Who's going to Whitby for New Year, what's happening where and when. I presume the Tap & Spile will have something on under the good auspices of Jude.

YYes, the usual stuff happening. Treasure Hunt (assuming Jim & Ken get it sorted). A choice of fancy dress for new year's eve - Goths or Gardeners - & the usual singing going off other afternoons/evenings.
I'm hoping to be back in the hearing world by then. I've just had a mastoidectomy on the ear that I used to be able to hear in! The packing comes out on 22 December so I've got fingers & toes crossed that all will be back to normal! Well - as normal as they can be anyway!
See you all soon

Hello All
Hearing's gettng a bit better but not brilliant yet so am only communicating via email & text messages.
Right then - treasure hunt on Thursday about 1pm in the Tap - unless Jim says otherwise!
Old Timer - Wendy's been brill, as have all me other mates up here - really don't know what I would have done without them. Yes, I expect there will be other sessions kicking off - definitely in The Endeavour but not sure when yet - you're expecting me to be very organised aren't you - and me not having been well!
Cheers

Hiya Nick & all
Well, given that I still haven't heard from Jim (!) I've still only guessing that the treasure hunt will be Thursday. There'll also be a music quiz on Friday afternoon & lots of singing the rest of the time!
Lugs are still on strike but I get the packing out tomorrow so fingers crossed!
So pleased that Lynne & Pat are coming up - should be a good do I think!
See you all soon

Jude trying to sort out a lift Thursday is ok for Treasure Hunt. May need to do a little recky.The Treasure Hunt will by bnature be slightly different this year but fun. Doesn't look like Ken can get up there for New Year cos of work shit but things is in hand. E-mail me Jude I've lost yours. Best of luck with t'ears although think of the down side it means you'll be able to hear George Clarke again !!!

Expect I will see you (and many others) shortly.

Be warned - it's the ICE that's the problem around here rather than snow. We are near Junctions 30 and 31 of the M1, if that helps anyone heading up from the bleak South.

Just heard on the news that the A169 Pickering to Whitby road is only passable if you have a 4 x 4, any local information from Whitby, I know that the Police try to prevent sightseer's by sending out such messages and that the road may well be passable if you have any nous

It said on the local news that the Whitby/Pickering A167 was closed earlier today but haven't any up to date news, but it is still snowing here (Redcar) and likely to continue for the rest of the day.

Here's the update as at 11,20am - As Nick says Blue Bank (Sleights) is closed unless you've got a 4 x 4. Nothing about the 171 Scarborough Whitby road closed though so that might be an option.
Forecast is for more snow showers tomorrow but then improving by the weekend
