When and I have put our heads together (metaphorically) and come up with the second week in November at the Coach House at the Trafford Centre which has suited us well in the past. Could you let us know if you're able to come and which day(s) would suit you best. As far as I know, I'm flexible.

That's a shame When. hope your son is ok. Biker it would be great to see you if you can come. I know you have mentioned you have visited Lytham before. I think Nellie is coming by train too. The venue is Whispers cafe/bistro which is on Clifton St (the main street) Lytham opposite Bodycare. If coming from the station take the path from the exit and walk down Park rd to the junction.Stringers department store is on your right. Turn left and walk a little way down Clifton St and Whispers is on the left. We have a table booked upstairs for about 12.30pm.

If driving there is some unrestricted parking on Lytham prom. Otherwise when you drive into Lytham from the direction of the M55 there is a pub called The Ship and Royal on the left. If you turn immediate left there is a car park which is £3.60 for up to three hours.

The menu is very varied with OAP specials! Looking forward to seeing you all

seasider I have printed off the directions you gave and some maps for the town and restaurant details. I am fully intending to come. My train should get in at about 11:58hrs. (to be precise.) wink
Look forward to seeing you all. I think we met once a couple of years ago at a ? Chef and Brewer in the near the Trafford centre.
