Well there seemed to be quite a lot of interest in this weekend on my last thread so I've made the executive decision that we'll meet on Easter Weekend in Manchester.

Exact details to be confirmed nearer the time but suggest we meet at around 5pm in a bar in the city centre, as usual. Watch this space - I'll speak to the local Mancunian orgers to decide a suitable bar.

I'm suggesting we make a night of it on the Saturday, but for those who are up for a big one and can make it, you may want to party on the Sunday too. I'll leave it to you to decide that...you might want to discuss it here?

As for any newbies - come along! We're mostly normal folk, just with a bit of a Princey fetish!

If anyone is looking for accommodation, there are a number of Premierlodges (www.premierlodge.co.uk) within walking or 5 minute taxi distance. I've also stayed at the Britannia Hotel and Arboretum apartments which are pretty central, and I know others who have travelled in the past can probably recommend other places too that are reasonably priced. Lastminute.com and various other websites can also have some pretty good deals, although, as Savage has mentioned, as it's Easter weekend, probably need to book something sooner rather than later.

Please confirm if you're coming and bring along any friends - the more the merrier!!!

I'm definitely going to be there, and I'm not going to be drinking champagne with a straw again Cammille...it's bad for my head!

i'll be there with caroline we'll be staying at the place hotel appartments they are very nice and reasonably priced.

Yep..if i can get some overtime done i`ll be there....

GOOD STUFF !!!!

No u know what ..i will be there..i`ll spank my visa!!
COUNT ME IN.....

wwwtheplacehotel.com excellent apartments in the city centre next door to the station,i'm thinking if everyone needing a place to stay books here we could get a group discount and there would be somewhere for us all to end the niht together,they have dvd players and cd players too so we could have a loiitle party afterwards there's a max of 4 people per apartment.anyway any one interested in doing this let me know by the 10th march and i'll be prepared to book it,so only do it if you're definately going because i won't be messed about!remember deadline 10th march!if no one is interested,fair enough.

My Easter Plans have just gone tits up, so count me in.

I should be there as well. I'll have done my run by then! I'll need a good drink!

I always need a drink

cammille said:

Didn't You and Mellow say you'd take care of this? I'll suggest a place to meet if you want. We could eat there as well.

What about the Printworks? Tiger, Tiger? We could make a day of it in there.

Alright folks, chill out!!! I've been watching to see who's posting and there's not a great deal of interest being shown.

Predominant, YES, this is defnitely still happening (although it could be me, you and Cammille at this rate).

Suggest we meet at Printworks and we'll be there from 4pm to 5pm (Savage can explain directions). Anyone who's going to be later than that, just let us know please so we don't move on to the next place without you.

Cammille, any other suggestions?

There, my finger is well and truly out of my ass and I am showing enthusiasm!!! Now who's next to say they're in for this?

There are plenty of places in the Printworks to eat. Just depends on what you want.

We could go to Tiger,Tiger as well

JD. You'll be there! Won't you?

cammille said:

Savage said:

I should think so.

i have never been to manchester so i will leave all the details to you guys...just as long as the place we go to has topless waitresses, i will be happy.

Nemo said:

hey i'm in if you want someone to go with

lisap said:

CHECK ORG NOTES....!!!

cammille said:

Nemo and Lisap bout 65% so far ..we talking now..
Whats the hotel arrangements..Where...Are we all in same room...meant hotel..

Let me know thanx..what time meet etc..???

blackboab said:

hear hear!!

anyway....as mariah would so eloquently sing....i'll be there!

I'll be there.

I think some people are just watching and waiting to see if and when it becomes definite. Plus, who checks the the Fan Gatherings forum that often?

Also, perhaps someone should post a note on NPGUK? Not everybody on there is on here.

I don't think I'll require a room though - I can train it back over to Dewsbury, though it might have to be in the early hours of the morning if I go out clubbing with you guys - depends on how expensive the hotel rooms are...
