Excellent - looks like there will be a good bunch of us out then on the Saturday night
Re: Friday night, I am likely to be up to my armpits in unburnt WB cds so am unlikely to be free for drinks. However, for the other Friday people is it best to advise the bar at The Davenport Hotel (just down the road from the venue) as a meet up for Stockport based coaches? Or maybe the Bamford Arms right across from Hallam St.
For those staying in Manchester (if there are any?) then there's a few good places to meet but Kro Piccadilly is probably the most central & easiest to find.
