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.

Thanks
ExitPursuedByJKR · 02/10/2012 12:04

Yes Minty They are all in a speschalcleek where they know what each other looks like and real names and stuff.

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 02/10/2012 12:11

Oh you arses. Grin

RIGHT piss up in Swindon it is then. Grin

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 02/10/2012 12:12

Seriously I can't organise a piss up in a brewery.

This is why I am not married, because I can't plan parties Grin

JugglingWithPossibilities · 02/10/2012 12:20

The odd RL name offered on introduction, a few glimpsed badges, a few good chats over an evening ....

Don't worry Exit - I think most of us are still very dazed and confused

I am anyway, it's not just me is it ?

I need to do it all again - but get there earlier to stand half a chance Grin

BrainSurgeon · 02/10/2012 12:32

ROFL Grin Biwi that's brilliant

BrainSurgeon · 02/10/2012 12:33

Gwan Gertorf. I'll help you.

where's Swindon anyway?

[grun]

JugglingWithPossibilities · 02/10/2012 12:36

HaHa Grin

I did spot you and your badge BIWI and nearly came over ... I wish I had now ...
Like everyone says though the time flew by - I wish I could have got there earlier, but I got caught up having supper at my Quaker do earlier, and then took the scenic route past the Tower of London and over Tower Bridge, then up and down the road a bit with a bizarre troop of shining fairies Hmm before I finally found you all Grin

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 02/10/2012 12:40

Oh god I was joking about Swindon. You don't want to go there

Hullygully · 02/10/2012 12:41

Shall I just appoint someone to organise a christmas one?

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 02/10/2012 12:42

Shall I peel you a grape?

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 02/10/2012 12:44

I would choose a terrible pub full of scary types, I know it.

Either that or somewhere so boring and anodyne that everyone would hate me forever.

DollyTwat · 02/10/2012 12:53

You must have been quiet enough Getorf as I woke up at 10!!

I purpose a meetup in cheltenham for Xmas
Because I live there so would be easy for me

DollyTwat · 02/10/2012 12:54

*propose ffs

GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 02/10/2012 13:01

I couldn't believe you slept through it all.

Mind you I slept lightly, there was one HELLUVA fight between a load of women outside at about 3am, loads of 'i'm gonna fucking DO YOU Kelly' etc.

Ooh perhaps those were the late stragglers from the MN party? Grin

FrankWippery · 02/10/2012 13:35

I think it's Hully's turn to organise anyway isn't? I'm sure that's what we all agreed about on Saturday night.

OP posts:
GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt · 02/10/2012 13:40

Hully did instigate the last one. She started a thread saying 'let's have a meet up. Someone organise it'.

She should be CEO of the world with those powers of delegation. Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 02/10/2012 13:42

Yes, I think that was Hully's "payment" for not getting tossed in the river, wasn't it?

cupofteaplease · 02/10/2012 13:45

It couldn't have been you Knotty, fighting outside with Kelly, as you and Pistey were far too busy giggling about your matching nightwear in our bedroom... Your drunken-must-be-quiet guffaws filtered into my dreams!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 02/10/2012 13:48

GetOrf I have pm'd you. Twice. Don't blame me, blame my IT department.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/10/2012 13:50

That's just started me off again Cup Grin

cupofteaplease · 02/10/2012 13:56

Listen. If you all want a Christmas meet up in Milton Keynes, just say the word, I'm your gal.

needanswers · 02/10/2012 13:57

I had a lovely time - sorry to all those I moaned at! I feel a million, billion times better for having a change of scenery and some real life grown ups to talk to, who were lovely to boot. Thanks

I doubt I'll make the next one - unless you want me to give birth at the Christmas Do.

But I thought it would have been nice if the next "do" was somewhere we could all stay - so we have more time to meet each other :). Xx
