Hi Helen,
We usually just meet up have a few drinks, maybe something to eat and have a chat, as Mandy said. Some of us bring kids along, though not all. I dont know whether mine will come this time, though they usually do.
I've missed a couple as I've been working when they were on but I try to get along to them. Its nice to put a face to a name.
Hope to see you there![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

pmsl, yu-gi-oh, same sort of Japanese rubbish
![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Josh loves football , golf and swimming, when hes not on his Xbox
![Roll Eyes](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Used to be into yu-gi-oh but thankfully not any more well not so that he wants to buy the cards (I've spent more than enough money on them!!!), but he still likes them.
It should be a canny afternoon. I hope a few turn up, there wasnt many of us at the last one.
I'm seriously considering organising a night one where we can go for a meal and drinks without the kids. We can have a chat about that next week to see what people think.

for those wanting to plan your journey to the meet as i dont know where every one is coming from may i suggest this website for a route planner.
www.rac.co.uk and go on to travel services then onto route planner.
put in either the postcode for your starting point and then put in this postcode which is for brewsters/brewersfayre
DH15GB it will give you a detailed route to take.
I have just checked the map in my car and it doesn't have a great deal of detail for Durham it self My hubby must have the detailed map and at the moment can not contact him.
Mandy
Just checked the link and it does work
See you there
