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.

bigTillyMint · 30/09/2012 08:48

It was all fab! Thanks so much for organising it Frank (and Pistey and BIWI and, and!) - had a great time [grun]

Drank pints and pints of water when I got in, so the hangover's not kicked in yet. Think I might have to go back to bed though!

AnnieLobeseder · 30/09/2012 09:45

Twas all most fabulous, thanks everyone, esp the organising folks. [grun]

BigStickBIWI · 30/09/2012 10:01

Frank did a fab job. Really enjoyed last night and, remarkably, am hangover-free. Result!

DollyTwat · 30/09/2012 10:19

I'm not hangover free!

Yes Getorf is very tall and beautiful with legs up to her armpits!
I had a great time last night, lovely to see everyone

I think we were all very well behaved Grin

RebeccaMumsnet · 30/09/2012 10:20

Did anyone save us some cake?
Thanks Frank, it was really nice to meet you all.

OrangeandGoldMrsDeVere · 30/09/2012 10:24

Hello all
It was lovely to meet you all.
I don't have a hangover but I didn't get a lie in neever Hmm

Thank you for organising my trip out of the east end. It was very kind of you hope everyone got safely home

bigTillyMint · 30/09/2012 10:34

Ooh yes, the cake and the chocolates were delish - thanks for bringing themSmile

Hangover still hasn't kicked in - can't believe it after all the pre-meet-up cocktails. Maybe I'm still drunk?

ColdHandLou · 30/09/2012 10:40

Ooh yes it was a lovely evening & fab to put faces to names Smile
Feeling rather [grun] this morning though . . .

BigStickBIWI · 30/09/2012 11:08

How did the time go so quickly, though? There were loads of people I didn't get to talk to before it was time to leave. We'll have to have another one ...

ColdHandLou · 30/09/2012 11:16

I know, the whole night seemed to be over in 5 minutes!!

prettybird · 30/09/2012 11:27

What does a [grun] emotican look like? Is it a combination of Hmm, Envy and Confused?

FrankWippery · 30/09/2012 11:27

I have cake Rebecca. If I can have free reign for one day, it's all yours Grin

RebeccaMumsnet · 30/09/2012 11:31

An hour? Grin

BrainSurgeon · 30/09/2012 11:53

It was lovely and totally agree there was not enough time even though I was like an overexcited puppy jumping at everyone
So when's the next one? Grin

BrainSurgeon · 30/09/2012 11:54

That cake was a masterpiece in all possible ways - beautifully done! Thanks Frank!

ColdHandLou · 30/09/2012 12:02

Another big thank you for the cake - just had some for breakfast Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 30/09/2012 12:37

A big thank you for everything - esp to Frank. And thank you for the wine, really too kind, all I did was take money from you into my PayPal Grin

Lovely to meet old friends and new. Twas smashing. The hangover is a small price to pay.

beachyhead · 30/09/2012 12:50

Just made it home, thanks to everyone for organising and great to meet you all.....

Just co-incided with my teenage daughter on the train home, and she has a monumental hangover, so I'm feeling slightly more virtuous than her Grin

She is more grun than me, but I am grun also......

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/09/2012 13:24

It was fab wasn't it! DH was still up when I got home and laughed at me falling over myself and not able to get my key in the door. He did however let me stay in bed until 11! So feeling a little grun but not as bad as it could have been.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 30/09/2012 13:44

Just got home. Thanks to all the organisers, and tocat for sharing her room with me.
Was very lovely to put faces to names.

FrankWippery · 30/09/2012 13:49

A morning Rebecca and you have a deal.

I also have the rest of the chocolates that Pistey didn't nosh. Damn shame I am in so much pain that I can't eat them really. My tooth actually made me cry just now when I went to Boots. Lovely pharmacist gave me floaty stuff and magic teething gel for big people.

DD3 is on the 'if you reach it you can eat it' diet today. And I don't care.
