Hi all!
Happy to meet up with you guys (and girls) any time.

Please confirm again nearer the time.

Cheers

Will do Amar.

hopefully the new Wrexham service won't suffer from technical problems:

Troubled rail firm Grand Central has been forced to cut the number of trains from the north-east of England to London because of technical problems.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7409823.stm
"We have been looking at the possibility of hiring-in, on a short term basis, other trains capable of the required top speed of 125mph, though that is not an easy task."

presume Hertz is out of the question .......

There has also been said to be a problem with an insufficient number of green lights.............

The afternoon Wrexham service was observed to be stationary in New Street last Saturday with the door open and the crew having a good old yak out on the platform. A farce! More punters on board this time, though.

What was the actual reason for the train being in New Street then? as I think you mentioned that this had happened before.

Some are routed that way. Also a lot of slack in the schedule. So much for the alleged congestion at New Streeet........

Back on the investment topic. SG Warrants would like your money.

23 June 08 - Birmingham
Time: 18:00 - 19:30
Location: Aston Business School Conference Centre, Aston Triangle, Birmingham B4 7ET

"Some are routed that way.", Wonder if Virgin know that? still they can't actually pick up so not taking customers away.

Certainly interested in that SG Seminar, only a 20 minute walk from New St.
"Location: Aston Business School Conference Centre, Aston Triangle, Birmingham B4 7ET"

Don't forget that's also the venue of the Birmingham Beer Festival in September. Can I suggest that we have September's meeting at the same time there. Details of the 3 day Festival are not yet available, I will post when they are.

this is last years .....looks interesting.....

90+ new beers and old favourites from all over UK, Trad cider and perry, Interesting selection of imported bottled beers, Festival Food, Live entertainment from 8pm Thu + Fri eves, Tombola and CAMRA products.

There was still enough beer left for the Saturday night visitors to enjoy a good session.

I couldn't go last year but did the year before (a lunch time session which was nice and quite), not a bad venue and with a good food choice as well (which can sometimes let a festival down).

"We have pumped in tens of thousands of pounds of our savings to get this brewery off the ground and we can't wait for drinkers to sample our ales.

..... Stan ..... you might be interested in this (which has some events on same day as you'll be here for the Queen's Arms)...

Any one having any thoughts on going to the SG thingymajig on 23rd June at Aston.....?

Yes I certainly am interested in your link Chris (I will have a look closer later), thanks.

At the moment I definitely am interested in that SG on 23rd June at Aston.

Also I may be able to sample some of the stuff from The Bewdley Brewery, as some of the "outlaws" are coming to stay with us later this week and a suggested day out is on the Severn Valley Railway (stopping at Bewdley of course)...once again thanks for the link -):

Probably be at the SG do, all else being, etc, etc. Will book nearer the time.

Any idea of any means of going long/short on British Bank Holiday weather?

I'll probably be going to the SG event as well ....

.... for the first time I saw a Wrexham & Shrops train this morning ...... t'was stationary at New Street first time I saw it ... then saw it go past Curzon Street at about 11.09 - so presume it was the 08.55 from Wrexham that's due in London at 13.15. There's a Chiltern Railways 11.12 departure from Snow Hill to Marylebone ..... presume the W&S would end up in front of that?

Just to remind everyone,

Thursday 5th June at 4pm. for our next meeting.

Address: The Queens Arms
150 Newhall Street,
Birmingham.

This is a new venue for us so any newcomers will have to just turn up and have a scout around for 3 or 4 blokes at a table.

Noted.

I assume tomorrow is still on....? I should be able to get to Queens sometime between 16.10 and 16.30....

I hope so. I don't intend dying for a least a month or two.

Have a good time.

Tempted to join you, but I think I would be divorced if I came out on my crutches.
