ThomasFoster Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Right, I've now read the thread and I'm definitely up for races and ghost walk. I'll take care of my own accomodation, somewhere central to York. I'm coming up Thursday lunchtime and going back Monday, but I'm probably going to use any time before the BwB descends on mass to visit a few old friends / beloved places, and ditto Monday if everyone's gone. Can't wait! Already planning outfits for the races - just how big does my hat have to be?Oh, and massive kudos to Sean for organising so much. When we finally get a BwB commune, Seany 4 President!

Sophelia Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Current plans (spearheaded by Sean):Friday 29th - people start arriving - Ghost walk meeting at 7.30pm outside the Jorvik Viking Centre. Costs £4, or £2 for students. However we could do a group booking (reduces it to £3 each), or ask for a private tour (£50 minimum) - this might be worth asking about given there are approx 16 of us.Is there anyone arriving on Friday apart from Red Sun who won't be on the Ghost Walk?Saturday 30th - Day at the Races*, followed by party in the Mason's Arms in the evening.* for people who don't fancy the races there will be an alternative expedition - maybe a visit to the Yorvik Viking CentreSunday 31st - people start leaving - for those of us still remaining, here's some ideas: walk around historic York, followed by evening revelry at the Riverside flat - anyone who is still around on Sunday evening is invited for dinner/drinks (be warned you may be coaxed into playing live mafia).Monday 1st June - people are leaving at various times - probably a good time for wandering around shopping and stuffEdited Sean's links in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luzifer's right hand Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Is there anyone arriving on Friday apart from Red Sun who won't be on the Ghost Walk?I won't be on the Ghost Walk. I'm going to arrive rather late on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Sean Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 RACE DAYAs our weather is anything but predictable, I'm going to go ahead and pre-book the £16 tickets (for the Grandstand and Paddock area) for myself and Chal, which gives us access to the £5 area as well.Here's more info on the race meet:York Race MeetThe Race course web site has been updated and is now a whole heap more user friendly and informative.

Alytha Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'd like to go on the ghost walk, I hope I'll arrive on time. I might just have to ditch my stuff at the apartment and leave again immediately :)I'll have to see about the races, I might prefer the alternative there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Sun Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'll have to see about the races, I might prefer the alternative there ;)The alternative brings me in a serious conflict. I have never been to races or to Viking museums, and this semester, I have a partly viking themed reading class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Just so your aware, as I live in York I will probably be able to get to one or two of these events, but not sure what yet. Just realised that despite posting on this thread i hadn;t said anything about myself appearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I've just discovered that it's a friend's birthday party that Saturday... in Sheffield, which is an hour away from York on the train. There is therefore a distinct possibility I may head over there for a few hours and miss part of the pub... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't pressed the button since I only have a B&W one. How much money off do you get? I didn't do anything about a group booking because I don't know how many people read the thread.Ratty - I've added you to the attendees list so you're not forgotten ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zollo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I am a definite no, btw. Have a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Sean Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Good suggestion - let's use the pub as a rendezvous. :)Cool, I'll probably be there from about 6.You need a colour printer, allegedly, to print the money-off voucher. I haven't pressed the button since I only have a B&W one. How much money off do you get? I didn't do anything about a group booking because I don't know how many people read the thread.It's for two people and it gives 50p off, each. It may not be the biggest saving in the world but every penny counts. ;)Ratty - I've added you to the attendees list so you're not forgotten ;)Sorry Ratty, it will be good to meet you!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
