Roundhay Roundup

 Wednesday

16th November 2022.     Roundhay  Roundup 

Today’s adventure was literally a roundup for the Lads as 10 of them gathered at a local Inn situated in the Leeds suburb of Roundhay. The Inn in question was the Roundhay Fox, a rather extensive building that proved to be very busy especially around lunchtime.

However this location was chosen for its close proximity to the home of our dear friend Tim Kearney who was able to make the relatively short journey as he has mobility issues. Along with Tim would be John, Colin, Derek,Brian, Malcolm and Dave plus a guest appearance by John Howarth, Russ Parkinson and Glen Walton. The 10 of us were able to find a couple of suitable tables to sit around and discuss whatever topics took our fancy, mainly they were about the past experiences of working at Thackray’s or any other title it my have had along with the numerous names of former colleagues that were associated with that place. 

Some of the 10 hadn’t seen each other for years, so it was good to have a catch up etc. After a short while we all took a look at the menu and eventually order a meal which we enjoyed as the conversations continued, before we knew it almost 2 hours had passed us bye and the clock on the wall was saying 2 pm .So unfortunately it was off to the bus stop for several of the Lads in order to take the No 12 back towards the city centre and then our respective modes of transport home.

Yet another great day out with the Lads 

Cheers Everyone
