My mothers family are from wallsend and I spent many a happy hour in spanish city, is that in tynemouth / witley bay?? ( i was very young then!! ) I live in an old peoples home in Wylam in 1983 and travelled into Newcastle on the train every day to get to the dental school! seems a lifetime ago now!!
i was born in whitley bay and hung out at spanish city when a teenager.we used to play the juke box and do out courting in the amusements. tynemouth is still as it was but whitleys a mess now,theres nowt left,its all knocked down. it was great in the 70s
Crikey somebody actually knows where I come from , you'll probably have called in at
The Monadhliath Hotel TeeCee , if you have you'll probably have met my father Dave Clark he's almost part of the fixtures n fittings .
Buzzards MCC's Over The Hill Rally at Dornach , is usually a pretty good do , Maday weekend , havn't been for about 3 years
Right, a desperate attempt to bring this post back on track
No details about the festival at Applecross on t'interweb so far, but early days yet I guess. If you hear anything, TC, then share it with us.
I still think that a meet in the Borders/Edinburgh area would be cool though. The Edinburgh MAG rally is an excellent wee rally as well and would be a good place to meet, but something sooner would be ideal.
If you are looking to meet up real soon, I still reckon the Bike Show at Edinburgh on March 14th & 15th could be a possibility. For those who don't want to ride or don't trust the weather, it is right next to Edinburgh Airport or if you catch a train to Edinburgh Waverley there is a regular bus service from right outside the train station that will take you to the Showground. Fares can be pretty cheap if booked in advance.
This could always be a possibility AS WELL as a meet a little later in the year around Edinburgh...
Is this just a drink and chat type meet? Bit like what we did at the Angler Inn? And no ghost its not warmer its bloody freezing actually everything is white yet again lol
well im up for it if im off..and depends what u all want..you could always head to Bthgate and go to the DREADNOUGHT rock music not live tho but a good nite out if u fancy a wee head bang lol and theres a travel lodge just along the road with a tobys so could all meet up for cavery meal first....but edinburgh has some good venues too ....
