its more to do with owner,that taints my view of the place.plus there too many trendy student types(sorry),but it is ok if you only go there once in a while mind you!

Definately up sunday, might squeez sat in aswell?
i got anther event up there on tues tho so i might be sick of the sight of
the place

lookin forward to it

**manzo** · 24-05-2005, 09:32 AM

What's everyone doing during the day on Saturday? Myself and Colin will be arriving at the station by midday, so is anyone going to be around?

**LDJB** · 24-05-2005, 09:50 AM

Can anyone give us direction to the Tanners or a place to aim for on Sunday?

Mr Divine will be driving us down on Sunday (I will be sitting in the passenger seat primarily changing the tape and administering the occasional slap to ensure the Divine One remains awake - well, he is DJing the night before) so any pointers on where to head for would be good - I think we'll be OK to get to Newcastle form Edinburgh but once there I'm clueless!

**mr sayers** · 24-05-2005, 10:32 AM

ok lee mate.i don't drive and im crap with directions,but i'll give it a go!

its shields road that the pub is on. head for byker, and just before you go across the bridge its on your right hand side. theres a cluster of four/ five shops its the first one.

when you get into newcastle you're heading east. it shoud be sign posted byker/wallsend.

ill pm you my phone number. sorry if thats not much help. i'll ring nige tonite to see if he can post up some better directions (which wont be hard as mine are lame!)

cheers hope thats of some help mate!!!

**LDJB** · 24-05-2005, 10:40 AM

Cheers Mr Sayers - It's OK - I've got directions from Yell. When are people going to be at the Tanners from? Is there a pre-Tanners meet up happening or are we all assembling there?

Give him a slap for me too (I just want to make sure you two arrive safely

).

**scriptfliper** · 24-05-2005, 07:41 PM

Hi Lee, i spoke to Sayer today and he said his directions skills were lacking somewhat!
sounds like your sorted, but I still feel it necessary to help, (it's a bloke thing, can't resist giving directions!)

Basicly if your coming down thru jedburgh (A68) you'll join the A696 to newcastly,
when you come to the A1 roundabout go straight over,
you'll join the A167, stay on this road and it magically turns into the
A167M,
take they byker turn off, A187.
Follow this road for about 1/2 a mile and you'll see the tanners on the right hand side.

see you there.

if you need a map... http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...multimap.y=274

**LDJB** · 24-05-2005, 08:48 PM

Cheers all!

See you there.

**Sie Vulture** · 25-05-2005, 10:12 AM

Tonight, Sayer and I are doing the "random lottery style" names-out-a-hat antics for generating playtimes for this Sunday..

On Sunday, we start at 4pm and finish at 10.30pm, so that's 13 x 30 minute play slots...

The names going into the hat are listed on the flyer...

We have been asked to reserve a 5pm spot for Chris V, to fit in with his train times, therefore only 12 names go into the hat for 12 slots.

If anyone else has got a "play early / play late" preference then please shout up now, if not your name is in the hat later today!

Cheers!

That's all well and good mate, but I can't imagine you in a hat, except that beanie you sported down t'salmon. Is the beanie said hat, or are you going more for the cowboy 10 gallon steez?
