Could we use this thread for voting for a venue please?
The choice is
a) Strada at Brondley Place
b) Museum/Gallery Edwardian Tearooms
c) House of Fraser restaurant
Single transferable vote, of course grin. Seriously, vote for 1 option and we will discard the bottom option after the first vote, if it is close and have a second vote between the top 2 options!
If you don't mind either way please say so.

Manchester or thereabouts will probably be the venue for the NW meet-up. So will keep you informed. crimson.

Bet the place has changed quite a bit since I was last there [early 70's!]. My ex studied at Salford Uni [in the old Brylcreem factory]. We lived at Eccles and then Worsley. Manchester has been blown up and rebuilt since then!

We lived in Heywood till coming over here in 1977, and even Heywood has changed quite a lot, and not really for the better.

number before I retired, I managed a bail hostel for women in Heywood. I agree, Heywood has deteriorated over the years. Some beautful countryside on the outskirts, but a deprived town with many problems and high crime rates.

Hubby`s family all still live there, but I don`t really enjoy going over there, and hubby hates leaving his car unattended.

He's probably right, unfortunately. Too many unemployed, bored teenagers with nothing to do hanging round on the streets and getting up to no good. Heywood has mobile CCTV so they can focus on street crime hotspots bcause of all the vehicle offences.
