Maybe. Anyway, my attention was caught by this little snippet of information re the T5E signing tour: >Saturday 13th November > >12.00-1.00pm >Borders, 94-96 Briggate, Leeds > So, anyone else likely to be there? Any chance of this developing into a meet of any kind? I was thinking of a kind of afternoon get together, but it could develop into an evening do (what can I say, I'm easily led). If anyone is interested, and knows a good place to go (I don't live in Leeds, it's just the nearest place on the tour), then let me know. If there's enough interest, I'll get back to you. (Well, no, I'll get back to you anyway. If there's enough interest, I'll get back to you with more details.) Diane J.

Very conveniently the book shop has a cafe, where the meet will commence, moving a little later to Whitelocks pub further down Briggate, down the side of the Northern Rock Building Society. As the signing starts at noon, the meet start time is flexible from then on. BM Alex (Carlton) and Andrea have volunteered (well ALMOST volunteered, definitely conscripted) to host the meet , I won't be available for the start, though I will be in the shop. Look for the tee-shirts and chocolate etc. GETTING THERE By car The suggested parking place, as it is Saturday (not the best day to park in the city), is the Merrion Centre - complicated directions from the end of the M1/M621 are appended. Coming in to Leeds from the south on the M1/M621 follow the signs for the city centre. The approach is quite messy - too many traffic lights! - but just keep going straight ahead. Pass the Privilege Insurance Company building on the left, then the Hilton Hotel. Under wide railway bridge - the Dark Arches -(the station is now in your left) as you go up a short rise to traffic lights stay in right hand lane. Follow signs for the Infirmary and the University - you are about to go through City Square - the centre of Hell. Take the second exit from City Square, (narrow turning at 11 o'clock) along Quebec Street (the Norwich Union office is on your right, stay in right hand lane. Round to right (East Parade) - in middle lane as you approach second set of traffic lights. This is the Headrow junction. Straight across at lights move to right hand lane when past lights. Up to next lights, turn right (Great George Street) Middle lane to next lights - straight over junction - Merrion Centre is on your left. Next left around back of Centre, car park entrance on your left. Walking from the car park go back to the last set of traffic lights, turn left downhill (Albion Street) down to the Headrow, turn left and Briggate is the next major road on your right. Borders is near the junction. By train Train into Leeds City Station. From City Square cross the road to your right on to Boar Lane - a little further on you will see the entrance to the Bond Street Centre across the road. Go through the Centre to the north into Bond Street, turn right down Commercial Street to junction with Briggate. Turn left up Briggate and Borders is on the right near the top of the hill. By bus Bus into Quarry Hill bus station. behind the bus station is Kirkgate Market. Walk up the hill alongside the market (George Street) to Vicar Lane. Cross the Lane - using the crossings or you take you life in your hands - and continue up the hill (now a paved area, King Edward Street) to the next junction which is Briggate. Turn right and Borders is further up on the right. - --- Pam xxx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQBVAwUBOCHw91EnYeztdy65AQH4fgH/QIwV/Mks5XvXWD3AzCChUW78HDO4iBpv YAMyXJAnb7hVMJBL6wRPe+l01FQxTuGT+XgidmEXgxGbPveO6OYPdw== =QDZn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions for alt.fan.pratchett.announce to: afpa-mod@lspace.org All submissions are PGP signed.

Prizes are Clarecraft figures donated by a local shop. Some of the staff are also preparing food using recipes from the cookbook for those attending. It seems they have decided to make this a big event so bring your brains and pencils and your appetites with you. --- Pam xxx
