<p>Eastpath: /* Cannot attend */</p> <hr /> <div>{{TT Meet}}<br /> ==Introduction==<br /> The 2012 UK Transport Tycoon Forums meet is planned to take place in '''Crewe''' on the 25th August. We will be congregating at the '''Gaffers Row''' pub at '''48 Victoria Street''' for drinks and lunch, before moving on to the Crewe Heritage Centre in the afternoon. See below for further details on the venue, activities, and getting around Crewe.<br /> <br /> As with previous years, we will not be able to accept responsibility for under-18s at the meet, so we respectfully ask that you do not attend if you are under 18 unless you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. As our initial venue is a public house, please be aware that '''entrance or service may be refused to under-18s'''.
