7th 14th and 21st November ok as we would be doing Dudley fest on 28th. Any venue ok. Love York (will be there a few days when fest on in September) and haven't been to Bristol for a while. Derby OK if you are into brew pubs as so many seem to be brewing these days. Manchester would be fine as we only seem to do Northern Quarter when we go there, so could discover some new ones. Will go with the flow though as being in the Midlands we don't have the extortionate train fares - I hope!!
