MN September Shindig

[FrankWippery]

Ok, so we have a venue, a growing list of those coming and Dances making lists.

I'm not going to give the address of the venue on this thread, but will put it in the FB Meet up Group and PM those who are not on FB. If you are and are not already in the group, please click the link and ask to be added and we shall do just that - just as soon as you have confirmed that you are coming and have made a payment of £20 to the Meet Up PayPal account.

The £20 will cover food (12-14ish decent sized canapés), anywhere between 2-4 drinks and, most importantly, cake. Depending on final numbers we have yet to decide whether to have a stock of paid for drinks - wine, beer, soft drinks perhaps, followed by a pay bar; or to do tokens of a set value that can be used for any drinks, again paying once you have used your tokens up.

The venue is just south of the river, next to Tower Bridge; BIWI, Pistey and I selflessly went and checked it out last week and it is lovely, great position and with easy transport to all London main line stations. Tube wise it has Northern Line, Jubilee Line and Circle/District lines running very close by.

With regard to food, when you have paid (please PM me or Pistey for the PayPal details as, again, I don't want to publish it for the world to see), could you please let me know any dietary requirements - allergies/vegetarian etc so that I can finalise the menu accordingly a couple of weeks before the bash.

Accommodation - we are hoping to sort out a group rate at a Travelodge, so if you are in need of a bed for the night, please do let me know and we can add you on to our list.

I will C&P the list of who is coming after this post. If you are coming and are not on it, please add yourself.

I think that's everything..... Any other questions, just let me know and I will, hopefully, be able to answer them.

I can get two nights at premier inn for £98, so I get an extra nigfht in London just wanted to know if the location of it would be ok, I will come up from nr Dover to London Bridge.

thank you frank

Right.

Traveldodgy booked (including brekkers and late checkout as per Annie's excellent idea) and money paid. (I think- DH did it for me, so if it doesn't appear, let me know...)

Huzzah!

Thanks Shodan, I shall change the list shortly. Pistey is keeping tabs on the PayPal stuff for us.

Deposit is paid and I will be going up there again in a couple of weeks to sort out food etc, so need people who have any dietary requirements to let me know as soon as possible please.

Shodan has paid [ThumbsUp] and thank you

You are most welcome to my excellent idea, Shodan. Having been forced to spend time sobering up in the lobby before I could walk out of the hotel both at last year's do and a recent work conference , I felt that late checkout was the way forward!!

Hi Annie - enjoyed your posts on seeker's thread today. I think we've had a somewhat similar life journey, though of course we may not have come to exactly the same conclusions. Possibly a catch-up at some point during the evening ?

Sorry for silence on this - something cropped up IRL which put the date in question, and it has now materialised in earnest, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to come off the list I'm afraid.

Have an outrageous time for me.

Poor show, Dilys!

I look forward to it, Juggling. Did you also end up Jewish?

No, but I absolutely adore the Rabbi Lionel Blue - I couldn't have raised my children without him (and his writings) I'd love to hear how you found that path !

Simple, I married an Israeli! Never read Lionel Blue, I should look him up....

I know Annie: it's rubbish. Real life is severely overrated if you ask me.

I'll try and remember to bring one of his books for you - I've got them all, so could spare one for you ! I ended up Quaker by the way

Sorry Rubes, can I add you on the next list please...

SGB are you coming then, you're not on the list?
I was going to ask you to make me a badge .
And was looking forward to sharing a fag break with you, a very quiet one obviously.
