Didsbury: To get there: take the 142 or 42 bus heading out of town. It will pass through Rusholme, Fallowfield and Withington before getting to Didsbury. On entering Didsbury the bus route suddenly becomes more light having gone through the residentially bit between Withington and Didsbury. On seeing the Aldi sign (on right) or Gormet Burger Kitchen on the left Press the button on the bus and get off. The pub is right next to the first bus stop in the village (opposite Zizi’s) If you need anymore directions just give me a call and i’ll try to help. (07817199552)

Hiya Guys and Girls,

Next week at network we shall be having “robot wars”, due to a slight double booking at 88th, we shall be in 123rd (my group) this week instead. 123rd is in Whalley range, as such, we have 2 cars heading over. It is also easily cyclable. We shall be starting at 8pm or just after.

There is 1 seat on offer from Dale, from Rusholme. And Tom Wilkinson is offering 4 seats. He shall be waiting in sainsbury’s car park in Fallowfield at 7.45pm to leave at 7.50pm. If you are going to be late but would like a lift you will need to let tom know so he can wait for you (Tom Wilko: 07772464935).

Additionally, Subs for Network are now due: they are £25 for the full year and anyone attending occasional can pay occasional member subs (£6) which cover 6 evening or 3 camps. We have introduced occasional member subs for people who only want or who only can come every so often. This is to cover any costs involved and for camps to cover any kit wear and tear. Subs are due by 5th December. You can pay by cash or cheque or BACs. All money needs to go to our treasurer Matt.

YiS,
