Following the success of a small gathering last October in Stratford-upon-Avon to mark the 40th anniversary of us all meeting, we are meeting again in July in the West Yorkshire town: Hebden Bridge. All 1974 Modern Languages graduates are invited.
Hebden Bridge is only a 20 min train ride from Bradford, so anyone who wants to go and see what has happened to the university since we were all there can do so. On the edge of town is the area known as Hardcastle Crags, an absolutely stunning place as anyone who has visited me here already can tell you and a mecca for walkers (mentioned in the Daily Telegraph). For those who like a bit more of a challenge, there is Stoodley Pike: for both proper walking boots are recommended.
There are some good restaurants, serving a range of food, including Turkish, Thai, Italian and CURRIES! There is also a highly recommended fish and chip restaurant in the centre. We have more than a dozen pubs, though I personally only go to 2 of them, because they are the only ones that are truly independent, and always have a good selection of real ale.
The proposed weekend is the last weekend of the Arts Festival for anyone who wants to see some performances. There are also canal boat trips for anyone who wants to see the scenery from a different perspective.
So, come and join us! Please contact Martin Fraser on martingermanspanish@hotmail.com for any more information.
