            Line up at the Lime Tree

Wednesday 1st November 2023

The Lads have arranged to meet up in the town of Morley today, the venue is the Lime Tree Bistro. A time of 12:30 as been suggested in order to have a celebratory meal, the Lads walking group as been established in one form or another for over 10 years now, well done.

A decade of adventures have passed the lads bye, far too many to mention, but each and everyone of these escapades as been full of ever lasting memories filled with enjoyment ,laughter and tears to say the least.

So it was a group of nine that gathered at the Lime Tree, those being John, Colin, Brian, Derek, John Howarth, Glenn, Mark , Russ and Dave. Unfortunately Malcolm and Keith unable to attend for medical reasons.

After greeting each other a suitable table was found and then the various conversations began ,

although there was one main topic on the agenda today, besides reminiscing of bygone times a more up to date meeting needs to be sorted out, that of where to have Christmas Lunch etc.

Various venues have been banded about, the Greedy Duck, the Hungry Horse, Riverside Cafe,Pig and Whistle,Shepherds Arms and the Spotted Cow. Quite a selection to choose from.

Eventually the lads managed to narrow it down to just two, Shepherds Arms or Spotted Cow.

Then general consensus of opinion was that we attend the Spotted Cow for Christmas lunch and then visit the Shepherds Arms sometime in January to celebrate John and Dereks birthdays .

A Christmas Lunch menu for the Spotted Cow was found on their website, so John took it upon himself to list what each and everyone of us would like to choose from the menu then pass this list over to Brian who had agreed to make the reservation for us all, good old Brian.

Our lunch time meal here at the Lime Tree was enjoyed in good spirits even though some of us found our meals a little bit overcooked, that fact that we managed to sort out this year’s Christmas lunch was a blessing. 

Good to meet up again and chat about things present and passed, so with time approaching 3:00pm it was farewell to each other until next time, which will be a trip to Selby.

Cheers Everyone.
