PuG Crawl Harrogate 7th July 2023.

[Bucking Fastard]

Thought I would start a seperate thread.There was some discussion in Norwich and in the Norwich thread about Newcastle but is that a consensus or are there any other suggestions ? We could always do a poll and likewise what dates make sense,possibly another poll for that ?

I'd say date first - if it's a date I can't make (eg a Friday) then I, and some others, wouldn't have a need to vote on the destination.

I agree, lets fix the date first...

On venue. Is Crewe worth a shout ?

I used to visit Crewe a lot in the late 80's when my firm had a (Northern :-) ) office in nearby Nantwich and thought it weak for a major rail terminus in those days. But I read the article in this months BEER and seems much improved.

[Quinno]

Whilst I won't vote on a venue if I can't make it, a Northern destination which I'd be fine to miss as I did it a short while ago (but with very fine pubs) is Rochdale. If you take the tram then there's also a couple in Oldham that are also well-worth a shout as well.

[AlanH]

Crewe sounds a good idea with its recent improvements. Only 10mins on the train to a few extras in the nice town of Nantwich.

Another town packed with good pubs just one stop past Crewe is Chester.

Crewe, Chester or Rochdale seen a good choice to start with.
Or Liverpool could qualify in the "Over 10 year rule!"

That's a good point.

That seems logical,I've posted a poll starting in June with as many dates as the poll allows ie. 14 Fridays and Saturdays.

[london calling]

It aint going to be a Saturday according to past preferences so just stick to Fridays.

[Tris39]

Where has the poll results table gone?

[Strongers]

Where has the poll results table gone?

It's still there, on the other Northern Crawl thread.

So Friday 7th July it is then...
