Returning to Hebden Bridge, Friday 16th/Saturday 17th November (with added Beer Fest)

[William of Walworth]

Really looking forward to this very welcome return to West Yorkshire's capital of -ness in just under two weeks time.

Deb has never been to Yorkshire and she is really keen on this too ...

She is driving me up the Friday afternoon, 16th November, and we will be in circulation from early Friday evening onwards, we are staying over til Sunday.

We'll be staying with our non-Urban friends Flip and Mrs Flip (of efestivals), now Hebden residents , but the mooses and Tort and MsShirl all know about this and all are likely to be around .... but if any other Northern Urbanites fancies a few pints and some social time on either Friday evening or Saturday, then come along!

There will be even more quality ales than usual at the very wonderful Fox and Goose in Hebden over the weekend -- they're having a beer festival. Can't find specific details of the fest, but apparantly there'll be 12 to 15 extra beers ...

Plus All Roots North at the ale-friendly and excellent Trades Club on Saturday 17th, hopefully til quite late ... if you're in the mood for dancing etc.

Get yer drinking and socialising boots on for yet another stint of Hebden madness!

Northernhoard, 4thwrite, sojourner, others?

Well seeing as Hebden is rapidly becoming my home from home it'd be rude not to Will have a few others in tow as well.

You are spending rather a lot of time here, I hope it won't affect the house prices

Ah just seen this thread title. Haven't been to Hebden Bridge in 10 years but used to go all the time when I was a student and living in Bradford / Leeds and really loved it. What a blast from the past. Can't make the drinks but would love to go back there. Had completely forgotten about the place.

I did - small - that would be a first then

That's a shame, I hope you can find some way to make it, even if just for a while ... part of Saturday or something ...

Where there's a will there's a pint ...

at idea of Tort 'blending in' with the lesbians ...

And for those of you around the weekend before, Axis Sound are doing another reggae session at Marshall's bar on Sat Nov 10th.

We'll have to see if we can nip over for some Fox & Goosing at some point for William's Weekender

The last reggae session was stonkingly good. I wish I could make this one but I'll be in Suffolk for the weekend.
Anyone who can make it should do, it's well worth any effort

[strange-fish]

Hey... make it 'I will' rather than a try ! would be great to see you again!

 

[Tort]

The frocks thing is so last summer! Next year I'm making do with body paint!

[Spion]

I'll be in HB this w/e, but I might get across on the 16th/17th too

 

[William of Walworth]

What's wrong with that?

Spion -- yes, come along man! I'll hold your hand too, if you like ...

for 3 seconds ...

 

[sojourner]

I'm afraid I won't be coming along to this...still recovering from last weekend, mad busy in work, and might be going to see Damo Suzuki on the 17th in St Helens

Have fun y'all. At least the Fox and Goose won't run out of Erdinger if I'm not there

 

[William of Walworth]

Sorry to miss you sojourner but I guess we'll still meet up at some other point ....

However, just noticed this, missed it before ...

We'll have to see if we can nip over for some Fox & Goosing at some point for William's Weekender

Do it man!!! Twill be good to see you

 

[moose]

So what are peeps doing? Beer or music with beer?

 

[MsShirlLaverne]

I thought it was beer on Saturday night in the Fox and Goose but I may be wrong, I often am

 

[moose]

William mentioned something at the Trades, just wondering if most people were going to that or t'pub

 

[William of Walworth]

Family troubles

Both we hope, well that was the plan I was thinking. Fox the main part of the evening, dancing down the road late. And the Trades does good beer too

BUT!!
Bad news just up from when my brother called early this morning.

Anxiously waiting for him to call back to make sure I can still make this

My elderly aunt in Denmark (my mum's sister -- we've not seen her for 20 or so years) died at the weekend, and it's so far uncertain whether my brother will be taking my mum from Stansted Thursday evening for the funeral in Odense on Friday. If so, I will have to look after my dad at home until late Friday afternoon at the earliest ... he's very frail and will need to be cooked for.

Still MIGHT make it for Saturday even if this does happen, and Deb is encouraging, but just now I'm

Chances 50/50 at the moment, will post an update later.

 

[William of Walworth]

Just had an inconclusive, but mildly encouraging, conversation with my brother, and the above could be a shortlived concern, Denmark trip now looking less likely for them. Confirmation later, I hope ..... there'll be more phone chats early this evening

<bites nails>

ETA, 4:45 : Eight and a half hour panic now officially over! Yay!!
Just spoken to my mum, who's been discussing stuff with my brother. Outcome : Hebden Bridge is still ON!!
They'll be heading for Denmark to see my cousins in December or January, now ... various logistical reasons why getting to the actual funeral on Friday in central Denmark!! was too difficult. My mum and my brother and my cousins are all fine with this ...

As you were, see you all on Friday and/or Sat ......

Oh yes!!

Dancing down the hill will be expected, as well as at the Trades!!!
