Meet-up in Leeds

 Wednesday 7th January 2026               Meet-up in Leeds

This would be the first of the years get-together for the Lads, seven of them converging in Leeds Railway Station at about midday. It was a cold start for all of them, freezing overnight temperatures adding to the underfoot conditions as they now made their way through the streets of the city heading in the direction of the Royal Armouries and the surrounding area. Their intended target was that of Pizza Express outlet, but on way they chose a different venue, that of the Joshua Tetley building.

So it was Keith, John, Derek, Dave, Brian, Colin and Glenn that set foot inside this reinvigorated establishment, much to their delight. The whole ground floor was now a large bar and eating area with plenty of seating facilities to suit all occasions etc.

The Lads choosing an appropriate table and making themselves feel at home so to speak. Not before too long the menu had been browsed over and their individual choices along with a drink ordered.

It was about twenty minutes before their meals were served, so as per usual the main topic of conversation was what were the final arrangements for the upcoming outings etc, along with this the lads talked about past events and each other’s health issues that have to be considered when making their plans etc.

Everyone seamed to be pleased with this change of venue, so with our meals enjoyed and the time now at a few minutes after 2 pm it was farewell to the Joshua Tetley building and make our respective journeys homeward bound.

Yet another great day out with the Lads 

Cheers Everyone
