North Yorkshire - Meet-ups

I've only lived in the NE for thirty years and have never got round to visiting Northallerton. I've always wanted to so I will try but will have just come back from hols and usually need a serious rest.

YaYa I have posted on the local, I am in Newcastle, but would like to join if I can fit in around school pick ups.

Hi Stansgran,

I have grown quite fond of the old town, lots of people visit for the market and Betty's Teasrooms. Would be great to see you if you are rested enough, I have fibro and M.E. so will also be resting plenty before the event.
Please could you pop over to the local forum to make it a bit easier to keep up with thanks
