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.
When meeting up take sensible precautions. Meet in a public place and let others know where you are going.

MrsDV... admit it, you're drinking cherry lambrini off of Johnny Depps body arn't you? 
I love cherry lambrini 
We are off to sunny? Cornwall at the end of the month, I shall pack some in my bag. I feel I may need it on the sodding 6 hour drive with DH, 3dcs and dog
What kind of a girl do you take me for!
Johnny and me are Very Much In Love
I wouldn't dream of sullying our Relationship in such a sordid way 
Not until we have sunk another bottle of CherriLamb anyway....
Sigh
Cherry lambrini is like alcoholic pop - I remember my brother bought me a bottle ages ago, I drank it happily like it was cherryade and ended up plastered!
I hope you have a lovely holiday mrsdv - great weather.
I didn't think you were on your hols - it just sounded like you were in a fishing hut in Norfolk for a random reason.
You'll have to fight me for him getorf
I don't mind sharing though
mrsd send me the pics, I'll give you half the money I get from the papers
Hoping to go for it if I can work out where it's going to be !
Seems like an opportunity too good to miss since I'm serendipitously going to be in London that night anyway 
Have PM'd Frank for more details.
Loving the thought of meeting some of you not others of course - just joking - just wish I could remember everything I've said to each of you on the boards
Hopefully it will all be a drunken blur of alcoholic cocktails and cherry lambrini lollies. I saw a great recipe for Mother's Ruin punch which looked rather appropriate - after Blondes mentioned the gin.
Have just got back from a few nice days in Norfolk ourselves MrsDV - well, like a curate's egg and like most people's family holiday I imagine - "nice in parts"
Norfolk coast is beautiful though, many happy memories from my own childhood too. Looks like you had an even better week for weather than us - I think this last week has pretty much been the highlight of the English summer - nice the sun shone during most of the Olympic fortnight though
Like the English ? Not always cheerful but perfect manners - shone for our visitors ?
I'll stop before things get any more tangential !
