Are you going Claire? with you car? because i could make it to huddersfield but im not sure if i could get to the base by myself, and i'd love to go!

[Claire]

Yup, I am going from Huddersfield Train station at 10:30am if you'd like a lift:)
I am not sure yet if I will be coming back to Huddersfield or going straight to Leeds from the demo as I’m off out in Leeds that night.


So if I don’t go back to Huddersfield I could drop you at Leeds Train Station instead if that’s ok? Should get back to Huddersfield / Leeds no later than 6pm I should think.



Smartie.uk is coming too and I think so is People are Strange.



I went to the one near Pickering last weekend and it was great!

See you there! Love Clairexxx

[the_river_daughter]

ooooh i think i should be able ot make that, and yeah leeds is no problem i can get the train/bus from there just as easy as huddersfield :)


i'll drop you a txt on friday to confirm i can go my dear!

now, when it says "dress accordingly" ......

[Claire]
