I think its now time to take the bull by the horns. No less than :- Phil P ,Neil R ,Pete A (+2 others) are gonna be battling on either August 7-8th or August 14-15th . it will probably be around Manchester / South Cheshire way. The next attendee to confirm will set the particular weekend as the rest of us can currently do either weekend. Accommodation is offered for the Saturday night at The Funky Towers ,Stockport ,Manchester.
