I've voted. It looks like eating and drinking are involved! I'm looking forward to seeing familiar faces, and meeting some new friends. :D

My sister and I have been planning a trip to Manchester for so long that we're finally getting round to it... but a bit sooner than spring 2014!

Ok, booked a couple of nights in travelodge sportscity, that was the cheapest I found at £23 a night. I know its a tad early but I like looking forward to things. :D

Excellent a woman after my own heart. In case you didn't know I love organising things and planning ahead, you get the best deals and once its booked you know that it will happen! o/

I know that you enjoy a cake and I have just been told about this place which is expensive but apparently do a lovely afternoon tea in quirky surroundings https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j ... 7100,d.d2k or from personal experience https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j ... 7100,d.d2k which is just beautiful inside and the food is divine (fantastic value at £11 for afternoon tea). Even a few of us FMUKers who do like our food struggled to eat everything but we managed. ;) If I had my way that is where I would be taking everyone for the meet up but I do understand that it wouldn't be everybody's thing.

Thank you for the tip, Diane65 - this definitely requires further investigation! I have to be careful, when others are involved, not to organise too much for them, and as it is I bagged the last 2 theatre tix for one night of our stay before I even booked the hotel and travel, but where cake is concerned, my sister will probably forgive me.

I am sorry but we probably won't make it. It's a week after Alzheimer's Week at one of the centres and a day after OH's birthday. If we'd been in the vicinity that weekend we could have combined it but we'll probably celebrate his birthday instead.
