BRUM MEET 2023 - URGENT!

[Suff]

Yeah I got that. Also some bus rides are longer and not all a straight hop.

Just thought I'd throw it out there.

[meriad]

I'd happily go by bus but I'd still have to get to London Victoria from where I am and as you say Suff, it just is so much longer. Which usually wouldn't be an issue, but as said - the overtime restrictions mean that trains won't run as late as usual (in the past I think my line had last train around 6 or 7pm). All rather annoying.

hey all, just checking if a decision was made re next week

[Kaz]

I know there is an overtime ban on between the end of July and the 5th of August, but how many cancellations that will mean is not clear. I'm happy to go along with what others think, as my ticket is insured.

[Workingman]

Ticket insured as well, but it doesn't really help.

Journey to Brum should be OK as it is at peak time. However, the journey back is outside peak meaning it might not run.... that might also apply to Kaz, Cruiser and Ria. That will probably not be notified till the day.

I am at a bit of a loss tbh. A night at the Prem or Briar Rose and return the next day?

I won't be able to stay over unfortunately Same as you Frank; I'm at a loss what to suggest / do

[Kaz]

Well, it seems we have two options:

1) We cross our fingers and hope for the best next Tuesday, or
2) We postpone until later in the year, perhaps November when Ally is back in the country and hopefully the industrial action is over.

sad to be saying this, but it'll have to be option 2 for me.... sorry

[Ally]

Sorry....been AWOL.

I'm inclined to go with option 2 too.

November is pk with me.

I have some dates booked. "1st November I am going to the dentist and grand-daughter is coming to see me between 23rd and 30th November 2023.

Let me know the dates and I will try and fit it in.
