the last meet is scheduled for Sat June 20th (see events page) It would be great to have a big turn out (possibly followed by a meal etc afterwards). I am considering asking Pippa if there is any availability on the Sunday to make a weekend of it. Any thoughts?
was waiting to hear how Pippa was getting on with a new place before deciding whether we would be saying goodbye to just Pollard St E or to Manchester.
Will certainly update as I hear anything
Will add info on the events page and also as a blog
I spoke with Pippa 2 weeks ago. Yes, its true. Land lord slamming up the rent and wont repair anything. She is looking for something else, but fears its probably going to be on a smaller scale than she currently has
That is a real shame – I've always looked forward to attending the meets there on my UK visits. Hopefully a few extra meets can be scheduled there before the closing?
She is looking for a new place and has told us not to panic.
I'm sure that she will look after us and hopefully it will be much better for us.
It's a case of watch this space at the moment.
Not totally unexpected but there's still hope 🙂
I am told that Pippas is closing in June. I can't say I am completely surprised because so much development is going on close to the building. But is this news or speculation? Does anyone know?

Maybe rebrand it on the events page? It's a big and rather sad day

It will be sad when it goes. So many good memories and have met so many great people there. Good times.
I shall miss the butterflies in my stomach as I rode the tram into Holt Town.
