Event NORTHERN POWERHOUSE II - Wed 21st August 7ish PM Littleborough OL15

[Dave_Q]

As mentioned on the thread for Northern Powerhouse Classic, I can't make it on Tuesdays anymore.

 

I'm sure the now longstanding tradition of eating a slab o'cow at Glossop spoons will continue regardless, but would anyone be up for a more Northerner version?

 

Proposal: 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of the month, so as not to clash with NP Classic.

 

Place: The White House Pub & Restaurant, Littleborough, OL15 0LG:

The White House stands like a land mark high on the Pennine hills, with panoramic views of the surrounding moors and Hollingworth Lake far below.

 

The old coaching house dates from 1671 and is situated 1,300 feet above sea level. The Coach and Horses (the original name) is where “the young bloods of Littleborough having guarded the mail coach from highway men would seek recompense for their labours with vigorous applications to strong liquors”

Motorway access isn't great but who wants to drive on motorways? Has big car park and beer and food.

 

First meeting on Wednesday 13th Feb? 7ish PM?

 

Any takers?

[hairnet]

id if weekend derbys and this during week is a no sadly

[The Moog]

Yes please! I can't do Tuesdays due to working till 9 pm so alternative would be good.

[Junkman]

Yes.

[Ghosty]

Also yes.

[Guest Hooli]

Aye.

 

I've just checked & they've got Bambi on the menu so double aye!

[Dave_Q]

Nice one all.

 

Just a note to anyone who isn't sure: guarding the mail coach from highway men then seeking recompense with vigorous applications to strong liquors is not compulsory, although it is encouraged.

[Dave_Q]

Bump,this will be a week today. 

 

Hopefully we will get slightly less police attention than NP Classic did last night.

[Mally]

Only just seen this.

Not much of a drive for me, 5 mins uphill, 3 mins going back home.

I'll try my best.

[bub2006]

90 mile each way for me. Twice as long as Glossop but takes same amount of time approximately. I'd be tempted to give it a shit but not this month

[Guest Hooli]

Can the OP be tagged as an Event so this is easier to find please.

[Dave_Q]

Can the OP be tagged as an Event so this is easier to find please.

Done.

[Dave_Q]

Bump for tomorrow, as is traditional I will probably be a bit late, maybe 8ish.

[The Moog]

Had planned on coming but missus Moog has put her foot down. I am off on mega mission on Sunday and apparently I can't just play cars all week.

 

Definitely be at the next one - will pencil it in already. Mx5 time next time.

[Guest Hooli]

I'm currently a maybe, I need to think about a decent night's sleep for the interview the next day. To say nothing of the garage bill due this month.

[Ghosty]

I'm also a maybe.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Is this going to end up just being me on my own in a restaurant 35 miles from my house?

[Ghosty]

Look what happened at the last not-Glossop, tbf.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

true 

 

Worse still I have lost the money I was going to spend here. The old school physical loss of cash way, rather than my crypto stocks taking a dive.

[Dave_Q]

If nobody is going to come maybe we can do next week?

 

But I think we will have me, Conrad, Mally?

 

Squire lives nearish I think, anyone know if he's about?

 

The Junkman?

[LabRat]

I can do next week, this week is a bit of a pain as it's the week before half term and I'm stuck covering parents evenings all week.

[Junkman]

If nobody is going to come maybe we can do next week?

 

But I think we will have me, Conrad, Mally?

 

Squire lives nearish I think, anyone know if he's about?

 

The Junkman?

 

If you guys go, I'll be there.

Lift givage and dosh standage for Conrad within the realms of possibility, too.

 

I bet Ghosty will show up, too, if it comes together.

[Dave_Q]

On second thought I can't do next week as its my daughters birthday.

 

I will be there tonight regardless, JM and Conrad plus whoever else I will see you there.

[Guest Hooli]

I'd like to do this, but it's just a bad week for me.

 

Have fun all.

[Junkman]

Dislike.

[Mally]

Have spent all morning, and will be most of the afternoon welding the Minor, in preparation  for my epic 5 minute journey.

Expect me around 7-30. 

[Squire_Dawson]

I'll be there.

[chodweaver]

For future dates, it's a Yes from me, but not tonight as I'm still on me hols in a country with a reputation for being shut.

 

 

 

 

 

(And its reputation stands)

[Ghosty]

Good luck parking folks behind me.

[Matty]

Is little borough a regular one? On my own with the kids tonight but would love to come in future
