eternal Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Following our earlier post (which we have deleted) we can confirm the details for the meet-up as follows. With Gareth performing in Footloose, in his home town of Bradford, we thought it a fine opportunity for a meet-up of the fans. (Long-standing fans may remember Shipley and the turning-on of the Bradford Lights, so it's been a while!) The date is Wednesday 29/6/16. Time is 4.00pm (or whenever you can get there). Place Wetherspoons The Sir Titus Salt (close to Alhambra Theatre). It will give us all an opportunity to put faces to those names we have 'talked' to, tweeted, pm'd, facebooked or just viewed posts from over the last few years, a chance for a chat, a bite to eat (optional) at approx 6.00pm before making our way to the Alhambra Theatre for 7.30pm to watch Gareth in Footloose (once again optional). For anyone wanting to attend Footloose, we are booked in Row D 17,18 & 19 and Row E 18,19 & 20, which are in the centre of the rows (Rows A and B are not being used). If anyone else is planning to book, you'll know where we are to join us (or avoid us, if you'd rather!). Following the show, we will return to Wetherspoons for a nightcap, eg. Prosecco, G & T or just a coffee, giving us a further opportunity to talk about Gareth in Footloose (and possibly those gold shorts). For anyone travelling and wishing to stay in a hotel we have arranged a deal with The Midland Hotel (see Chat for details). If you want to know any further details please don't hesitate to contact (by pm) dorral, eternal, *gareths melody*, lindajan, Val or ValR, facebook Val Cooper or tweet @GPG, @valjcooper or @LindaMag. Looking forward to seeing anyone who can get to this show and/or the meet-up. (edits to say everyone would be responsible for booking their own theatre tickets (if they are interested in going to Footloose) and their own hotel booking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 We know this is posted in the wrong forum at the moment but wanted as many to see it as possible. We will eventually move it to Chat once arrangements are underway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirsty Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 It's a great idea not sure I could make it before even tho it's my day off I would need to sort childcare as the show isn't really suitable for a 3year old but can see what I can do x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Kirsty you are most welcome to pop along and say hi, even if you cannot make the show. It would also be ok to bring along a 3 year old. However I know with toddlers there is no chance to talk (but fruit, books,play-doh, toys and if those run out- sweets all acceptable) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily xx Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Would love to but think Bradford is far from me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 That's great Katie and June. Emily there are others coming from a long way away but if you are travelling alone it can be more daunting. Just give it some thought. Maria can I ask where you meaning to come or were you just saying it was a lovely idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NicolaJayne Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I would love to come, got great memories of my last meet up at the Ibis in Shipley but too far for me and especially as it's mid week, makes it more impossible. It's a lovely idea though and wish you all a lovely meet up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria_1981 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm not sure yet Chris, depends on if I can get the time off work for one as it's the following week I see it in Birmingham with Sarahjane, her mom, Hayley and her mum and i'd booked for Manchester with Sarahjane, she is unable to stay away from home in a hotel bless her, we could of seen the matinee then met up with you all after then came home when you're going in to see the show in the evening but it's a lot of travelling on the way back changing coaches, which is to much for her, its 4 hours 10 mins by coach with no changes to get a mid morning coach which we would need. I could come on my own as it's a lot closer to get to from Manchester if I can get the time off work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Oh that's ok Maria just wasn't sure what you meant in your reply. I realise it's difficult being mid-week but then again it's sometimes difficult being the weekend, when it's family time. Don't put any pressure on yourself. Do what you feel happiest with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
