Bob,

Thanks  so much - we had real problems the other week trying to find somewhere that didn't insist on us staying two nights, but we found a place in the end.

I'd encourage anybody who wants to meet up with us to take up Bob's offer!

I just know you are going to have a great time on Saturday.

Please remember to have one for me(or three or four)

ooh I wish I could be there

Lots and lots of pics as Mobo says for us to see you all,
aim to stay upright and within the law

Love from Jakky

If somebody with local knowledge could suggest a place that can accomodate a group of us for lunch in the centre of York, then it would be appreciated.

[Bob2399]

There is a great Chinese Buffet called Jumbos in york.

Now you tell us Bob! 

Thanks though - next time I'll book in with you - I promise!

Oh - I like the sound of Jumbos too! 

Best wishes

Hi all,I will catch up with you at The Royal Oak,Jumbos is a good idea(eat as much as you like Chinese Buffet and there are 2 other restaraunts similar on the same street)
Be warned York town centre gets very busy and raucous on Saturday nights and most pubs get crowded.See you there,Pete

Jumbos sounds like a lot of fun but it takes quite a long time to eat chinese....

Is there any good cafes in the area that do tea and sandwiches ??
