOONE got ignored

just notoriously difficult to get us all out in the cold at night...

"the hebden lot" want a meet too...and bearing in mind probably over half of us would be planning to go to that too, we should split the difference, and we'll all end up going to halifax

;0

 

[Spion]

In theory I'm up for a meet, tho I've seen so many failed attempts now I think some world weariness on my part is apt

 

[joustmaster]

so the 26th in the angel. What time

 

[winterinmoscow]

about 8? count me out if ppl are going on anywhere after. Have no stamina these days me!! Actually can do anytime, will be nice to meet you all

 

[Pete the Greek]

yeah ditto....I think the turnout will be there this time.
It'll be good.

Come on folks, get yer best glad rags and drinkers spirits in gear

:-D

A-ha!

Pete and I are good at meet-ups in the North. We did the Hebden Bridge meet-up, even though it ended up being just us two.

There will be no failed attempts with us.

Oh no!

 

[Pete the Greek]

Bring it on Dissy Junk, you know it makes sense.

You and I are certs....

We just need everyone else to be real 'angels' and turn up at the 'Angel'

ho ho ho

veeeery funny.

Come on guys, it'll be good

 

[joustmaster]

do we have some kind of secret sign so i know who you all are. I don't want to be wandering about asking random groups of people if they are an urbanite. I already get enough funny looks...

 

[Roadkill]

I'm in 'ull that weekend, so depending on what's going on over there I could be tempted to pop over to Leeds for the evening.

If a certain kind sibling wouldn't mind putting me up, that is ... ?

ah well, that's where the urban-radar comes into it ...me and WiM knew each other straight away...although, to be fair, we were the only 2 people hanging around outside leeds train station at the time

so, if we meet somewhere less busy, and then we could just decide from there.

i can come, but money WILL be an issue, as this falls 2 days before payday...but i'm determined not to miss this one, even if it means i'm on water all night (which is fine too)

anyway, lets see if we can make this happen this time...but what about making a more central spot to meet...bradford, would mean halifax side wouldn't have to travel so far, and most of us have at least some travelling anyway...

just a thought...either way is easy for me, personally.

 

[boha]

i should be ok for 26th.

mind you, its like herding cats getting us lot out

the title says leeds meetup not bradford

if you build a flag or some kind of massive flashing sign to help identify you all i'll buy you a pint...

 

[citygirl]

ok! down boy!

was only...suggesting

i don't drink...pint of juice will do just as well.

 

[Pete the Greek]

still up for this, and as far as I'm aware, it's still the friday 26th Jan, at the Angel, is that correct?

 

[winterinmoscow]

i just wondered how long it would be before you wanted to sidle over to this side of Yorkshire!

For the record, dearest brother, you would be very welcome

 

[winterinmoscow]

surely a whole load of ppl arriving in 1s and 2s and looking around.... I'm sure we'll find each other.

or we all could post up what we're going to wear!

 

[winterinmoscow]

duuuuuuh repeat post

 

[Pete the Greek]

I am pretty confident of a decent turnout this time....I estimate even at a conservative guess of at least half a dozen, which aint baddios.

Come on guys, we're bound to spot one another...well, maybe not!

I'm the greek looking one. You wont miss me. I'll stick out like a sore thumb in Leeds city centre.



I'm looking forward to it already

p.s. if anyone who is coming knows the layout of the Angel bar (which I don't) could they possibly pledge to try and capture a certain part of the bar upon arrival in order to help distinguish themselves as Urbanites from others - for the benefit of confused urbaies that turn up cold, wet and confused?

TA CHOCK!

 

[citygirl]

yep, count us in

The Angel, 26th...time?....

well WiM, at least me and you know each other hun

 

[MsShirlLaverne]

I may come, not sure yet

 

[winterinmoscow]

.

well WiM, at least me and you know each other hun

I was just gonna PM you and say that!! So looking forward to seeing you again!

 

[winterinmoscow]

i have never been to the Angel bar in my life but could try and do a recce there sometime.... or maybe not!

 

[Pete the Greek]

neither me - but I know where to park me jam jar though. See ya there folks.
