andybarton Posted March 6, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 6, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ideas time for sometime in April / May. 1. Jodrell Bank - last chance to see before The Department for Closing Things Down, erm, closes it down. Then onto 2. Little Moreton Hall (OK, NT, I know, I know...) Suggestions?

Advertisement Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Hi andybarton, Take a look here NWUK Springwatch 2008. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jmr Posted March 6, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 6, 2008 Andy, excellent suggestion - a combination of the ancient and the up-to-date, just like Leica. I'll come along, prior engagements permitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 17, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted March 17, 2008 One weekend towards the end of April? Any other bright ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted March 20, 2008 I have invited her, but not heard back yet. I'm not sensing an overwhelming enthusiasm for this, I have to say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted March 22, 2008 Share #7 Posted March 22, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've always found Jodrel a bit disappointing for photography, LMH suffers from the no photos policy of the NT, which I see as a challenge; there is hardly any furniture inside. Perhaps the two could be done together? As both are only about 20 minutes from me I should have some insider-knowledge of photo-ops. The Japanese garden at Tatton Hall can be good on a nice day, maybe we could do that one as well? It's a NT property but members still have to pay.

cocker Posted March 22, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 22, 2008 Sorry Andy - I've only just noticed this! It would be very happy with both these. Maybe am for one then on to somewhere for lunch and then the other place after lunch? End April/ early May would be fine for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted March 28, 2008 Share #11 Posted March 28, 2008 Macaroons are us! Another date for your collective diaries, Monday 5th May (BH) is the Gawsworth Hall Classic Car Rally/Show. Always lots of really nice old cars at Cheshire's best posh address and the Hall is included in the entry price of only £5. Gawsworth Hall - Ancient Cheshire Manor House That's a nice shot on their website, I wonder who....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted March 28, 2008 That sounds like a plan... Looks like one of Steve's shots on that front page there, Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTD Posted March 28, 2008 Share #14 Posted March 28, 2008 Dave - a lift to/from anywhere won't be a problem. Cheers – that would be great – perhaps we can sort something out a bit nearer the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted April 20, 2008 Share #15 Posted April 20, 2008 Rumour has it that Spring may be 'pon us soon (OK, so we had daffodils and Bumble bees in February and we saw two Swallows last Sunday but, despite this globular warming thing, it's still bleedin' arctic outside), so what are we doing next? I have to be at the Gawsworth gig (incidentally, this year the £5 does not get you into the house, that's and extra quid) but any of the other suggested venues would be fine too.

stunsworth Posted April 21, 2008 Share #17 Posted April 21, 2008 Gawsworth Hall - Ancient Cheshire Manor House 5th of May. I'm guessing a dog on a lead would be ok. I'll probably go myself if the weather's ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted April 22, 2008 Share #20 Posted April 22, 2008 All the usual suspects, eh? Make sure to order your bacon butties early- they always run out. btw, it is now officially Spring; our bats came out for the first time this evening.
