welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

:) there is to be a meeting to welcome nastya & nina, roys wife & daughter home from russia , it will be the august bank holiday weekend , exact date & venue later, or anyone any ideas?:confused:

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

house warming party as well? everyone to roys and bring a bottle... hehehehe

just a suggestion :)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

If it's a nice weekend, can we have somewhere with a beer garden. I know it sounds a bit health professional ish, but I have a thing about babies and smoky pubs (Cot Death Guidelines):)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

have to agree there lettie, so people get yer thinking caps on , i think it may start as an afternoon do lettie just for nina sake (hope the weather is good ) then it doesnt upset her bed time routine, then we can all see her happy little face ///;)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

I'd prefer an afternoon do...especially if the weather's good. Any ideas about venue?

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Yep! count me in. lol

Ever since I've joined Accyweb I've be come an old drunk. (joking) :idunno:

somewhere out side would be fine by me as long as some one can organize the Sun to shine. lol

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

You can count me and Anne in too

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

What an absolutely fantastic excuse! :D

Could we also have somewhere that sells real live beer as well, please.:)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

I've just been virtually prodded to name a pub with a beer garden.

My suggestion is the Whittakers Arms on Burnley Road, opposite the main gates to Accrington cemetary. It has a large grassed beer garden to the rear.
I'm not sure whether it serves real live beer. I may have to do a little investigative journalism here, and report back. ;) :D

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

good on yer sparks, wot a good suggestion, i would never thought of there , plz can you sus it out for us ta // :coffeecup:

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Well i've just been round for my first peek at baby Nina. And what a georgious little girl too.
I have to say well done to Roy and Nastya for bringing her into the world..... Wll Done:)

And i have to add that in all the years i've known Roy this is the most settled and calmest i've ever seen him:D Keep it up mate it suits;)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Ahhhh I can't wait to see her.

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

wot about the shepards rest up ossy (church really) next to the old palladium? always quiet in there, they do food too, resonabley priced, got garden benches outside, no grass but spacious inside, opposite ossy mills, come on people give me some suggestions as to where to meet PLEASE//

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Is this the last weekend in August? I may be back again by then. I'm off again tomorrow. :)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

yes willow its on the 28th bank holiday weekend, hope you can make this one, have a good hol, hope the weather is good for you up there.

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Hmmmm bank hol weekend could be a bad one.....

Its the British Offroad Motorsport Show at Trentham Gardens, and i can't miss that!!!

Come to think of it Roy usualy goes too..

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Unfortunately I don't think our good friend Baabara will be able to make it. I saw her today, she is on holiday in Scarborough. She was being carried around by a young man and looked very inflated and happy.:) If you don't believe me ask Sparky. We will be going to Whittakers tomorrow night to sample the beer.

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Is that the pub which used to be called The Cemetary?

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Yep it sure is..

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Sad people! get a life. lol

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

There is the Plough up Fielding lane and then the Shoulder of Mutton at the top.The Red Lion up Willows lane has one and then there is the Spinning Jenny.Me i prefer teh Red Lion and the Shoulder of Mutton as its out in the country and you can let the Kids run about.

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Red Lion? Have you been up there recently?

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

is everyone up for a bank hol weekend meet? we will have to meet nastya & nina on an earlier or later weekend due to diff circumstances sorry //

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

The Red Lion is now a residential property Mik.

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

ooo is it really doug , mind you its ages since i passed that way, ahh well things do change .

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Here's the low down on the Whittakers Arms, courtesy of Lettie and myself. :)

It would most definitely be suitable for an Accyweb meet-up. The pub is very spacious inside, with plenty of comfortable seating areas. To the rear of the pub, there are some picnic style table and seat combinations, on the edge of an enclosed carpark. Behind this, overlooked by the Coppice, there is a grassed area.
Behind the bar was the usual range of lagers, cider and fizz beer. Most noticeably they were serving three real live beers. Moorhouses Premier, brewed in Burnley; Timothy Taylor's Landlord and a very dry summer ale by the Phoenix Brewery called Arizona. This place certainly gets a thumbs up from me, for the quality and selection of real beer. :thumbsup:

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

HI all, sorry I can't be there but congrads to Roy and family! Time seems to fly by these days and I don't seem to get on here as often as I used to:( but I do think of you all!!!!!! sounds like you lots have got round to organise some friendly 'pings' ( term used over here for ****-ups where people that don't really know each other very well but have things in comman) Well done Roy for starting all this!!!!!!!


One day i'll make it back and we can have a 'welcome little-mo' ping!!!!! hope you all have lots of fun!

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

We most certainly will Littlemo. Whittakers also do food, and have a Sunday carvery. For about £8 ish you can have an all you can eat carvery including sweet and ??starter. It would probably be cheaper than our curry bill. I think we should try it sometime.:D

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

thanks spaeks & lettie it seams a good choice so shall we make it the 28th at the whittikers arms, that is on a saturday, no doubt tea will be happy with the real ale,now all we need is a time to meet,?

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

I still don't know what I'm working Mez. If I'm still in my present job, I will be working friday night, so I will meet you at about 3-4pm. If I am in my new job then I still don't know which shifts I'll be covering. I'll be there if I can..:)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

I have a request..:) I have just found out that Sparky will be going back to China to work on Monday 23rd August for at least a couple of weeks. He will miss the Bank Holiday meet up. Would anyone like to meet us for a drink the weekend before on either 21st or 22nd. :drunk:

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Also the next post from Mez:-

Yep I'll be there lettie, as for Roy etc don't forget Mez that when Roy gets back from Ireland He's going straight to Russia again, so, we don't know if he'll be back in time (hard work keeping up with these jet setters isn't it?).

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

The Welcoming Of Nastya & Nina Has Been Postponed Until Some Time In September , Sorry If Youve Already Made Arrangements.

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
 

Does anyone still want to meet me and Sparky for a drink on 21st or 22nd August to say cheerio before he goes to China..:)

Re: welcoming nastya & baby nina////
