Hi, noticed there are quite a lot of pals from gods own county !!!, just wondered if any of you meet up at all, would be nice to meet any more tykes with a similar interest !,
kind regards,
John.

Hello John,
I invited the Yorkshire Pals to meetings of the Wakefield Military History and Medals Club which meets in the Horbury Band Club Rooms on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Several people showed interest and two or three Pals visited. There is also the Western Front Association, there are two Branches in Yorkshire; one meets in York and the other is based in Kippax. I'd be interested in meeting up and I'm sure there might be one or two more with a bit of arm twisting. Where are you in Yorkshire and what are your interests ? Hope this stimulates some response to your post !
Regards
Ron

Don't be too sure, they'll be worried they might have to get a round in....!!

Hello 'Ponte Fractus',
Glad to see you're back to full fettle. Surely they'll just buy their own !

Hi Ron and Ponte,
I'm out towards the dales between Skipton and Settle, at a bit of a disadvantage as no transport of my own so rely on the public variety !, I joined the WFA and with the York meetings being on saturdays they are do able by train for me so hope to get one in this year. My main interest has been looking at the actions of the 14th(light) division in 1916 and 1917 as family members served, also interested in the battle of Amiens and the 3rd London regiment in the 100 days as my grandfather was transfered to them in 1918,
kind regards,
John.

I will going to the York meeting on Saturday, but I have the advantage that I live in York.

Do we get to blow our own cornets or in my case Bugle.

There's also the Bradford WW1 group who meet monthly. Trish posts occasionally on here.I was made very welcome when one of my rare visits to Bradford co-incided with one of their meetings.

None of my visits home (Thirsk) have coincided with a meeting that I am aware of, but if it did I'd certainly put in an appearance ...

It looks like 'Trish' and Mike Woods have produced a wonderful publication (They have. I was looking at it today in the library). There has also been some wonderful work compiled by those involved in transcribing the Telegraph and Argus.

Thanks everyone, will search out the bradford book,looks most interesting,
cheers, John.

I can recommend the Wakefield Club having sneaked in to one of their events a couple of years ago. A very friendly crowd, even when they doscovered I'm from the wrong side o't Pennines.

Hello Roger,

Nice one !

Nice one Ron, for that I might just pop along a week on Tuesday and see what all the fuss is about.

Hi Ron,

Is it this Tuesday the next meeting and whats the address please.

Cheers Roger.

You've lost me a bit here !, I play a mean comb and greasproof paper, does that count ?. !!!!!!!

I would but I need assurance I'm not likely to be deported. I will wear my badge to Pudsey Militaria Fair tommorow.

Hello Roger,
Yes it this coming Tuesday at the Horbury Band Room, Horbury. It's a Member's Own Night, take something along and talk about it for 10 minutes or so. Small friendly bunch, tea and biscuits provided. Let me know if you are going.
Regards
Ron

Hi there Ron,

Ooops I have forgotten we are booked on the 19.00 mini cruise to Amsterdam tomorrow, see my new thread in Skindles.

Sorry.

Cheers Roger.

Hello Roger,
Enjoy your trip, don't get up to any mischief !

Ron

I was just thinking about this myself today, nice indeed to see a few other Yorkshire folk.
I live in Harrogate, and work over in the Dales, and would be interested to know about the kind of meetings that go on. I can get about by train or car, only problem with Yorkshire is it's so big!

Having usually attended an remembrance event with friends and living history group members in Shropshire I'm not likely to be able to get down there easily this year I'm probably going to attend a local one hereabouts. Spolit for choice in Harrogate they have about 5 parades in different spots at the weekend. Anyone been to any, or is there one on in York.? Any of the forum pals getting together. I thought about going up to Hartlepool because 3 of my relatives are commemorated there but I don't know anything about the services.

Matt
