Heading home
Monday, June 23rd, 2008
It was the last day of SADY and as predicted the weather was improving, this at least allowed those of us who had not been blown away to take down our tents in dry conditions.
I decided to go home with Francis as he planned to go to Skipton to round off the weekend. I had been offered at lift by D.J. Gary who lives in Holmfirth.
When the car was packed up it looked like the luggage would fly out as soon as the doors were opened.
We arrived at Skipton at lunch time so went to Francis’ favorite vegetarian cafe where I had a delicious carrot and cashew nut bake and Francis had pear and rice.
The Sun Hotel, Shipley
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008
I Joined Bradford Plus in Shipley this evening to check out a possible new venue for the Group.
The train journey was better than expected, though I wasn’t first to arrive, that was Steve and Steve.
That’s Life
Saturday, June 14th, 2008
This evening Leeds Plus were joined in Guisley by Bradford Plus for their Pub of the Month.
The pub was the Cellar Five suggested by Peter, when we arrived we found it was the Cellar V; a sort of play on words, well that’s life!
We had a very tasty meal and then a pub crawl before going for our trains.
Sheffield Day Trip
Saturday, June 7th, 2008
I caught the train to Sheffield from Leeds, the idea was to arrive in Sheffield at about 3 o clock, grab a bite to eat and meet up with Leeds and Sheffield Plus at 2:30.
Unfortunately there was a delay just outside Leeds and the train arrived just in time for me to meet up at 3:30.
We all went on a short bus journey to the Weston Park Museum, a very large Victorian building with pillars where there was a special Space Age exhibit.
The museum was very child friendly, the exhibits were accessible and fun covering mainly history and natural history. The Space Age exhibition was full of nostalgic items from science fiction and fact.
We walked back into Sheffield city centre calling in a couple of pubs on the way and finishing with an evening meal at Jumbos. Afterwards we had a few more drinks and then caught the train home.

Richard made the new National Plus web-site live today - we’ve had a very positive response to it.
Hat & surgical stockings
Monday, March 10th, 2008
Today we went into Vienna on a shopping trip, me to buy a new hat and Cousin John to get some surgical stockings. We west on the Vienna Underground to Vienna’s main shopping street. It was a very long street.
I bought my new kangaroo skin hat from the Fleur De Lis hat and accessory shop and a little further down the road John bought his stockings.
Eventually we reached the end of the street and visited the Natural History museum where we took pictures of each other by the elephant.
Games Night
Saturday, November 24th, 2007
This evening I went to Rob & Alison’s place in Baildon for Bradford Plus Group’s Games Night.
As usual I arrived late, a game of Cluedo was in full swing, this game was won by Rob with a lucky guess.
I had arrived too late for the Wii Tennis, (lucky escape!).
It was nice to see Phil at a Northern event for a change, he said he’d also be attending the Area’s big Christmas Event.
After Cluedo everyone played a few games of Dilbert, Steve was Big Boss for most of the games, he is quite good at it. Alison said he should stand for National Chairman!
Everyone left at about half past midnight, I stopped over to go to York on Sunday for reconaisance for NEAT 2008.
Northern Plus web site
Saturday, September 29th, 2007
The first thing I did this morning was to check my e-mail - sadly it was all junk that had not been filtered out, this was a bit depressing so I switched over to Firefox to do a bit of web browsing.
Firefox was already on the Northern Area Plus web site and to my surprise it was displayed perfectly.
Recently the web site had been moved to a new server and there had been a few problems with the transfer, I rang Dave last night and he managed to transfr across the latest database but didn’t have time to do all the files - he must have done it first thing this morning - thanks Dave.
