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 come to the conclusion I may need to buy a hairbrush.

BellaVita · 06/09/2012 19:39

Grin knotty.

Can I just mention on here, that I had a bit of a stalkey incident and have removed all the MNetters from my FB account. It is not personal, and I hope it hasn't upset anyone. I can still see you all in the Event page there.

I've sent you a PM anyway!

JugglingWithFiveRings · 07/09/2012 09:16

Hi rubyruby I'd love a badge but I might need a bit of help ....

I thought I could have "juggling" curved around the top bit, and then the Olympic rings underneath, perhaps in their different colours. Maybe three tangential oranges randomly in the corners ? But I don't know how to go about doing all of that ? Maybe I should be less ambitious and just have the word "juggling" on there ? That would be fine ...

Can anyone help me out ? .... otherwise I may have to stalk portofino and copy hers Grin

What about if my DD just draws it and we do our own badge ?

Arghhh ! I hate copy-right !

Inspire a generation and then copy-right the images !

How can 5 circles be copy-right ?!

Why does everything have to be owned ? ....

< goes off to start own revolution ... Grin >

JugglingWithFiveRings · 07/09/2012 09:32

Oh, I know ... since I'm juggling the five rings they can all be separate, but just in the Olympic colours ... how does that sound ? Maybe a few oranges thrown in for good measure ?

marriedinwhite · 09/09/2012 01:02

Ooh badges - I don't do creative. Can I just have a standard pink one that says marriedinwhite please?

This reminds me, I must go and look in the bag I took to the last meet-up and see if I can find my old badge!

bigTillyMint · 11/09/2012 17:23

I have it!

Where is everybody?

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 11/09/2012 17:25

Hello tilly Smile

Is anyone from MNHQ coming to this?

BIWI · 11/09/2012 18:35

I think FrankWippery has invited them, but not sure if there was any response.

marriedinwhite · 11/09/2012 19:21

Who's now on the list. It's getting quite exciting now. Wondering what to wear. We have a housewarming for very long standing friends on Saturday, a wedding on 22nd and I have this on 29th. Can one new thing do all three and then turn into something dutiful for work with a jacket? Hmm. Can't do it in Phase 8; tried on Saturday. Boden - true to character? Mint Velvet - bit trendy for me? LKB - bit extravagant really. ??

However, DH is definitely away on "the" weekend so no need here for veiled excuses and early exits before my carriage turns into a pumpkin. Grin
