Right, we have a venue, but I really need those that are coming/probable maybes to add themselves to the list please.
Working to a budget of £20/head, this will include 12-14 decent sized canapés per person, possibly more - but this will depend on final numbers IYKWIM (at least 12 though), along with 2-4 drinks depending on which lush drinks what 
not looking at Pistey oh no, not at all
The drinks can be done either by giving y'all a couple or three tickets with a pre agreed price on each, including in the £20, or when I have final numbers I can have x amount of wine/beer/soft drinks included in the price and we can guzzle delicately sip that and then buy our own once that's gone.
With regard to food, I will need to know well in advance of any allergies/number of veggies etc so I can order accordingly. Those that know me will know that I've recently started making proper grown up nice cakes, so I think I may treat you all to one at the do with which to stuff our faces round off the grub.
I'll ask MNHQ for a sticky thread as soon as venue is properly confirmed and I will also update the FB page/PM those not on FB with proper details.
