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.

MNHQ were far too young to be out last night Grin you looked all of about 12 years old Grin it was lovely to meet you.

The chocs and cake were fab.

cupofteaplease · 30/09/2012 14:13

I really enjoyed meeting lots of you Smile

The night went much too quickly though.

BigStickBIWI · 30/09/2012 14:53

Oh Cait - I'm sorry you're in such pain Sad Hopefully the drugs will sort you out.

bigTillyMint · 30/09/2012 15:03

Sorry to hear about the toothache - know from personal experience how bad that can be.

Pagwatch · 30/09/2012 15:31

Thanks to everyone who made the evening happen.

Lovely evening, lovely people, lovely chocolates, lovely chat.

JugglingWithPossibilities · 30/09/2012 16:17

Was lovely to meet you all - just sorry I couldn't get there earlier and meet everyone Sorry if I missed you !

JugglingWithPossibilities · 30/09/2012 16:22

Sorry too that I wasn't feeling brave enough to wear my purple hat !

Hopefully my eccentric primark blue cardigan fit the bill though of growing old disgracefully and not caring what anyone thinks ! You all looked very glam and wonderful Smile

CointreauVersial · 30/09/2012 17:49

Thanks all for a lovely evening! I made some new friends, and caught up with a few I've met before. And this time I didn't fall over at the station in the way home.

Oh, and the chocs and cake were fab.

T'was lovely to meet you though BS - and you looked way glammer than me Smile

Pagwatch · 30/09/2012 19:48

But everyone looked wonderful. I just have mn breast envy issues. I think it is the whole badge thing - forced to peer at people's chests just reminds me of that which I lack.

Did all the travelogue people ever get home. I have visions of them joining up with the procession of fairies and circling the area all night.

Portofino · 30/09/2012 20:02

Twas fab! You are all so gorgeous! The evening passed in a drunken haze flew by! The only disappointment was that I was promised a kebab!!!! Lovely to meet so many people. Glad you liked the chocs.

BellaVita · 30/09/2012 20:17

Porto, I think if we had let you have that kebab, it would have come back to haunt us all Grin

You are all bloody fab.

KnottyLocks · 30/09/2012 22:16

Pag, the travel dodgy posse arrived eventually: some on foot, some via Boris bikes. And no fairies were hurt in the process Smile

Pagwatch · 30/09/2012 22:18

Ha! Did they do the bike thing - I would have stayed to watch that.

Lovely to meet you Knotty, you fabulous thing!

KnottyLocks · 01/10/2012 06:47

Oh likewise , Pag . Was an absolute pleasure to meet you too Smile

I know where to come for advice on tailoring , fabulous frocks and how to be a lady!

I had a lovely time - it was lovely to meet you all (missed loads of people though).

Thanks to those who have said nice things - brown envelopes full of used tenners are in the post!
