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 have three pinnies. I am not bringing any of them.

ifiwasarichwoman · 31/08/2012 05:50

When I met dh I was an afficianado of table top dancing and drinking gin!!!!

Sadly I am on my third baby in 5 years and if I tried to table top dance - I would either break said table or roll off it at the moment.

Pistey I have had so many name changes I can't even remember who I am myself - I log in with my email address these days Grin.

Your comments about the blanketeers are so lovely :).

You all made me laugh with talk of fair isle jumpers and crocheted tutus, and believe me at the moment anything that makes me laugh - is only a good thing.

If I sip a glass of wine and head for a table - someone has to stop me and if anyone wants to stay up til 4 - I can keep them company as I'm always awake half the night.

JugglingWithFiveRings · 31/08/2012 09:49

Yeh, I hope they have strong tables Frank ?

< worries, and thinks the quiet corner with cocoa and a warm blanket sounds quite cosy Grin Especially if it's one made by the lovely blanketeers Smile >

ifiwasarichwoman · 31/08/2012 10:08

As I am large and round - please bring me cake - Im a crap cook and I have a craving for home baked carrot cake - the tescos and asdas ones just don't hit the spot - even the finest ones.

MOSagain · 31/08/2012 17:13

have just paid my money. DH will HAVE to let me go now Grin

FrankWippery · 31/08/2012 18:49

Juggling - yup I'm getting special ones in Grin

MOS cheers medear.

I am bringing a cake ifiwas, not a carrot one, but if you're lucky I might just make you one anyway. Call it a present for the baby Wink
