Summertime fun, possible picnic and Northern drinks meet-up

[Glitter]

I'm not sure if we are going to make this - according to booking.com its cheaper to stay in a hotel Rome than a room in Hebden Bridge, and a train return ticket from London will be £111.80 each. Yikes.

We'd like to come if we can afford it.

Can you get to Leeds or Manchester on a cheapy deal?

 

[Glitter]

I will come to this if my shifts allow. Won't know until closer to the summer though, so I won't vote just cross my fingers

If dates work for me there’s a bed for you here.

 

[BoatieBird]

I'm going to keep an eye on the date for this.
It might be possible if I can find somewhere to stay overnight

 

[friendofdorothy]

According to trainline its the same to leeds - and £86.90 each to manchester +£13.50 to HB. Will look for better deals when you all decide on the date.

There's a cheap train runs daily between London and Halifax, not sure where to find it but I don't think it comes up on trainline.

You might get some decent advanced deals. I hope so. *crosses fingers*

This. The advance deals are only available about 3 months before the date, so probably aren’t out yet.

Is someone going to pick a date btw?

That's Shirl's job. Go on Shirl, be decisive.

its not yet the end of jan, so you take your time Shirl (but if you could decide in time for those planning rail travel that would be handy.)

Virgin often do deals of £20 each way Euston to Leeds. Can be as little as £30-ish in advance too.

When I get around to it I will write the dates on a piece of paper and then list who can make each date. At least then we can narrow down the choice. I'll try to do it this weekend unless you Barleybabes want to do it as you are very good at that sort of thing and I may make mistakes

I suppose the deadline would be the date when the cheap advance tickets are released, so three months before the first possible date. So she has one month from today.

No.

 

[Shirl]

No.

This is what you get looking into June trains

 

[Shirl]

So far as I can see these are the only definite dates people have given. We can't go off the poll as I've no idea who voted for what and some people will have voted for a few.
I suggest people quote this post and add their preferred dates in. Once people add dates use the latest version to quote. If that doesn't make sense then I have no other ideas so ask Barleybabes
I've put my favoured dates in but and completely flexible atm.

27 th is great..... But I can do any date but have to request not to work and do that 8 weeks in advance. So whatever date is decided is fine.

When is the cut off for deciding the date?
