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 bring my Lionel Blue book for you Annie - he's always very comforting in a crisis. Hope you're OK - look forward to meeting you x

Poor Annie Sad

I have been on the verge of sobbing all week too. But I am well 'ard and therefore never cry. So you can have a little weep on my shoulder tomorrow and I will stroke your lovely hair.

I will also get pissed and smoke fags.

Just sayin'

Poor Annie Sad {{{hugs}}}

Errrrr catin? I fucking HATE Herman cake

BigStickBIWI · 28/09/2012 16:17

What the bloody hell is a Herman cake?

And are we all supposed to be bringing gifts?!

BellaVita · 28/09/2012 16:26

Oh god a Herman cake Shock

BIWI - it is a friendship cake.... You grow the yeast for the cake and then pass some on to a friend who would then do the same etc etc.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 28/09/2012 16:41

Oi cat, I hope you're not thinking of taking Herman to bed with you.
It might eat us!

QueefLatina · 28/09/2012 16:54

When you all meet up do you have frank debates or are you all polite to each other?

Has there ever been a real life MN bunfight?!

bigTillyMint · 28/09/2012 17:01

Grin frank debates? Grin

Hullygully · 28/09/2012 17:04

I've had that Frank Debates in the back of my cab

bigTillyMint · 28/09/2012 17:05

Still ROFL at thought of Frank Debates - have you any idea how much alcohol is drunk at a meet-up?!

QueefLatina · 28/09/2012 17:09

No frank debates?

I want to come now!

TuftyFinch · 28/09/2012 17:56

I know his brother. He doesn't argue half as much. Name's Aurthur.

QueefLatina · 28/09/2012 18:17

Keep your hands off Miss Debates though.....

Anna loves him and he is a murderer!! (possibly)

Hullygully · 28/09/2012 18:18
QueefLatina · 28/09/2012 18:20

Sorry, it's a Downton Abbey thing

AnnieLobeseder · 28/09/2012 18:32

Shall we have a crying corner?

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 28/09/2012 18:44

Grin at Miss Debates.

But what about her brother, Master Bates?

beachyhead · 28/09/2012 19:00

beachyhead · 28/09/2012 19:01

BellaVita · 28/09/2012 19:07

BigStickBIWI · 28/09/2012 19:08
