West Yorkshire SAAB who? West Yorkshire SAAB Enthusiasts, that's us :wink:

Following our first gathering, bolstered by a couple of our friends from Lancashire, here's the second of our gatherings on the last Tuesday of the month - so, 26th February for the next one.

Where?
The Old Tramshed (known locally as "The Tramshed") on Saltaire roundabout. They serve good food if you want to eat out, or just drinks if you don't want to eat - we hope the evening will be informal and a chance for SAABers from West Yorkshire to get together.

How do I get there? Click:

The format is quite open - a couple of drinks and on for a "proper" Bradford curry seemed to work last time, but we can easily decide on the evening depending on what people want to do.

Let's park in the back car park this time - there is a second car park over the road opposite the pub where I parked, causing some concern that I might not have turned up. Sorry about that :wink:

Guys - Curry seems to be popular and with most people driving, one alcoholic drink is the limit, really.

So ... what about we meet up at The Tramshed (park around the back), say our "hellos" and then wander down to the real ale pub down the road for a proper drink? If we meet up between 19:30 and 20:00 and get off to Fanny's Ale House around 20:15 we can have a proper drink and then off into Manningham by about 21:30 for an early-ish curry at the K2 Restaurant (cracking chicken madras there - best I've ever had, TBH). If we stick to roughly those times, any latecomers will know roughly where we are. What say you guys?

So, 19:30 meet at The Old Tramshed (park here)
20:15 ... onto Fanny's Ale House
21:30 ... back up to The Old Tramshed car park and on to the K2 Restaurant (park here)

... plenty of time for people to get home on a school night :wink:

Nah! Just re-checked them ... they're okay for me. I've re-linked with a lightly further out view. Anyone else having problems with the maps?
