There is going to be a grand festival of Catalan and British Giants in Manchester next weekend, as part of the Manchester Arts Festival. The parade starts from Albert Square at 1.00pm.

Because of this, there will be several Mudcatters travelling 'oop t'Eh won' to be there.

The programmed festivities for Friday night are from 6-8 but we were wondering if there was anything else in the region of Lower Chatham St/Oxford Road that would interest some Southrons and assorted exiles, all of a similar mindset (beer and songs) and in need of a neutral location for divers discussions.

Or just anywhere where the beer isn't warm and fizzy will do?

Similarly, if there is a Manchester Catter who can put up 2 single female Catters and a Bratling for Saturday night, it would improve our lot no end please!

Thanks
