Well after the success of the July BBQ time to plan the next one

Looking at Sunday 14th of September....

need location... some were we can get a place to ourselves again like at Formby.

Formby would be nice again but I'm aware that many of you guys traveled from Stoke and Yorkshire to be there, so wondering is there somewere more central to the North ??

Thinking Rochdale way ? or some were not to far the motorway network so its easy to get to.....

Or we could do Formby again... it was great, space, friendly rangers and safe for kids and pets to play....

ideas guys.... please

Hi Everyone

Great day we had today Smile

My suggestion is Hollingworth Lake Country Park in Rochdale

Ideal for adults and kids Smile

A couple of decent pubs Smile

Amusements Smile

Fish and chips Smile

5 mins off motorway Smile

A couple of gift shops Smile

Caravan and camping near bye Smile

I agree Tonka, my wife and little one are frequent visitors to Hollingworth Lake, it's a lovely location! We generally walk the 2 and a half mile round the lake.

Decent size car park too, plenty of room to fit a few Deli's :D

Sounds like a good idea to me Wink

Is it a big car park type place to park or.... will it be possible to park together and have BBQ / picnic in a group ?

I have never heard of so forgive the questions ....

I will try to make this if I can. Too early to say just yet.

I was born and brung up in Littleborough. I played around and on t'lake when it was just a reservoir. Razz

The most exciting thing in those days was to climb through Rakewood to watch the Irish navvies building the motorway. Razz

:D

I will try to make it too.
Remember building the motorway there,
Most exciting thing was being watched by the kids who had climbed up from the reservoir Laughing

If it's still the 14th September,
If it's still Hollingworth Lake,
If it's still Delicas,
If I can find clean undies.

Then I'll be there. 8-)

:D

We would be really interested in going to this but are a little apprehensive as it will be our first meet. Is it a day or a weekend meet? Do you bite???? lol. What do we need to bring? I know it sounds soft but I'm a bit nervous till I get to know people.
