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'll stick with you then BIWI - but are you up for some table dancing to Queen ?! ( actually I'm not sure I am either so don't hold me to that ! )

• Bought a purple hat today though, with red and gold stripes, in honour of the occasion

I too am old and weeble like, and panicking what to wear.

I'm back but it was horrible except for the shops for the older people

Only got the hat because purple and hats feature in the fab old lady poem

Heaven knows what else I'll be able to find to go with it from my extensive floordrobe

As long as I can have a good sit down between songs, Juggling.

and a bucket-ful of white wine

Rubes - when is your 1st wedding anniversary?? What are you doing to celebrate?

Ours was yesterday!

Woke up with wine mouth - so MNing at silly o' clock and drinking copious amounts of squash!

only just seen this. Is it too late to put my hand up? BIWI and Pistey can vouch for me and confirm I'm not a loon and don't live under a bridge

yaaay for MOS

Afternoon

Finally found the thread again.

I'm vouching for MOS too.

Weelllll ....

juggling Im liking the sound of that hat.

Oi! BIWI!

I am an upstanding member of the community allegedly

Pistey - I am really looking forward to meeting you, your work with the Mumsnet blankets is wonderful - (fawning emotion).

I feel so special Right, can someone please give me the idiots guide to paying my £20?

MOS - if you are looking for a room we still have a space in ours, assuming the usual 4 squash in a family travellodge room like normal

OR just wearing purple, being outrageously rude to anyone I take an irrational dislike to, and dancing on a table to Queen ....

I too shall be doing these things. We could start a purple-wearing, rude-being, table-dancing quiche.

You say you are a name changer, I wonder who you've been before......

I agree with you, the Mumsnet blankets are wonderful, but bless you, honestly, I only do an admin part in the process! I'm just a small part of a very big team - crafters, donors, those who think to nominate someone, those who hook the blankets together, and folk never cease to amaze with their energy and compassion. As much as I would love to name some names of wonderful individuals here, I'm not going to, because actually everyone needs each other, tis proper teamwork. But thank you, the work the team does is definitely wonderful, on that I concur!! X

Happily, there will be a good turnout of Blanketeers on 29th, you will spot them as they cluster in a corner with their hooks, woolly wool and needles, and start discussing the merits of fairisle, and the like... As if!!! They will be the ones dancing on the tables with the rum and the gin

Hahaha Pistey!

Actually ifIwasarichwoman Pistey has rum swigging and table top dancing down to a mighty fine art. She is oft to be seen at South London pubs in her freshly crocheted tutu and matching crop top. It is a fine sight to see, spesh when Knotty and Dances join her.

Hussies.

Confused .

'tis like communicating with teenagers - anyone else a Pagan (probably not spelt like that) .
