GRCade Technically-Greater-Manchester Meet Up: 10th September!

One week to go!!

As has been pointed out, Arcade Club is a fair tram ride from the city centre, and a bit of a walk besides.

Given that most will be coming in by train or coach, most likely to Piccadilly or Chorlton St. bus depot, it would be prudent to meet up beforehand and make our way out together. Thus, I propose the following:

-12PM we meet at The Piccadilly Tavern, 71-75 London Road, M1 2BS. The halfway point between train and coach station, just off Piccadilly Gardens.

-1PM, assuming all are present, we set off for Bury.

-2PMish, we arrive at Arcade Club, rendezvous with anyone who made their own way, and a good time is had by all.

Y/N?

Is this the final plan then? Can't wait for next weekend now!

Yep! I'll be sure to get to the pub in plenty of time and wait for folks there.

Train booked! I'm all set!

I'm out unfortunately, as a family we need a nice quiet weekend where nothing too unusual is going on. It does sound like a brilliant afternoon you've got planned and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Oh it's the 10th now? :eyes:

Honest answer is I'm not sure yet - was playing with driving down but I'm meeting two of my friends for drinks tonight and I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that or not.

I've got my cross stitches in my bag for Choccy, Cora and Denny

I'm 40 minutes away now on the train, getting a bit excited now!

Have a great day everyone

Have a top time all!

We're currently sat in the window of the Piccadilly Tavern if anyone else is joining us! Should be here till around till about 1

Apologies, there’s no way I could’ve legally operated my car today. Went out saying I’d just have a single beer and ended up drunker than I’ve been in years. :dread:

How's the fun goin'? Who's been smashing records at the arcade?

A couple of miscreants called BUM and ASS, if the highscores are anything to go by.

Lovely.
To both the fun time and those names on the records.

Had a right laugh today, shame it had to end! Thanks again you legend Chocolate-Milk for hosting, we have to do this again some time!

The arcade in Bury is good fun, even if it does get a bit busy at times. My favourites are the Japanese rythmn games that have impenetrable menus.

Gutted I missed this - glad it was success and you all had fun

I went to NQ64 in Soho, another videogame pub - that ones also worth checking out but doesn't sound as good as your Manchester one
