A meeting of minds

[plodding bear]

...oh, I forgot to mention it's right bang on the Settle - Carlisle line, so easy access to loads of different running areas...

I've been thinking recently about how many of us have never met each other, and for those of us that don't race will be unlikely to meet unless we do something about it. Now I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to sort some get together in a pub or something. Is this something that would interest folks or is it just me being a bit weird?

We could all arrange a piss up in Manchester after the derby - what could go wrong?

I'm sure you and Danbert could have a pint and discuss the outcome of the game amicably enough together

SS was long ago going to organise a Summer on the fells (SOTF) but I don't think he ever got past the planning stage...

Oh yeah. Such a good idea, but kept forgetting to do anything about it. Doubt this is the year either, I'm far too busy: long working hours, studying for professional qualification with the job, just started my PT training (cos insurance stinks and I want out!), as well as training for a 100miler this summer. Not a lot of free time. *violins*

However, all agreed this seems a good idea: social trot followed by drinks. Few suggestions but no firm deciision on locale/routes etc. I'll step up and agree to organise something of the sort over Pendle: one date, choice of couple of routes to cater for all, few pints in The Pendle Inn.

Don't like this? Over to you...!

I'll go for that.

How about though £15 fee, free T shirt with your forumite name on, whether you race or not. All surplus goes to Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue.

Sounds good to me :thumbup:

Assuming Pendle it is, I'll set out a few dates and see who can make it. If t-shirts are wanted, I'll have to delegate that. WP?

[Witton Park]

Yes I can sort that
