When taking on the job as NW rep I felt that another venue closer to Manchester would compliment (not to replace) the existing one at the Hollow Tree. I've managed to find a second pub venue in the South Manchester area - Cheshire Line Tavern, which is 2 minutes from Parrs Wood, Didsbury. It's also only 5 minutes from Junction 3 on the M60. The landlady is very keen on the idea and has also very kindly promised various offers of support to help us. www.cheshireline.co.uk/It's location is around 20 miles East of the HT, with the intention of holding a meet on the 1st or 2nd Thurs of the month to avoid a clash with the HT (also gives me the chance to get out twice a month that way ;D ). I am hoping to have an inaugural meet there in December and will naturally post the details when things are finalised. I'm working on flyer's to cover both meets and will embark on an advertising/promotion campaign in the next week or two in an attempt to try and attract more members for the HT and to get the CLT venue off the ground, so any offers of help/support would be greatly appreciated

Looks like it's now going to be early January for the 1st meet here.
I'm aiming for the 1st Monday of the month (excluding Bank hols, it will then be held on the following Monday). Hopefully by having it on a different day it will give people a chance of attending at least one meet a month either here or at the Hollow Tree.

Probably not the best time of the year to launch a new venue for a regular pub meet, but hey it's gotta start some time I guess. So the very first regular meet in the Manchester area for the MGF Register (unless you know different) will be on Monday 8th January at around 8pm at the Cheshire Line Tavern. For more details about the pub see the above link (or PM / e mail me). Once the festivities are out of the way the regular meet here will be on the 1st Monday of the month. (In the case of Bank Hols it will be on the following Monday).
With 2 locations in our region on different days were hoping to make life easier for anyone in the NW to get to a meet and get a bit more involved. Apart from anything else I'll feel a right pratt sat there on my own ;D

Just to confirm the inaugural meet will take place at the Cheshire Line Tavern on Monday the 8th of January - around 8pm.
For anyone wanting directions there is a map on the CLT website (link at the top of the thread) or contact me. It would be great if any of our regulars as well as any newbies could make it.

Thanks for letting me know Gareth, will see you at the HT on the 18th. I've had a couple of people say they will join me so I'm hopefully not going to be sat there on my own

Hi Steve
New to the siteand the forum.
Is the Hallow Tree pub that you refer to, at Stretton?
May pay a visit on the 18th but do not want to be sat in the wrong pub!
Cheers

Hi Steve
Hi Steve
Thanks, that's the web site I used to locate the pub, I know the road ish (trips to Winsford and Oulton Park) so I think I do know the HT, will try and make the effort to visit on the 18th.
Again thanks for the confirmation.
Geoff
