[total-madness] GEORDIE MADMEET

[Lisa Barlow]

Hi Folks,   I'm back, I'm back, and boy is it a relief.   Please let me start by giving huge thanks to Mike Hearne for all his help with madmeet & stuff. We also had a fantastic night seeing Bad Manners in Darlington on 2nd December, it was unbelievable! Buster was about 4ft away from us as we were jumping up and down to an excellent set, and so intimate it was like a private party!!   Anyway back to Madness. Mike has given me a list of those who responded to his request on my behalf for people interested in going for a meal during the meet.  The main reason for me arranging this is because 20th December in Newcastle will be absolutely chocka with Christmas shoppers etc. making it impossible to even grab allegedly fast food, especially with there being such a large number of people, so a Chinese called Charlies near St James Park (for all you footy fans!) can accomodate us at around 4pm for eat as much as you like at �5.20 per head (over 40 dishes, so I'm sure there'll be something for everyone).   So far: Al Lisa & Mark Jenny & Sis Mike & Ian Peter Gardner & friend Bob Wardlaw & Colin Moyes Adele & Emma Mr G & 3 friends Wee Stoo Have confirmed for the meal.   On the web site there are a few extras listed that haven't yet confirmed: Simon Mulvaney Paul McIntosh If you and anyone else could mail me by Tuesday evening so I can book & pay deposit on Wednesday it would be a great help.   Thanks to Jenny for her post on the meeting times, just in case anyone missed, it's:   2pm            O'Neills Bar (Opposite Newcastle Central Station) 4pm            Chinese 5.30-6pm    Tut 'n' Shive pub DOWN TO THE ARENA After the gig onto a nightclub for those who are staying overnight, possibly Planet Earth which have '80's night on Monday, although I am checking out other possibilities.   If anyone can't make the meeting times because of transport, train delays etc. please mail me offlist & I'll give you my mobile number to ring me on the day.   Phew, I think that's it!!   CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ALL SOOON!!!   Lisa b
