Would have loved to try come down for this meet but unfortunately swamped with uni at the moment. I was thinking of trying to organise something in Scotland though over the summer, seeing as we seem to be growing in numbers! :)
 
Edinburgh is usually doable for me :) can travel there and back my train in about 2 hours each way and for a less than £30 with my disabled railcard .... might not be ideal for you scots as a meet up place though but if it is then I can be there <3 Glasgow can be done but is closer to 4 hours each way and double the travel cost ... not tried for best prices yet mind.
i hear you on the uni I'm in my final year :)

I guess it depends on where people are located. I know a few are over in the east anyway, and those in Glasgow should be able to get to Edinburgh easily on the train - tho I think it's about £15-£20 return these days (I could be completely wrong though, I don't tend to go all that often - especially when I didn't have my railcard) Also, if need be I could drive a few people through or at least get them to the train in Glasgow :)

As soon as the uni stress is over I'll create a thread to sound things out :)
 
For some reason my phone didn't show me your final comment there! I'm only in 3rd year and already stressed, worried about how bad 4th year is going to be - dissertations look difficult!
 
Can anyone who is coming please confirm? be handy to book a table me thinks :-)
 
They don't actually, unless in some dish that isnt vegan, their menu is quite limited for me but vegetable dumplings work for me with some edamame though :D
 
I will be there. Just need to book train tickets. Also need to work out where the place is terrible at directions may need to use my sat nav to walk lol
 
Am so jealous of this meet! Hope you all have a fantastic time, I will be thinking of you while I am slaving away at an Open Day at work....
 
@Briony_Y ill be in the trainstation around 12 if that works for you, think Abi is getting there at 12:30 so we can all walk up together ... if you're driving sure we can still meet you somewhere :D
 
Fantastic thanks. I've just been looking at menu think May need to decide in advance lol as I do not know what anything is. Think I msy get googling tomorrow lol.
 
Sue & I definitely coming. We've checked the menu & there's lots on their that I could go for except the sweet stuff & Sue has found a couple of choices that will be OK for her. I know that some members who are coming by train won't get into York till after 12 noon so what about 1pm for booking table or tables. There could be about a dozen going so best if everyone who is coming to confirm on here in next 24 hours if possible.
 
I have looked at tickets it is cheaper to get off peak return so not tied into one train I can arrive at 11.35 or 12.22 @Bekki which woild be best?
 
I can get there anytime too as I'm just getting a day ticket with a railcard I think abi is getting there at half 12 so either would be fine I guess :-)

Mine gets in at 12.21 so why don't you aim for the 12.22, the three of us can meet up at the station and walk up together - if we can find each other in the station that is!
 
Hiya, we were hoping to come along to the get together on Saturday. We looked at train tickets a while back and it came out at about £200 to travel down and back on the same day. We have been checking tickets on and off since then in the hope that there would be a deal of some kind but unfortunately it's still coming out at £150 for the two of us. Hopefully we'll get along to one of these meets one day :D

Although we won't physically be there we will be virtually and if anybody wishes to skype maybe we'll join in even if we've got to open a bottle here - no seriously hope everyone has a ball and please loads of piccys posted on the forum afterwards.

Lisa & Ali....x
 
Why are trains so expensive?

Lol - can just imagine the looks you will get. I have only been to York once and I just followed my mum there and we were a little drunk on the way back so not entirely sure of the landmarks. Wonder if @Bekki can suggest somewhere
 
theres a coffee shop in there :-) or a pub just out the front ... the pub might be a better idea because the station is quite big with no distinctive features really
 
I'm coming! And so is piggyme234 (Rachel) as far as I know because she is giving me a lift. And so is Amberdrew as she is coming with us. As far as I know. Time to send a few private messages I think!

See you all on Saturday.

Sarah
