Manchester and Chester March 25th to 27th 2011 The meeting up of new and old friends on the Friday and Saturday evenings.

We all met on the Friday, chatted and became more settled with our new found friends, Marie, Tina and Colin travelled by train from Manchester, Surrey and Scotland, Brenda flew down from Northern Scotland, and the remainder arrived by road. The Friday and Saturday evenings meals were enjoyed in the restaurant attached to the hotel close to Manchester Airport with the train station just 100 yards away...  The Budweiser is Marie's and the Coke mine, sorry to say I am not in any photos but not by choice.
