Re: Lancashire Meet??
id come but clit hero is a bit far for me.
I was thinking of the pub next to bolton wanderers football club as quite central and just off the motorways and the a666 from blackburn way.
What does everyone think to that?
i dont know the name of the pub there but there is one called scotts. its a bar n grill i think.
We could meet up there first and if its crap then they have a whole area there devoted to being out for a few hours.
Megabowl is a good idea except a distraction i think. sitting in a quiet pub with no bouncers and not on derby day is a start.
We could arrange it for a sunday or a saturday that bolton are away so itll be quietish.
Hows about April fools day the sunday the 1st April. Yes its a month off but they are playing on the saturday at home, so the sunday will be great, mid afternoon, say about 3pm or later on about 5ish so if you want to eat during/after you can go home or eat at the pub.
Well?

Directions: to Middlebrook
(Following lifted from website)

The development is adjacent to Junction 6 of the M61 Motorway which provides excellent connections to both the regional (M60, M62 and M65) and national (M6) motorway networks.

Re: Lancashire Meet??
We're going to Darwin (NT). Not sure if we will settle in Darwin as with my husbands job we could get moved around. Where you going? Will there be many kids there as I would like my 2 to meet other kids in the same boat. We haven't got are visa through yet as only posted it just over 2 weeks ago.
Hi Bushpig, my kids are 19, 12 and 10 and we are going to Wagga, rural NSW, I think we will probably take the kids as it's a daytime meet, not sure if the eldest will go? Hope to meet you there.
Lol xx
