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.

And where is LaQueen?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 11/09/2012 20:20

We do need a list update please, I've lost track completely. I've hardly had any access for the last 2 weeks, now on our way back up through France, in a little hotel run by a Dutch family! And so excited to get online. Missed the badge deadline, I'd have to have a round one the size of a dinner plate to get my name on, so will knock one up myself.

bigTillyMint · 11/09/2012 20:22

LOL at your veiled excuses - that's what I tried to do the first time I went to a meet-up! DH takes it all in his stride now Grin

Can someone please PM me the FB page link?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 12/09/2012 23:48

OK, proper back now. Livid with person who was supposed to look after house and garden while we were away, cross with person who has done work while we were away but done it wrong (maybe partly DH's fault), absolutely fucking hopping mad with person who should have done work and hasn't. Leaving me with half done work and loads of mess, and a houseful arriving on fucking friday.
So, yes please ruby make me a badge, any bloody how you like, will pay you on the night Thanks.
If the veiled excuses dig was at me, I don't do veiled, I do smack 'em in the gob.
If it wasn't at me, sorry!

And breathe, and again.

Married, one thing can do all of those events. Now, get shopping! Smile

BellaVita · 13/09/2012 14:19

Bewitched, are you ok?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 13/09/2012 18:23

Thanks for asking Bella. Yes, I'm OK now. It was nearly 1am for me and that shitty Newhaven ferry is enough to put anyone in a bad mood without all the other stuff on top. Had to spend today cleaning up though, not my plan.
Now have a lovely glass of rosé and the rest of the mess will have to wait.
Sorry I off-loaded on you lot, I'm really not (that) scary Grin.
Really looking forward to the 29th and meeting you all, getting excited, it's quite close.
