Well we can put is back a month, to March. The very first and original meet was in March. If that's preferable for you DR and still ok for everyone else. Plus it's one less excuse for you Norbe.
You might find some better deals then Jim too as it'l be closer to easter.

Edit - I just checked, for a return to Manchester on the preposed dates it would cost me £70. That's with the early booking discount.
£70 + money for food, booze and accomadation, too rich for me unfortunately.
You are teh rubbish!

Brilliant!
Alright. Now there are many nice bars/pubs near the manchester train stations.. however I feel it probably better if we meet at one of the train stations opposed to anything else and we can move from there. Manchester Piccadilly is the bigger station of the two/three if I remember and it's central, with connections from the airport and will be easier to find than a pub or bar.
I've asked Wolf359, but no response from him yet.
Now. As for date. We don't want it too late, so either Saturday 3rd or Saturday 10th March 2012.
I'm leaning towards the 3rd of March. Anyone else got anything to add to that? I'll give you until Tuesday to raise any objections and then we'll set the date!

Diamond Dust (General Riviera)

Maybe:

Replimagni
Norbe
Wolf359
Juliette
Hope
Drahazar (+ more FS members)
Heaven Seeker (I'll need to mention it his way)
Ghosty GoO (very unlikely, but it'l be mentioned)

March 3 and 10 both work for me at the moment.
I do reserve the notion that work 'emergencies' go before pleasure, though.. but it should be fine.

Update then. 3rd March is favourable. Would anyone object to the 2nd then? At least we've got a week to go for now. It's just a toss up between two days. Flights and Hotels will probably be cheaper on Fridays, I think.
